Good question. Â*I'd love to have the money to research the thing. Â*I
have a curious
'feeling' that it has a lot to do with the convection cycles of magma
(which we know
little about)and the heat exchange from magma to the ocean.

It has **** all to do with CO2 at any rate.

So why the almost perfect correlation between CO2 levels and global
temperature?

Cherry picking date ranges will do the trick.And everyone is aware that
if this planet gets a little warmer, the sea outgasses some percentage
of CO2.

It loses some of its ability to absorb CO2 as it warms up yes. If the
temperature remains above a certain level, you will get an excess release
of CO2 from the oceans some 800 years later, as the flush out deep ocean
sediment.


Shrug. I have been telling people that this is (global
warming) pure kiddology for two decades. Perhaps the world is catching
up with me again.

Haven't you changed your tune a bit though recently? I'm pretty sure not
so long ago you were denying utterly that any warming was taking place.

Now you've shifted your ground to conceding that it's real, but that it's
some kind of natural phenomenon that you can't explain. And also, that
it's mysteriously disappeared (which you also can't explain).

Same deal here. It is getting COLDER again.

I still don't know how you can say that, given that the top ten hottest
years have all been in the last 12.

That worries me. I want
to see the planet back up to its comfortable 17C average. This is
waaaaaaayyyyyy to close to a major ice age event. And since we don't
have any nukes, it might ge awful nippy in the mornings hey?

Ice ages are caused by major geological events, like the formation of new
mountain ranges, or they're caused by changes in the Earth's orbit, or
extreme variations in solar output. Are you saying that one of these has
occurred and scientists haven't noticed?
