Re: February bucks the trend
Deniers only refer to the increased snow height without understanding the mechanism.
These are the same people who would also point to a colder drier Eastern Europe as proof global warming is false, if and when the gulf steam stops flowing.

The sun has been going through a cooling trend since 1960, yet temperatures still rise, why is that if it is not due to greenhouse gases?
quote:
Over the last 30 years of global warming, the sun has shown a slight cooling trend. Sun and climate are going in opposite directions. This has led a number of scientists independently concluding that the sun cannot be the cause of recent global warming.
One of the most common and persistent climate myths is that the sun is the cause. This argument is made by cherry picking the data - showing past periods when sun and climate move together but ignoring the last few decades when the two diverge.

Natural Carbon Sequestration
As we grow in population what effect do we have on carbon sequestration? I think of slash and burn agriculture practices in less developed countries, deforestation for lumber ect... add in pollution of the ocean and I wonder how much of an impact on the Earths natural carbon sink we have made.
I have looked into this a bit today, if anyone has any good info then please share. Stats???

Re: Natural Carbon Sequestration
As I understand it, the thawing of the arctic will also lead to the release of methane which is much worse than co2.
We seem to be at crucial point. I feel if we don't act soon then it may be too late. Some think we have waited too long??

There has been a huge change in sunspot activity since the little ice age
This is what evidence looks like...
Now do you still want to stand behind your statement?
Where is the huge change?
