Must have been Mammoth farts.
The new paper by researchers in the US, Italy and Sheffield does not wholly answer these questions but shows that carbon dioxide may have led to a rise in temperature in the period studied. However, a rise in temperature also appeared to lead to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This has serious implications for global warming today because it could mean further rises in greenhouse gas concentrations will propel faster temperature rises in “runaway”global warming.
During the periods studied for the paper, the Earth emerged from an ice age and temperatures rose by about 5 C. That is similar to the temperature rise scientists predict could occur if today’s global warming is not kept in check.

In order to get a global warming research grant, you have to demonstrate that you are at least one these three :
- Certifiably insane
- A complete moron
- Have no integrity or ethics
“…carbon dioxide MAY have led to a rise in temperature in the period studied. However, a rise in temperature also appeared to lead to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.”
So a rise in temperature caused a rise in temperature. Got it.
Only theorists could spend so much time and money, and come up with something so meaningless. Why is it so hard for them to become productive members of society?
If there was a law prohibiting opinion, consensus, and climate models, the whole industry would collapse.

And the other ice ages?????????????
milankovitch must have missed the CO2 option
CO2 targets ice ages silly!!
I’d be happier if they could just differentiate between cause and effect.
Don’t forget 4.
4. Someone even more stupid than the researchers to hand out the grant money
No, no, no. They have raised their standards Steven. You must now be all three.
