Great quotes from that article, Jon. I liked this especially: “Skeptics of man-made causes of global warming have nothing to rejoice over, however.”
Why, because the research actually doesn’t screw up the scienticians‘ years-old ploy of pretending that the climate was perfectly hunky-dory for hundreds of years until free men discovered the carburetor? No, actually.
The researchers say their studies appearing in Thursday’s issue of Nature also offer a peek at just how bad conditions can get.
“It probably was (a tropical paradise) but the mosquitoes were probably the size of your head,” said Yale geology professor Mark Pagani, a study co-author.
The article also goes on to make the appropriate nod to the Phrase of the Year, “tipping point.”
Speaking of, my guess is the tipping point of the phrase “global warming tipping point” is about the first week of November of 2008. Poor thing has such a short shelf life ? ten years! Although curiously, the clock on that ten years never seems to start. It’s been about a year or so since they’ve started saying “ten years” and it has yet to become nine.
