The greenhouse effect is not some sort of new “phenomenon”. It was first theorized in the early 1800’s and the specific gases were theorized later in the 1800’s. Who was funding leftist whacko agendas in the 19th century??

It’s well documented that many of the historic weather stations don’t exist anymore, and they continue to report “estimates” based an historical data

The ones that do still exist were built back in day, outside of built up areas,,,,,,today they are surrounded by concrete/asphalt/ urban sprawl. Giving distorted temps

Recently it was in the headlines that Las Vegas recorded the highest recorded temperature ever,,,blew past previous records

For years the weather station was at the end of the runway in the sand/desert. The airport expanded, and surrounded the station with black asphalt,,,,

I'm not sure what you are showing here... but its easy to just draw a graph with no reference or source.

Yes, we have altered the landscape, but negative or positive depends on your perspective.

Modern agriculture has probably altered the landscape as much as anything. Folks who frequenty go to grocery stores for an incredibly diverse selection of affordable food would consider it a positive.

We have altered the landscape with transportation and utility corridors all across the country. Those of us who travel anywhere we want forr work or pleasure, or flick a light switch, or set a thermostat, consider it a positive.

I could go on........

If this has caused the planet to warm somewhat perhaps the benefits outweigh the cost.

The miniscule increase in Co2 is for a fact beneficial to growing food, still just a theory as part of global warming.

Fear of change is something a lot of folks grapple with, some of us, not so much.

I think this is a fair point. I’m not personally convinced we’re at catastrophic levels of change, but there are plenty of negative impacts to be considered. The first that comes to mind is our lack of safe ice to fish on the last half decade. I’d sure love to get that back regularly.

That kind of makes my point Leroy. Is safe ice for fishing, even if you could assure it, worth reversing the positive gains achieved during the industrial age. Contrary to what the Climate folks would tell you, the impacts of the industrial revolution will not be reversed by building a few windmills or changing all your light bulbs to LED. That is the real inconvenient truth.

while we were in Finland in March, we drove a dogsled down a frozen river.

hop a plane and go ice fishing.

Nothing wrong with wanting to ice fish. You can take a lap, white.

No ice for me ......hate cold .....love the hot desert and the transition to cooler mountain tops

So a warmer climate would be a blessing

Trumps EPA just eliminated Obama's climate change regulations.

Time to take the shackles off our companies!

What, now the worlds going to end tomorrow.

I'm sure the climate nuts will take it to court.

I like his reporting. What the report he did on Wikipedia

If the world ends, I’m gonna say “told ya so”. Fair?

Did not read all the info placed here for such a question, however my opinion of green house effect is it's a ridiculous stab at getting attention for something no one can control or even guess what it affects at any one time !!

There are more volcano's going off now than have been done so in the last 30 years or so and no one is regarding that as a dismal salute to our future, and they throw off more ugly stuff in just a burb than our world can do in 100 years !

So if one is worried about Co2 and green house they sure have not done much research about how this world got so far in age with all them volcanos going off all over, some one or some how there is natural cleansing going on all the time to keep this green and blue planet going !!

Grit - the natural greenhouse gas effect was first proposed in 1824. The specific gases causing it were identified about 50 years later. 19th century scientists, no bias just pure curiosity and testing.

Again, it’s a real thing but not as severe as we’re led to believe.

There’s also these things called “plants” that pull CO2 from the air (or cleansing, so to speak) and use it during photosynthesis for plant growth.
