Einstein was right (again)

I think we are all a little too sceptical.
Admittedly there's way too much 'spin' on this 'story'. The real story is that they've proved it and had it peer-reviewed. Unlike the gazillion 'predictions' from the climate lobby.

not even I would dispute the rise in temperature (and most of those you've linked to are not predictive, they're analytical), what I dispute is
1. that it's all human
2. that the end of the world is neigh.

If they can find fossils on Antarctica then they were from a previous inter-glacial period.

Quite right, horses have got nothing to do with it!

You seem a little hoarse today.

Gavin Schmidt of NASA attributes 110% of the recent warming to manmade activity.

So let me get this straight - 100% of recent warming is from manmade activity - then a further 10% on top of that ???? is also due to man made activity.....

Can you explain how that works?

10% due to and it's obvious.

And what was the cause last time?

The words 'peer reviewed' appeared somewhere in my original post.

Isn't it odd that perhaps the greatest scientific announcement of the age gets hijacked by the ecoReligion?

[pjclarke]

Er-hem.

Admittedly there's way too much 'spin' on this 'story'. The real story is that they've proved it and had it peer-reviewed. Unlike the gazillion 'predictions' from the climate lobby.

But I agree, the science behind this announcement is mindboggling; I wrote this elsewhere

"About a billion years ago two black holes spiralled into each other, sending out gravity waves. Here on Earth, these minute ripples in spacetime were detected for the first time by two of the most sensitive instruments on the planet; detectors consisting of lasers, miles-long vacuum tubes and 40kg mirrors of ultrapure glass.

Thus confirming Einstein.Again.

This opens up the intriguing possibility of a 'gravity telescope' probably orbiting the Earth. As the early universe was transparent to gravitational waves, we may be able to 'see' all the way back to the Big Bang - the origin of the Universe and everything in it.

I love Physics, me."

What were the warm periods of the Jurassic Period down to, diplodocus farts and sweaty brontosaurs?

[NigelJK]

Volcanoes by all accounts, and we still have them.
