You are sceptical????
Yes.
And so should
you be.
AGW is merely the currently accepted hypothesis.
And, there's no credible, reliable evidence to support it.
I'm denying nothing my friend.
Climate changes.
Nobody I've seen in here denies that.
And your little hypothesis may indeed be correct, however, currently there is no credible, reliable evidence to support it.
That may change in the future though. You see, unlike the AGW alarmists, I have an open mind on the subject.
I'm an open-minded sceptic monkey boy.
Hard for a closed-minded cult follower to understand, I know. But there it is.
'Currently accepted hypothesis': nothing more.
The last 30 years of rapid global warming has not been seen since about 55 million years ago, when a mass clathratic methane and permafrost release occurred. And this event that occurred 55 million years ago produced global warming rates that were very much lower than what has been measured in the past 30 years.
You may need to venture even further back to see such rapid thermal retention rates - to the KT boundary event, that occurred about 65 million years - an asteroid impact event that wiped out the dinosaurs and about 95% of the earths species.
It seems as through you live in your little cosy ignorant religious cult of Denialism and need a massive asteroid to hurtle down from space and slam into your head before you open your eyes and pay attention to the facts.
What are scientists telling the world about what is driving this unprecedented warming rate the earth has undergone over the past half a dozen decades?
