Climate Change
I came across this website when searching about another topic. As a science teacher with a BEd and a BSc, I am of course very in tune with the nature of science, scientific method, critical thinking, and rational thinking. I was optimistic about this site until I did a check to see what your 'take' on anthropogenic global warming was. I could not be more disappointed! The current climate change alarmist/climatology meme is the epitome of pseudoscience! Look at the overwhelming evidence from distant past, the near past, and the recent past! There is no climate 'tipping point', or it would have already happened in the last 4.6 billion years. You are worried about reaching 400 ppm CO2 when in the past, we have had 5000 ppm with no ill effects. Near the end of the Ordovician period, when CO2 was over 4000 ppm, we experienced an ice age! The fact is, CO2 is a beneficial gas, needed for plants for photosynthesis. Why do commercial greenhouses add CO2? If I could do one thing, as a biologist, to increase the robustness of all ecosystems on earth, I would double the current CO2 concentrations, because it would directly effect the producers (plants) by increasing their biomass production by about 40%! The earth's capacity for taking CO2 out of the atmosphere via the oceans is so high that before the industrial revolution, plants were almost on 'life support' because CO2 levels were so low. If anthropogenic global warming were true, why has there been no global warming for the last 16 years during which time we have been pumping out CO2 at ever increasing rates? What about the medieval warming period, the Holocene optimum, the Roman optimum, the little ice age? I could go on and on. The point is, if you wanted me think you have a credible, rational website, your coverage on the global warming or climate change was an epic fail.
