Re. the Red Deer Advocate editorial on Tuesday, Aug. 3: Turning up the heat
If one looks at a time and quantum-scaled chart graphing human population growth, car growth, energy growth, garbage output, stock market activity, crop growth, water consumption, CO2 increase and temp rise, the correlation between them is highly suspect and almost identical.
Whether such is attributable to CO2 increase alone is an unknown and there are perhaps other factors involved.
But the rate and the unprecedented in 10,000 years temperature increase points to a “human” factor involved in the almost one degree Celsius rise since the 20th century.
Even naysayers who purport science to be on their side have still yet to explain the discrepancy in the “direct” correlation between these factors and these are not the only factors as chart almost any aspect of human “development” and the correlation and increase coincides, giving more or less conclusive and direct evidence that there is a human factor of some sort involved in the dramatic temp increase and rate thereof. So stop and move on to the more constructive and necessary task of identifying such.
