did you start a thread specifically to start an argument?? i don't understand what the intention of your post is.... AGW means anti global warming or anthropogenic global warming? i assume the latter from your statements.
i'm honestly confused. no matter what happens each side is never going to believe the other.
personally i think we've egged on climate change and there is no turning back.
extreme weather is going to continue.
some years it won't be so bad and some years it's going to be much worse....
but overall it's going to get worse. i don't think there's anything we can do nowwww.sciencedaily.com...
i was just reading the above article about the acidity of the oceans being worse than ever. probably part of the die off culprit.

After the last ice age peaked about 18,000 years ago, levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide rose about 30 percent. Scientists believe that the additional carbon dioxide -- a heat-trapping greenhouse gas -- played a key role in warming the planet and melting the continental ice sheets. They have long hypothesized that the source of the gas was the deep ocean.
But a new study by a University of Michigan paleoclimatologist and two colleagues suggests that the deep ocean was not an important source of carbon during glacial times. The finding will force researchers to reassess their ideas about the fundamental mechanisms that regulate atmospheric carbon dioxide over long time scales.
A team led by postdoctoral researcher Lisa Welp considered the oxygen atoms contained in the carbon dioxide taken up by plants during photosynthesis. The ratio of two oxygen isotopes in carbon dioxide told researchers how long the CO2 had been in the atmosphere and how fast it had passed through plants. From this, they estimated that the global rate of photosynthesis is about 25 percent faster than thought.
"It's really hard to measure rates of photosynthesis for forests, let alone the entire globe. For a single leaf it's not so hard, you just put it in an instrument chamber and measure the CO2 decreasing in the chamber air," said Welp. "But you can't do that for an entire forest. What we have done is to use a naturally occurring marker in atmospheric CO2 that let us track how often it ended up inside a plant leaf, and from that we estimated the mean global rate of photosynthesis over the last few decades."

oh come on. all i hear from the climate change deniers is that CO2 is good and therefore the scientists are all full of crap. too much water will kill you. too much CO2 kills plants. CO2 is NOT THE ONLY THING that is causing climate change.
that's really all i have to say because the climate change deniers will not EVER believe the scientists that say climate change is real. no matter what is shown to you you'll come back with something else that says it's false information.

we all just have to agree to disagree and in 50 years we'll see.
