The debate on global warming is over. Way over.

[hedgehog]

no reason to argue its an elaborate hoax perpetuated by the Liberals to scare you. That is all it is.

my point about the dinosaurs is global warming/climate change is not man made at all.

02. Why did the dinosaurs die out?
CLIMATE CHANGE
What was the climate like during the Mesozoic Era (250- 65 million years ago)?

When dinosaurs ruled the Earth, the climate was most likely hot and humid. There is no evidence of Ice Ages or glaciations found in rocks of this age. There is a lot of evidence of tropical species existing at this time. Atmospheric carbon dioxide was close to present-day levels. The ice caps at the North and South Pole had melted, resulting in raised sea levels. Australia was breaking away from Antarctica and gradually moving away from the South Pole, closer to the Equator.

Conifers and ferns dominated the landscape and the first flowering plants were appearing. About half of Australia was covered by shallow inland seas. Evidence for this comes from fossils found in the rocks of this region. They contain marine molluscs and large pre-historic reptiles such as ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs. Today this area is called the Great Artesian Basin.

Dinosaurs ruled the planet for over 100 and something million years, 165,000,000 maybe?

In your post you said climate change is a liberal hoax, yet in the very next paragraph cite climate change as the cause of their demise. If climate change killed the dinosaurs, unless you have in your possession a dinosaur's voter registration card saying liberal on it, it can't possibly be a liberal hoax.

Dinosaurs were killed off because they weren't a sustainable species. There are arguments that a meteor strike caused it. There have been several geologists that have discovered iridium deposits in fossillary evidence. Iridium only occurs in space so the deposits came from an exploding star or a meteor strike.
What is clear, and is backed up in the article you posted is their is an abundance of evidence to show that the planet had warm temperatures and abundance of flora. That is shown in the fossils and such. What is also clear is the fossils we find all were fossilized by extraordinary volcanic action. All of it. Something caused an extreme amount of volcanic action that released huge levels of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This would have blocked all sunlight and killed the plant life inside a month. The earth would be covered in several feet of ash and the oceans would have risen to deadly levels. That's why Barney is dead.

Carbon levels after the catastrophe may very well have approached present day levels.

You seem to think this was the only mass extinction and it is not. The Cretaceous- Tertiary extinction, the one you're referring to, happened 65 million years ago. The Permian- Triassic extinction, called the great dying, occurred almost 200 million years prior and killed 95% of the marine life and 75% of mammalians and vertebrates.

The problem is you're trying to use historical hypothesis to disprove scientific data and it doesn't work that way. What happened prior to homo-sapien can't be used as evidence to disprove today's facts, just as the plague can't be used to disprove the effectiveness of vaccinations.

Your argument is invalid.

The military believes it's real. Should be enough for some of you.

Either Lloyds of London, NASA, the Pentagon, every reputable scientist on the planet, and anyone with an IQ over 80 are all being duped by a "liberal hoax" or.....

Hegetard is an imbecile.

I'll keep driving my suv in spite of what the liberal loons tell you. weather patterns have been around since the dinosaurs, it's not man made, that's a blatant lie

Carry on :0008

Climate change isn't about man made weather patterns. We don't make the weather happen. Our carbon wastes accelerate already changing climate. If you honestly think that man's presence doesn't have any effect on the earth, then I don't know what to tell you.

The U.S. Department of Defense is just a bunch of "liberal loons" trying to scare us. You're hilarious Hedge. Luckily you represent a fringe minority.
