New EPA head Scott Pruitt rejects CO2 as primary cause of global warming

[LaDexter]

Why does one Earth polar circle, the Antarctic, have 9 times the ice of the other?


If you cannot answer that question, you know precisely nothing about Earth climate change.

As I have often asked, why do those who buy that product not simply do their duty to humanity and stop exhaling all their carbon dioxide?

What? All those decomposing bodies would increase CO2 levels.

Because the arctic has only sea ice and Antarctica has glaciers among other factors.

It has little to do with AGW.

If it isn't, then what is? Regardless of the answer to that question, it is a contributor. If not, Pruitt needs to explain what happens to the energy CO2 absorbs and why the increase in CO2 seen since the advent of the Industrial Revolution wouldn't also increase absorbed energy.

Seroiusly? You're fucking kidding, right??

LMFAO!!!!

No glaciers on Greenland in the Arctic Circle???

LOL!!!!

You know NOTHING about Earth climate change... can't even answer the first question correctly...

LOL!!!

The head of the EPA hates women and minorities?

Holy shit.

It's not even A FACTOR. CO2 based AGW only exists in computer models based on manipulated data and flawed theories.

Most people KNOW NOTHING about Science.

• CO2 has zero translational IR properties.
• It is only a trace gas, and only makes up 0.04 percent of our atmosphere.
• We are actually in what is called a CO2 Desert and CO2 is at one of the lowest levels ever in Earth's Geologic History.
• This is why we have Large and Vast Deserts, Ice Caps & Large Areas near the poles which are uninhabitable essentially.
• There have only been two other time periods in Earth's history where CO2 was this low. Both were Ice Ages.
• We are technically in an Ice Age still.
• Decreases in CO2 follows drops in global climate and do not proceed it.
• The primary driver of changes in global temperature is solar maximums and minimums.
• We currently have a CO2 level around 400 PPS. Life has thrived all over the scale at various concentrations of CO2 but is most abundant and diverse at higher levels. The Carboniferous showed levels at 2,500 PPS, The Jurassic at 3,000 PPS, Cretaceous 2,800 PPS. Currently we sit at 400 PPS

During the summer the arctic ice cap is not connected to the land based glaciers.

So obviously you don't know the answer to your own question, so it is you who know nothing about climate change.

Not surprising coming from a denier.

The last time there was this much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist.
Megatoothed sharks prowled the oceans, the world's seas were up to 100 feet higher than they are today, and the global average surface temperature was up to 11°F warmer than it is now.

As we near the record for the highest CO2 concentration in human history — 400 parts per million —
climate scientists worry about where we were then, and where we're rapidly headed now.

According to data gathered at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, the 400 ppm mark may briefly be exceeded this month, when CO2 typically hits a seasonal peak in the Northern Hemisphere, although it is more likely to take a couple more years until it stays above that threshold, according to Ralph Keeling, a researcher at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
The Last Time CO2 Was This High, Humans Didn’t Exist

So what is so bad about having Megatooth Sharks and the world's seas 100 feet higher?
More inland construction it sounds like for me in Florida!
Wow the Gulf of Mexico will be right out my back porch! GREAT!!!

This particular parrot/sub human still won't answer the question - why does one Earth polar circle have 9 times the ice of the other.

Instead... we get what???

Let's check the summer minimum ice map for the Arctic....




Sorry, the sea ice and Greenland still merge....



here it is today vs. "norm"

If there is Ice on The Earth we are in an ICE AGE.
We are currently around 400 PPS CO2.
We need around 1,000-1,500 to make the deserts bloom again, and to make the Northern Climates habitable again, and to moderate our seasons so that they are not as severe in fluctuations of temperatures.

But it's not CO2 that warms the Earth, it is Solar Maximums and we have not had one for a very very long time. We have been in a Solar Minimum for about 10,000 years.

CO2 increases during Solar Maximums because of an increase in plant life and a lengthening of the growing seasons. The Plants then feed on the CO2 and produce more fruit and foliage which then produces more food and pumps more Oxygen in the Air.

Because it's a continent, dumbass.
The ice is sitting on a landmass and not floating in warming water. It is losing ice as well.

Antarctic Sea Ice Has Not Shrunk In 100 Years
Antarctic sea ice had barely changed from where it was 100 years ago, scientists have discovered, after pouring over the logbooks of great polar explorers such as Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton. Experts were concerned that ice at the South Pole had declined significantly since the 1950s, which they feared was driven by man-made climate change. But new analysis suggests that conditions are now virtually identical to when the Terra Nova and Endurance sailed to the continent in the early 1900s, indicating that declines are part of a natural cycle and not the result of global warming. –Sarah Knapton, The Daily Telegraph, 24 November 2016

The ice is sitting on a landmass and not floating in warming water. It is losing ice as well.

A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.
According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001.
That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.

TREE:

Your post is so full of inaccuracies that I cannot tell if you are supporting AGW, or mocking it. The only thing you got right is that Humans did not Exist.

Please tell us what period or ERA CO2 was this high.
And then please back up your claim that this is some kind of record.

I will even help you. There have been only two other times in Earth's History where CO2 was this LOW. Both were Ice Ages, and we are currently in an ICE AGE.

There is your head start. Now go do some REAL RESEARCH.

Great.
What's the change over the nearly decade since 2008?
