I don't think climate change is the topic. It's if mankind is accelerating it. Also I saw the comment about palm trees in antarctica. Remember continental drift, antarctica may have been on the equator. As for measuring co2 levels you can do it without equipment based on fossils and other geographic/flora/fauna data.
Well if you climb to the top of mountains on the north east border of Yellowstone park, above treeline, you will find the stumps of petrified trees big enough to sit on. The best case of "**** happens" I have ever seen!
I'm thinking these particular mountains got here before white guys started driving SUVs and polar bears were running out of ice. And no, I ain't Skeeerd!
Uhm. I have no idea what that has to do with anything. You mentioned tree stumps on top of mountains.
Not quite sure you know what that means...Here is what I am trying to say. Mountains take quite a time to grow, the mountain range you are referring to could have been at ground level with trees, then it slowly became a mountain. Then the trees became petrified. Both mountain range creation and "petrification" take a long time. Exactly what are you getting at.
Well, for man made climate change to take effect, or even exist, I'm guessing man would have had to be present, I'm suggesting that our earth has had plenty of changes and man kind has little to do with any of it.
...And I can respect that. But your argument for petrified wood on the mountains of yellowstone has nothing to do with it. Trees were at ground level, mountains put them up there an they got petrified - doesn't exactly add anything to your argument of climate change. Same thing with palm trees in Antarctica, if you believe in plate tectonics or continental drift, the palm trees are independent of climate change. Though one could argue that antarctica was always down there and it got warm enough for it to grow palm trees, but I dont think that theory would survive long since the equator would have been blazing hot. Also, I think most everyone believes in climate change, the question is more if mankind is accelerating climate change. In my mind, we are accelerating it faster than the earth can cope.
Anybody watch the new documentary series on Showtime called "Years of Living Dangerously?" Pretty interesting.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
