Yeah, it's been kinda nice. Tomato harvests have just about doubled here.

Great news.

Not if you think about what the need to adapt in your garden is doing to natural systems.

Global warming IS a natural system.

You're not aware that long lived greenhouse gasses have increased due to human activity?

it's not natural

The greenhouse theory of climate change has been debuked. CO2 increases with temperature, not the other way around.

The greenhouse theory of climate change has been debuked.

That's ridiculous. The earth's temperature would be an average of 0°F without greenhouse gasses.

We haven't got the absorption sprectrum of CO2 wrong. We use is to spot CO2 on planets more than 100 light years away.

CO2 increases with temperature, not the other way around.

You're thinking of prior to human activity. Then, it was a positive feedback loop. An increase in either increased the other. Which is why the ice age cycle warmed suddenly (5000 or 6000 years) and then cooled slowly (~90,000 years).

The current, human-caused warming is different. CO2 moved first.

CO2 was already rising in the mid 1850s.

But Temperatures didn't hit the minimum until after 1900

"Hur dur you don't understand" is such a tired and stupid argument.

Good point. I've improved my response to clarify again what it is that you don't understand.

Out of curiosity, where did you get your misinformation about the greenhouse effect? Did you make it up yourself, or did you believe someone who is pushing misinformation for the fossil fuel industry or for Russia?

What percentage of gardeners wish they were in a warmer zone? Try again Feddy.
