The first and fourth questions are the province of paleoclimatology, and NASA simply doesn't have the capacity to answer them. The rest are political questions, and NASA has an obvious conflict of interest there. NO scientific organization can possibly provide scientific answers to those questions, because they are outside the realm of science. <br /><br />As a fun exercise, I recommend anyone interested in the climate change debate to read Zachos et al., 2001. Just copy and paste that into Google and the paper will come up. It's a systematic examination of climate over the course of the Cenozoic (going into the Cretaceous a little). Definitely some interesting data in that paper.

Just a second.<br /><br />(5) that it can be reversed by replacing a whole lot fossil fuels with nuclear.<br /><br /><br />There, fixed it. And that fixes 6) 7) and 8) as well.

I mean, if you wanted the correct answers you would ask a reputable scientific organisation, surely. Here's a link to get you started:<br /><br />https://climate.nasa.gov/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219336096679484145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-25385339585876208892018-10-12T05:21:24.723+13:002018-10-12T05:21:24.723+13:001) Outside of carefully-constructed statistical ar...1) Outside of carefully-constructed statistical arguments, "significant" is (or will be seen as) a weasel word. <br /><br />4) An interesting statement. Biologically speaking the catastrophe is actually ongoing--the dieout of the mammalian megafauna started at 12ka. <br /><br />5) Another interesting one. The problem is, wind and solar on industrial scales are geoengineering. They require the re-shaping of square miles of terrain. And industrial solar plants using molten salt can light birds on fire mid-air. <br /><br />8) This point is unnecessarily hostile. From a tactical perspective, it will eliminate any reasonable climate change activist from responding. That's the most extreme interpretation of what they say.

I would add another, maybe between 6 and 7... are government programmes (emissions tax etc.) capable of forcing the replacement? I don't think so... just another cash grab.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017017544509451469noreply@blogger.com
