There is enough proof that the additional CO2 caused massive greening of the Earth.


Can you explain what caused ice ages? 10K rises and falls in few years?


Glaciation is most strongly dependent on Milankovich cycles:

Plate tectonics and volcanic activity have also influenced climate in the past, e.g. the closing of the Panamanian isthmus, or the formation of the Deccan Traps.

Interestingly, the original paper proposing AGW (in 1896) was actually intended to explain Ice Ages:

"_All_ the studies are measuring the same tendency : the temperature is rising"

There could be lots of reasons for that. Anyway, the temperatures were not always rising, clear temperatures rise was observed in 1930-40s and in 1980-90s. Cooling in 1960-1970s. And yes, prediction has to be precise. If a model predicts rise of 3K in 100years, and you measure 1.3K - your model is wrong. It's even more wrong if you don't take into account any of the natural cycles, even if prediction is accidentally correct.


Steady? We have seen 20-years rise after a colder period. Nothing out of order.


CO2 isn't pollution. CO2 is causing massive greening of the earth.


This also means that if you hire unqualified women only because they are women, then your AI will have bias against women.


Quite the opposite, actually. Governmental regulations kill innovations.


Nothing can stop the next climate catastrophe. Which is the next ice age by the way, and not some mythical global warming.


Bans like this are unlawful and should be countered by a revolution.


Just look how much gasoline and diesel was sold. Anything else will give you tremendously wrong result.
