We're at extended solar minimum levels, some scientists are predicting another mini ice age very soon. 

Then again, the warmist propagandists have done everything they can to write the last mini ice age out of the weather record.

dax, what are your thoughts on jet fuel's ability to melt steel beams?

Weird post.

I posted earlier today that there were no more normal people who claimed man made climate change wasn't happening. and you said, "oh yeah, same" or whatever. and then someone posted something else and I went back to like yesterday and saw this post and pointed it out because it doesn't seem to jive with your claim that you're now on the non-crazy side. explain your position on man made climate change and what we're experiencing now so I don't assume please.

My opinion is man made climate change isn't having anywhere close to the impact of natural climate variability.   

If you want to believe that additional PPM measured in 100's of an invisible gas is having major impact on global climate then by all means.  I don't.  Relative to man made impact on climate there's far more important things to be concerned about such as: Land use, pesticide us and similar. 

Not all roads lead to AGW. 

On a side note, we're in major tornado and tornadic activity deficit,  which is weird because a post Joplin prognosis was many more tornadoes and an overhaul of the Fukushima scale was needed. 

Side side note:  Research by multiple universities concluded that US Forest Fire activity going back centuries not impacted in any substantive way by climate, but instead vastly more impacted by land use and management.

Side side side note:  The Western US has had droughts that lasted centuries over the course of Earth history.

Dax, re: pesticides, the same guy that is looking to be the EPA guy, that loves some climate denial, also denies pesticides as a cause of health concern.

Dax or the EPA guy?  I was pointing out a diff between dax's post about pesticides and the EPA guys belief according to an article I read yesterday.

A denier who believes in AGW?  Weird.  Great takes fellas, fantastic reading comprehension.

Oh wait, I should have said "colorless and odorless".  Anal retention factor is high in here

If the percentage of CO2 increases from .04 percent to - let's say .06 percent in the next 100 years, how much is that going to increase global temperature? 0.1 degrees Celsius? 1 degree Celsius?

Do we really have any idea (see first post of this thread)?

It seems like we should have a better understanding of how climate will be impacted by increasing a trace atmospheric gas before we impose restrictions on producing that gas that drive up the cost of energy and, well, everything.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Yeah, I'll leave that part to the scientists. Info warrior Dax would rather believe whatever infowars says.

did all of the models predict that 2016 would be the hottest year on record?
