You guys have artificially attached the hysteria to my position.

I can agree with the group that there may be exaggeration for how urgent a crisis climate change is, or how much our lives should be affected trying to do something about it.

Where we diverge is you refusing to acknowledge a scientific fact. I don't.

It's very different to say "The earth orbits the sun as it rotates on its axis" and "OMG!!! Earth's gonna spiral into the sun!!!"

I'm saying the former. The fact. It is ignorant to try to debate a solid scientific fact. The appropriate reaction to that fact is another story entirely, and one perhaps we could agree on, if you would just acknowledge the reality that is anthropomorphic climate change.

I refuse to acknowledge what does not exist.

If you had data from 500-5000 years ago and wanted to compare, then I might listen. But to take a small stretch of time and try to claim it as "scientific fact", well, that is absurd. Like Kaos said, that same small fact finding group took a small sample of facts in the 70s and told us we would freeze to death.

So the bottom line here is, the facts do not tell the whole story.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

The earf is only 29 years old.  I's born in 1984, and therefore, I cain't be expected to believe it be any older than that!

Yeah, the data is from 650,000 years ago, which of course means it's BULLSHIT because the earth's only a couple thousand according to the flawless Bible.

Right. Because Brontosaurus Bob  had CO2 measuring equipment attached to his cranium.

What did they measure CO2 with 650,000 years ago? I think it was alien technology myself.

Yeah, you're right. NASA probably just made those numbers up out of thin air bubbles trapped deep in the ice of Greenland and Antarctica. Just as an example.

No way to scientifically measure things that "happened" before the beepity-boop CO2 transmodulizerograph was invented 1972.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me. 
-Ayn Rand

The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.
-The Right Honourable Margaret Thatcher

The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.
-Milton Friedman

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
-Ronald Reagan

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

I agree with you on this but I don't see how it supports your argument.

Because numerous fields of science have discovered and now utilize ways to measure far into the past. 

I wasn't around when that tree was born, but I can count the rings inside to tell how old it is.  Similar to that. 

I wasn't around to know if Alabama was once covered by an ocean or not.  But there's geological evidence to prove it.

I wasn't around to know if dinosaurs existed.  But there's fossils in the ground.

I wasn't around 65 million years ago to know if dinosaurs were around then, but there's carbon dating to determine it. 

I wasn't around 650,000 years ago to know what the CO2 levels were in the atmosphere, but there's...wait...nope this one's not allowed.

Actually, knowing what happened thousands of years ago proves more against Man Made Climate Change  than anything.

We know there were floods, an ice age, and other catastrophic events.

No one is really arguing that. What some are simply saying is that Billy Bob's Dodge Ram, Carnegie's steel factories, Coal burning and Vanderbilt's railroads are NOT the reason for these natural events - cooling, warming, volcanos, weather patterns, whatever. These are cyclical events that have been happening since we could observe it.

The technology to be able to see things that happened before the industrial revolution, if anything, proves they are natural and cyclical. Big trucks and 727's had nothing to do with great weather pattern changes in 3rd century China - which we know happened (Great Flood). Or an uncanny hail storm that proceeded (and helped fuel) the French Revolution.

Man is very arrogant in how powerful he thinks he is. But Mother Nature thinks its hilarious.

I don't think anyone in this thread has stated that climate change is being caused by technological advancements.

Yes you are. Who made those things? Al Gore and the man made climate change crowd blames everything on exhaust emissions from automobiles, trains and factories. I believe tarheel even referenced the term and corrected Chad a few replies back.
