Finally! Scientific proof positive that global warming is obviously real! Time for carbon trading, nuc-powered cars, and getting rid of cows and their methane producing, atmosphere destroying farts!
Climate change is a huge concern for many, many reasons: the ice caps are melting, droughts are sweeping the world and mega-hurricanes are striking cities that have never before had to weather such storms. But it’s only recently that climate change has threatened Australia’s hilarious but substantial kangaroo nutsack trade. The hopping marsupials’ scrotums, which are crafted into souvenir bottle-openers and key rings, have made manufacturer John Kreuger, hereby known (by me) as the King of Ballsacks, hundreds of thousands of dollars. These days, however, John’s trade is suffering due to a series of floods in Queensland – which some meteorologists believe to have been caused by climate change. The flooding has purportedly pushed kangaroos inland and away from the areas where they’re normally killed for their testicles.
The kangaroo nuttsack industry is only one of many casualties in the job market. Hopefully this will convince teatards that global warming must be dealt with as best we can.
When you can tell me why our global climate change is affecting Mars, too, I’ll take the theories put forth by the the pseudo-scientific community seriously.
Well is because weather patterns are affected across interstellar space.
How? Why?
Because you’ll believe anything…
Really? Across interstellar space?
Well, if it does that, then it would surely work across interplanetary space, too.
Thanks. That cleared it right up.
Can’t be more retarded or anti-science than to bring some loose association with Mars of Venus into the discussion.
Talk about your nut sacks!!
Stupid Human.
Really, bobbo? I would have thought you’d find it, at least, interesting.
The fact is, the icecaps on Mars have been shrinking.
Here is perhaps one of your favorite ‘tard sites to question it {about as credible as Popular Mechanics ‘debunking’ 911 controlled demolition} —

Hmm. Are we dancers or just corporate apologists?
Well–it is “interesting.” What its NOT, is what I comment on: evidence, proof, or argument regarding what is happening on Earth.
Generically == not relevant. Interesting when some point is made and then explained or extrapolated to show how some fact/observation applies to the same issue on Earth.
Goes to the human failing not to tell shit from shinola. Surprised you go for it Timmy. anyone good with tangents, as you ARE, should spot a tangent miles away: you can even seen them from space!!
Golly. All the way out to the non-planet Pluto, to. And every one in between for that matter.

Of course, correlation is not causation but neither does retard a peer-reviewed scientist make.
OK Timmy—lets say that the Sun is putting out more energy applying a warming factor to our entire solar system.
HOW would that increase solar/gama/photon/whatever activity affect the Planet Earth given its SPECIFIC climate related/sensitive factors?
What causes imcreased atmospheric pressure on Pluto may simply be refected by the ionisphere here on Earth. Who knows?—I DON’T.
…..and neither does anyone else posting on this forum. I accept my limitations. I don’t subliminally read a bumpersticker and mindlessly argue the Dogma as if I knew anything.
Who does know?
Yes, the IPCC.
You either form opinions/political action based on THE BEST SCIENCE AVAILABLE….. or you are a science denying devo.
Look deeply within yourself. Its a decision you make every time you open your mouth. Be careful what you say…. people tend to listen to themselves uncritically.
Yea, verily!!!
I think I know what is really causing the global warming.
Bobbo’s loving worship of me. It warms my heart so much, it’s raising the temperature of the entire solar system.
Thank you, Bobbo.

-Is there a global warming over past 200 years? – yes.
-From what are we warming? – From the coldest few centuries over last 10000 years.
-Is Earth warmer than average over 10000 years? No. We are still, despite 200 years of warming in 10% of coldest years over 10000 year period.
-Was Earth warmer than average during human history? – Many times. Collaboration of archeological and physical evidence.
-Was it terrible during these warm periods in human history? – just the opposite. All major civilization booms and prosperity periods coincide with much warmer than average periods.
-Was it terrible during colder than average periods? – yes. Major famines, wars, declines of civilization coincide with cold periods, including current one. WWII, WWI, Civil war, Napoleon,… Trade in kangaroo scrotums.
-At this pace of warming, when will we reach 10000 year average temperatures? – 300 more years. At this pace of warming we will be below average for generations to come.
-Does it matter what is warming us? – yes. Progressive nuts want human caused global warming as the “scientific” excuse for application of their oppressive controlling ideology. Abuse of both the science and the free people. Un-ideological science points to the proportion of high energy particles from Sun and space in general as the major factor controlling temperature of the Earth.
The flooding has purportedly pushed kangaroos inland and away from the areas where they’re normally killed for their testicles.
Its because of the anthropogenic rise in the overall natural IQ since man appeared on the scene.
Did you ever think that maybe they just don’t like getting killed?
Its like the Syrian refuges. The rest of the middle-east is up to its armpits in ex-Syrians because they would rather move than get slaughtered…

Short little fuckers.
Its a survival strategy. 🙂
So that’s why Australia instituted a carbon tax.
My bad. Australia just threw out the carbon tax party and put Tony Abbott back in charge.
The climate is changing. Big shock that. It has always been unstable. How much of that change is due to burning fossil fuels is very much open to debate especially since the “pause” in global warming that started about 16+ years ago after 15 yrs of warming while CO2 keeps on going up. My numbers suggest that unless you actually double the amount of CO2 at least once it isn’t going to have a clearly measurable impact. People who have never been told that global warming occurred wouldn’t even know global warming had occurred. So far the planting zone maps I use selecting which plants I can set out and which I can’t haven’t changed.
….. and yet sea level is constantly and steadily rising.
All you have to do is: Look!

There you go again. For someone who posted about how great he is with a dictionary, you really should be more careful. It is clearly not constantly rising, and if it were steadily rising, which is what I’ve been arguing, then CO2 is not the culprit. The trend in your chart, looking at 20 year chunks, shows the current rate to be middle of the pack, and below the previous scores. Plus the chart has curiously left out the last several years, which it used to show before. Someone is hiding the decline.
What a novel idea. Here’s a pretty one — the last link on that page.

An updated chart, unlikely wikipedia editor’s deliberately moving the chart back to 2008 to hide a drop in 2009-2010.
Now they say 3.2mm/yr, I check in the part that wikipedia is not showing. In 5.5 years, I would expect 5.5*3.2=17.6mm of growth. Looks like that’s what we have. No acceleration. Now the tide gauge numbers report lower sea level rise, but still a rise of over 2mm /year. So at best you could claim effect of CO2 is 100 mm/century=4 inches.
But wait
http://cato.org/publications/commentary/current-wisdom-no-climaterelated-acceleration-sea-level-rise
Turns out it is because we are taking water out of the ground for drinking water, that accounts for a significant amount of sea level rise.
But, I always hold it in and release at the local municipal inlets {such as, Dadeville, Al.} — Waste not, want not…
Say Mickey==how does the chart you link to not show a steady sea level rise? The solid line is the trend line.
Zig for Zag. You post to a link that negates what you say. Thats not being dishonest.
Whats the other word?
Steady sea level rise is what you should be arguing against. Steady sea level rise means that CO2 has no effect on the sea level rise.
Copied from my above post, for the reading comprehension deficient:
and if it were steadily rising, which is what I’ve been arguing,

I seem to recall some loose talk about the magnetic poles shifting, a few years ago. Something that happens naturally every few thousand years. Because it shows up in the ocean floor core samples taken. As the tectonic plates shift, and new strata is formed. And they’re not sure, but such a shift could effect the weather.
But suddenly, you just don’t hear about that magnetic shifting anymore. It’s all human being’s fault that the weather is out of whack. Because obviously, we have no effect on the earth’s molten core, that’s responsible for the magnetic field. And I’m sure the scientists will now say, the magnetic field is so weak, it’s not significant enough to effect the earth’s weather.
But the less than 3% of the world’s total CO2, that humans generate. THAT’s significant enough to effect everything?! They’re might picky about what is significant, and what isn’t. Seems it’s always what human being can be blamed for, is significant. And whatever occurs naturally, even in vastly huger percentages, is not. Let’s just can it what it really is. The “science” of climate, these days. Is about making us all into scapegoats, whose guilt can be exploited. Politically and financially.
You’re all bad, because you live and breathe, and you’re ruining the earth. So hand over your money, because that will fix it. The biggest con job on earth, is about the earth. It’s one big ecological Pyramid scheme. With guys like Al Gore at or near the top. And all the rest of us, at the bottom. Slaving away to build and prop it up. Welcome back to the rule of the Pharaohs. Now get busy appealing those climate gods.
“With guys like Al Gore at or near the top” the poles may flip because the crust became unstable like when too many military bases are on Guam, causing it to capsize.

Nope. Do you get extra EBT credits for being retarded?
Yes, the general geomagnetic record is recorded well with the sea-floor spreading as the magma comes out of the cracks and hardens in the field, the orientation is then preserved and spread laterally away from the boundary.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_magnetic_field#Magnetic_field_reversals
The magnetic field may affect climate due to it’s effect on cosmic rays and bits of solar wind — It is proposed that Mars lost its’ atmosphere because it first lost it’s field.
Some hold that solar activity interacts with Earths’ ‘dynamo’ like changing magnet orientation to each other to even enhance earthquakes {unlikely}.
There are transient field anomalies all over the place most likely because of the unique ordered interplay of a Muslims’ refrigerator magnets because all Muslims must face Mecca when getting out the breakfast juice.
As to ‘pole flip’, some hold that it is actually the crust of Earth suddenly slipping around the viscous interior mantle — A nice explanation for the Great Flood, indeed. Those who ascribe to this theory know that all will be well with them when it happens because they happen to have a rich great uncle on Nibiru.
New paper out confirming some details of the galactic cosmic ray theory, that the sun has caused global warming. The CO2-based scientific-technical complex is going to have to go into overdrive to keep the money and power flowing. Lucky for them the latest IPCC report is just about wrapped up.
I can assure you that although the kangaroos may have moved away from floods, there are still hundreds and millions of the buggers out there.
My (Canadian) uncle went to Australia in the 60s to hunt rabbit, really big, hungry and fast breeding fuckers too.
He and the rest of his crew used to ride on a moving flatbed truck filled with case upon case of shotgun shells and fire off the side of the truck into a fucking mass of bunnies.
He came back a changed man, and he never again wanted to eat rabbit again. (He called them bouncing locust.)

Earth has an atmosphere, Mars doesn’t. Do you think that factor makes a difference or not?
Most idiots wanting to compare other planets use Venus for that reason. At least there is an atmosphere on Venus. Care to guess if there are any significant differences though that negate any simple comparison? You know—like your brain to a Kangaroo’s Nutsack? One useful, the other not????
Ha, ha. What a retard.

The martian atmosphere would leave you gasping and, in short-order, quite dead.
That’s quite close enough to “no atmosphere” as to not make any difference.
Are you serious? Just because humans can’t breath the atmosphere it doesn’t have one.?
You can’t breath underwater either, but that doesn’t mean the earth doesn’t have oceans.

The atmosphere of Mars is over 95% carbon dioxide, 95.32% to be exact. The breakdown of gases goes like this:
Carbon dioxide 95.32%
Nitrogen 2.7%
Argon 1.6%
Oxygen 0.13%
Carbon monoxide 0.07%
Water vapor 0.03%
Nitric oxide .0013%
Trace gases(including krypton, methane, etc)

The kind of scientifically based insight that only Republicans put to good use. I would say “In the Real World” except we are talking about Mars.
Science–the only method to find the truth. Held in disrespect everywhere!
Of course, you do realize that there was very little elemental oxygen on earth before we were swimming in plant shit, don’t you? — It started out as all co2 before; Imagine that.

Sorry Timmy–I have to give you a Pedro for that lack of elevating your peers to the same assumed level of knowledge that you have. It is the basis for sent and received sarcasm. Hence the Pedro.
Says the guy who ignores studies that don’t agree with his thinking, calling them disappointing.
Actually the floods were on time and part of what’s been going on down under for some time. It just didn’t match up with the projections of people who put way to much stock in the modals created by the anthropogenic warming crowd.
The IPCC crowd has stuck disclaimers all over their more recent work but they are still 95% confident. Of course their job is literally to figure out how to mitigate anthropogenic warming so they are stuck with it even if the warming pauses for 16+ years and the costs outweigh the benefits of doing something that isn’t projected to have a meaningful impact on climate.
