Here are the Ice Core Records That page has it own citations for additional information and verification.
Here is the graph showing the 18,000 year record itself, illustrating this stable period.
Additional on that page there are graphs following showing the last 200 year ice core record and 50 year record. You can see a significant break in the stable temperatures from about 47 years ago. Which coincides with the increased fossil fuel usage from the industrial revolution.
Kind of hard to ignore those facts. |
I must be obtuse, as I cannot decipher anything significant from these graphs, except that maybe there is only limited correlation between CO2 and temperatures, and maybe there is.
This is capped off at the foot of the page with the unbelievable comment:
".....
As Wallace Broecker likes to say, the Earth's climate system is "an angry beast" and one that we should not be poking with sticks, which of course is exactly what we are doing with all our carbon dioxide and other GTG emissions. We don't know exactly when or how "the beast" will react, but we do know that it eventually will...."
an angry beast?
are you suggesting that the climate is an angry beast that should not be poked with sticks?
is this part of some weird earth worshipping cult?
it certainly doesn't look like science.
