  1. Get out there and report the weather!

  3. 1) It takes time to reach a new dynamic balance. You take an ice cube out in 35C weather. It does not instantly melt. The hottest month in the USA is August, but the Summer Solstice is in June. 2) 1) The CO2 levels in the oceans are also rising. This is making the ocean more acidic. 2) Rotting leaves? That's a zero sum process. Plus it doesn't fit the facts. How can we be sure that human emissions are responsible for the rising CO2 in the atmosphere? There are several lines of evidence. Fossil fuels were formed millions of years ago. They therefore contain virtually no carbon-14, because this unstable carbon isotope, formed when cosmic rays hit the atmosphere, has a half-life of around 6000 years. So a dropping concentration of carbon-14 can be explained by the burning of fossil fuels. Studies of tree rings have shown that the proportion of carbon-14 in the atmosphere dropped by about 2% between 1850 and 1954. After this time, atmospheric nuclear bomb tests wrecked this method by releasing large amounts of carbon-14. Fossil fuels also contain less carbon-13 than carbon-12, compared with the atmosphere, because the fuels derive from plants, which preferentially take up the more common carbon-12. The ratio of carbon-13 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere and ocean surface waters is steadily falling, showing that more carbon-12 is entering the atmosphere. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11638-climate-myths-human-co2-emissions-are-too-tiny-to-matter.html#.Ui8IglFDsZo
  4. So you discount 163 yrs of data and yet embrace the last 15 yrs! How about 40 mil yrs of data. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130102104945.htm By comparing reconstructions of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and sea level over the past 40 million years, researchers based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton have found that greenhouse gas concentrations similar to the present (almost 400 parts per million) were systematically associated with sea levels at least nine metres above current levels. The study determined the ‘natural equilibrium’ sea level for CO2 concentrations ranging between ice-age values of 180 parts per million and ice-free values of more than 1,000 parts per million. It takes many centuries for such an equilibrium to be reached, therefore whilst the study does not predict any sea level value for the coming century, it does illustrate what sea level might be expected if climate were stabilized at a certain CO2 level for several centuries.

While global surface temperatures have not warmed significantly since 1998, other studies have shown that Earth’s climate system continues to warm, with emerging evidence indicating that the deep oceans may be taking up much of the extra heat. That extra heat is expected to be released back into the atmosphere in the coming decades. Even with a slowed rate of warming, the first decade of the 21st century was still the warmest decade since instrumental records began in 1850. ...

  7. And while Depp received flack as a white actor playing a Native American, he was very careful to consult with leaders of Native American communities, including William "Two Raven" Voelker, as an adviser to the film. "The production was blessed by the Navajo and the Comanche and I got a call from LaDonna Harris, who has been a Comanche activist for many years, to say that she wanted to adopt me into her family and into the Comanche nation. It's a great honor," Depp boasted. Read more at http://global.christianpost.com/news/johnny-depp-buying-site-of-wounded-knee-battle-for-native-americans-99862/#YMeuE7wcfP8Ckzrd.99
