If we are going to get blamed for everything we might as well be given the chance to run everything.
The Canschluss is coming. Resistance is futile. Prepare to be USsimilated.
Have no fear we are multi-cultural. You will not be forced to assimilate beyond wearin the proper hockey jersey for your region.
That is weather not climate. You are held back a year for failing the course.
Since an eon is a billion years, you are correct. However, we do have ocean acidity records for the past 300 million years.
What was that about significant figures, again?
Sorry, I know the definition of climate:
Apparently not, since you routinely equate it with weather.
I agree, but you replied to the wrong poster. Our beneficient host, Phrodeau, is the one who routinely has that misunderstanding. He regularly posts record for local weather as evidence the the climate of the planet has changed.

You guys just got a hockey team back in Winnipeg, let's see how you handle that first.
You STILL do not know what the term "significant figures" means.
The IPCC believes a change of 1-3 degrees Celsius is significant enough to cause changes.
"The IPCC predicts that increases in global mean temperature of less than 1.8 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 3 degrees Celsius) above 1990 levels will produce beneficial impacts in some regions and harmful ones in others. Net annual costs will increase over time as global temperatures increase."

I am old enough to remember when the scientist told is we were about to enter the new ice age about 40 years ago and what we should do to prevent it. This was not some off the wall tiny research. Time magazine made it the front cover and listed a lot of scientific data. The ice age was something to worry about
The writer of the article lately has admitted he was wrong but his prediction was based on the best science of the time. Which turned out to be totally wrong. Now he is worried about global warming because the science now says it's true. Really, really it's true this time.
Scientists noticed that historically, the world had been heading towards an ice age.[52] A minority of scientists in the 1970s and earlier also predicted that the pollution would have cooling effect due to increased cloud cover from factories and other emissions. This actually is a thing and does throw a bit of a curveball into the models and appropriate course of action. For example, after 9/11 global air traffic more or less shut down, and the lack of contrails led to the discovery that airplane contrails act to stabilize air temperature throughout the day[53]. The real world is complicated,[citation NOT needed] and people use science to discover how it works. As such, scientific knowledge marches ever forward, and obviously the world has been warming. But the few works published have been enough for "climate skeptics" to strip mine for quotes.
Trotting out the global cooling trope is sometimes called the ice age fallacy.
Geeze. The gym teacher too?
S I G N I F I C A N T F I G U R E S does not mean interesting or meaningful figures.
Did none of take a statistics, physics or chemistry class?

No, it means when your calculations produce a figure with a large number of digits to the right of the decimal point, you should disregard as unimportant all but the first two or three. Irrelevant here.

Hey I agree global cooling was honestly presented as the best science at the time.
