CRAZY GRAPH ARGUMENT FOR AGW http://grist.org/list/send-this-crazy-graph-to-the-climate-deniers-you-know/
Well… the “Crazy Graph” to which Holly Richmond (Grist.org) has referred, has indeed arrived in the lap of a “denier.”
Thus, I have an anthropomorphic global warming (AGW) representation to compare to my educated knowledge of the processes and history of earth climate. I have labeled this the Klein Graph (“…this graph unearthed by Ezra Klein on the Washington Post”, according to Ms Richmond [I am assuming she needs to be addressed as “Ms”]).
So... I respond: The Holocene (modern human) epoch is 4000 years old.

That is .625 millionths of the age of the earth. Our species will be extraordinarily lucky if we don’t make ourselves extinct in the next 4000 years… certainly past the next ice age. Mother Nature will have all but eradicated evidence of us having been here within 4000 years after that. If my prediction is true, our total dwell time on earth will be about 1.9 millionths of the age of the earth… after we have been erased.
We should note that during the last 3 interglacial (warm) periods, the average high temperatures were higher than in the present (Holocene) interglacial period. Indeed the Klein Graph is so insignificant, that we cannot represent it with a visible line.

Political expediency informs the ignorant that we are overheating the earth. HOWEVER, look at the real trend of our current interglacial period. Real science indicates that the descent into another glacial period has begun.
Let us bring into context the CO2 concentrations of the glacial periods of the last 8K (eight hundred thousand) years. Please note that CO2 concentrations were higher than the present in the Sangamon and in the Yarmouth I and II interglacial periods. (To be sure, mankind was lighting only campfires and the occasional forest fire.)

Despite the misrepresentation of “consensus”, AGW is NOT an accepted theory among REAL scientists.
