Ok.
Any time I've seen data promoting alarmism it has always seemed to be cherry picked from the last 100 or so years.
Any time I've seen data from the ice core samples, it seemed to be telling the opposite.
No, I don't have the data. I don't store it. Not going to spend my time trying to gather it up.
Simply stating a personal observation.
My hundred years of data includes core samplings covering hundreds of thousands of years. You were way too quick on the trigger.
About the time that Crichton wrote this article I was having lunch with my uncle and a friend of his. Climate change was just becoming a more widely known concern. So I asked my uncle and his friend what they thought about it. Was it real and was it a cause for concern. They both replied, yes.
My uncle was the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the California Institute of Technology, better known as Caltech. He's one of three scientists credited with establishing the age of out planet. He's the co-founder of a branch of science known as Exo Geology. Oh, yeah, he also trained the astronauts how to gather samples on the moon to start to build a geological history for it.
If you ever saw Tom Hanks' miniseries
From the Earth To The Moon, he's portrayed in it. Funnily enough, none of the creators actually ever met Leon because he was known as a super serious scientist who wouldn't have given them the time of day.
I never met a more skeptical human being in my life, except for my father who was an Aerospace engineer who designed life support for Apollo, and a bunch of other things in a career spanning 60 years.
My uncle's friend at that lunch was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, no slouch himself, and also a hard core skeptic. They had been studying the data and were satisfied that the concerns were genuine.
Since then I've done quite a bit of reading on the topic, much of it boring scientific studies rather than glossy crap.
I'll take them over you, or any other self proclaimed "expert" on this forum when it comes to this topic.
