re: #634 RogueOne

Can you provide me with the names of any scientists who say humanity is facing extinction?

Sure. First of all, do you understand what an extinction event is?

Or can you provide me with any evidence from the history of the planet where warming wiped out all life?

Ah, no, I see you don’t understand. An extinction event doesn’t wipe out all life, it wipes out large amounts of life.

And yes, the Paleocence-Eocene thermal maximum was a mass extinction event caused by warming.

Are you seriously going to stick with your 95% certainty that the warming has to be due only to human caused/released CO2 even after the CERN experiment showed the climate models are seriously flawed?

Heh. Sorry, but that’s bullshit.

The guy who did the experiment says this:

“At the moment, it actually says nothing about a possible cosmic-ray effect on clouds and climate, but it’s a very important first step”

It says ‘nothing’, and yet to you it’s proof positive. Weird.

Here’s the longer explanation of why it is not, in fact, the big thing that rips the lid of the global warming conspiracy:

The CERN experiment only tested one-third of one out of four requirements to blame global warming on cosmic rays. At least two of the other requirements (strengthening solar magnetic field, fewer cosmic rays reaching Earth) have not been met over the past 50 years. The lead scientist in the CERN CLOUD experiment explicitly stated that the experiment “actually says nothing about a possible cosmic-ray effect on clouds and climate.” Many other studies have concluded that cosmic rays play a minor role in cloud formation, and have not contributed in any significant way to the global warming over the past 50 years.
