This is utter bullshit, questionable.

Don't post shit like this here. It's pathetic, we're not the idiots this was written for.

If you don't know:

  • It is not new or interesting that "Greenland, with winter warming over four times more rapidly than summer." Winters and nights warm faster than summers and days. This is a consequence of CO2 warming working by slowing the rate of heat loss. So it affects cool times more. It's been both measured and modelled for over 50 years.

  • There is no "decreasing trend in warming rate as we move from north to south." Antarctica is warming at nearly twice the global average.

  • Milankovitch cycles have a period of about 100,000 years. They are not the primary driver climate change since 1950, and we're in the cooling phase of the cycle.

Please read what your posting, mate. This does nothing for this site, and anyone with any education should have been able to notice that before subjecting is to this blatant propaganda.

Exellent response. Indeed, one would hope that "we're not the idiots this was written for."

Yeah, I know there's a stack of science deniers over at climateskeptics, and that they remove scientific positions and uncomfortable questions.

But because of the latter, I think that even they aren't true believers.

And people with any interest in climate science know what Milankovitch cycles are. Attributing the current warming to them targets the near-illiterate.
