Actually, I DID answer that question in post # 60. I can repeat it. The NOAA scientist stated that the earth warmed 2 degrees Fahrenheit from 1880 until this year. So that's 142 years. So divide 2 degrees F by 142 and that equals 0.014 degrees warmed per year.
Also in that article, the NOAA scientist CLEARLY stated that this warming of the earth was DUE TO MAN'S activities (like the internal combustion engine) causing pollutants to act as a blanket in the upper atmosphere.
If someone thinks that these statements are incorrect, they need NOT argue with ME. They should write to the NOAA scientist that wrote the article. Or if they think that they know more than him.......they should ask to be a paid consultant to the NOAA. I am sure that they will let them work from home if they are retired!
The earth's warming that the NOAA scientists have measured is also CONFIRMED by the measurement of the ocean's water level rising over that same period (from 1880). Also CONFIRMED by the dying of coral reefs to the extent that the reefs will be 90% DEAD by 2090. And also confirmed by the increasingly large and strong killer hurricanes happening around the world. Also CONFIRMED by glaciers melting and disappearing worldwide. And here in Florida we are exceptionally susceptible to killer hurricanes like IAN. Which scientists expect to see continue for the next 30 years as the earth and oceans KEEP WARMING.
The Industrial Revolution brought many advantages to the 1st world. Now the WHOLE WORLD must PAY the PRICE for those CO2 pollutants produced by the Industrial Revolution. The earth's climate (or Global Warming) now REQUIRES mankind to find a way to decrease CO2 pollutants. Which some scientists think is too late because of passing a tipping point. Our sons and daughters will live to see that and will be paying the price.
