Yet more climate scepticism

Kindly linked by Paul_Ausvotes is this piece of climate change denial nonsense:

"Scarewatch"

I'll let you read through it, though odds are, it will end up in a News Ltd publication near you.

Just wanted to highlight one (of many) issues it has

In fact the rate of warming, at .16C degrees per decade,  was the fastest rate to be sustained for more than a decade in the 160 year record, but exactly the same rate occurred from 1860-1880 and again from 1910-1940, when we could not have possibly have had anything to do with it.




What?

1860-1880 was part of the period described as the Second Industrial revolution, which saw such things as the invention of oil drilling, improving of steel making and the trans-Atlantic steamship service.

1910-1940? 2 World Wars (with the industrial might that was required), the beginning of air travel, widespread use of automobiles, etc, etc.

They really think in these years, when many of the things we take for granted today were nascent and being improved upon, we had no impact on climate change?

Ludicrous.
