Of course these plants are safely encased in a mile of ice, protected from mankind until we melt the whole damn thing.

Yeah, how'd they get the million year mark? Did they count the ice layers? You can have many layers of ice form in a single year. Did they do radiometric dating? That only gives the age of the pulsar or creation of the earth that formed the radioactive element.
How bout some real science, like "the sun affects the climate more than any human activity".

Nailed it lokiare. I wrote a paper about 5 years ago how the Vostok Ice Cores are not a reliable measure of past CO2 levels. In oil and gas we deal with porosity and permeability of rock within a reservoir. There are no underground lakes of rivers of oil, it's all trapped in pores of the rocks and migrates to the surface through natural fractures (all rock is naturally fractured). The same principles apply to ice, it is porous and permeable. The fallacy of ice core readings is that those cores capture and retain exact samples of the environment over an extended period of time. The composition of the ice layers have various rates of porosity and permeability where various gases escape more easily leaving higher and lower concentrations that were the reality. You also mention the arbitrary counting of ice layers and attribution of dating.
Other issues are that CO2 is seasonally lower in winter months when the sacred samples are said to represent the truth, higher precipitation rates "scrub" CO2 (and dust and other gases) from the atmosphere, etc., etc. We find CO2 in ground water as a natural process of "sequestration" in the water cycle.
Totally in agreement, how bout some real science?

It is funny, those climate change alarmist come in barking very loud but when you ask them "When did climate change started?" they shut their mouth and with their tail between their legs they walk away.

Many things can cause climate to change all on its own. Earth's distance from the sun can change. The sun can send out more or less energy. Oceans can change. When a volcano erupts, it can change our climate."

This is what i meant by tsunamis "Oceans can change" oceans can cause climate change retards.

I mispelled it. Sorry that hurt your feelings? So I don't actually "give an argument"? How about facts. There are plants underneath a million year old layer of ice. How did they get there? Was it warmer when those plants grew? Did mankind overheat the planet forcing plant growth a million years ago? Did mankind destroy the climate a million years ago and force the plants under a million year old layer of ice? If we are rapidly melting the polar ice caps, why is there still a million year old layer of ice?
Here's the reality, climate scientists have been stunned when they have found numerous incidents of catastrophic manmade global warming melting glaciers and ice fields to expose ancient forests, savannahs, grasslands, etc. They claim this is proof mankind is destroying the planet. How in hell did these ancient plants grow then get covered by ice? Why then is it shocking that a natural cycle is occurring so that perhaps plants will grow again in the same places? Is the fact that plants can grow again somewhere where they have grown in the past destruction of the planet?
If you are willing to check out the real science instead of the politically settled science you will find that every science disproves manmade climate change. Ask yourself why every settled science solution to the problem involves confiscatory taxes. Then they say even if we do great and soaring things to save the planet it won't make a difference. We can destroy the planet in a handful of years out of 4 plus billion years of existence, yet changing life as we know it won't "fix" the planet. The "plandemic shutdown" had only been in place for a few months when so called scientist announced that the world was instantly cooling back to a perfect temperature and CO2 levels returned to the proper invariable levels of perfect harmony. What? I thought there was nothing we could do? I thought we had gone past the point of no return.
One million species are supposed to go extinct by 2028, surely we should see several hundred thousand extinctions by now, at least tens of thousands, right? Google extinctions. We lost several species of mites and a couple dozen orchid species in Thailand last time I checked, but wait, they also rediscovered dozens of species that were said to have gone extinct. The world is more complex than climate change allows.

Many of the threatened species:
Polar bears are suffering
Mediterranean Monk seal population has gone down 60%
Coral reefs are endangered due to rising temperatures
Bumblebees are endangered because of rising temperatures that force colonies northward. Keep in mind that bees pollenate 80% of crops, if the bees die, we’ll die.
The rising temperature is disrupting whale populations.
The Asian elephants are impacted by lower rainfall and higher temperatures.
Giraffe population has declined by 40%
Most insects will be drastically impacted by the rising temperatures
Oceanic bird species are threatened by rising sea levels.
Sharks have difficulty hunting and a higher embryo mortality rate due to rising temperatures.
Monarch Butterfly populations in California have fallen by 95%
Great apes of Southeast Asia are very threatened by climate change and deforestation.
Pandas, are you know, insanely endangered.
Snow leopards are impacted by rising temperatures
Green sea turtles are very sensitive to temperature changes at all times of their life.
But what about the animals we’ve caused to become extinct due to climate change?
Golden toads were the first verified species to go extinct due to human-caused climate change.
Bramble cay was the first mammal to go extinct due to climate change.
The white lemuroid possum was thought to be extinct because of climate change,, but a few populations were found.

All of these involve factors other than CO2 and manmade climate change. We couldn't stop a tornado, or a hurricane or a drop of rain. The climate is infinitely more powerful than mankind.
For example, bees are dying from a mite infestation. Some mites are one of the main species said to have gone extinct in the last 2 years.
Animals and insects have migrated north and south for millions of years. I've seen core samples of coal seams that have dragonflies and fern leaves taken from north of the Arctic Circle. Everywhere you find oil wells was once under an ancient ocean. Fossil fuels come from ancient algae and other sea plants that died and settled on ancient sea beds, then were covered by sediments. The fallacy of rising sea levels never being this high is misleading. And if it is an eminent crisis, why did Barrack Obama buy a beach front house? Not to mention others who tell us the sea levels will rise to inundate cities in just a few short years.
Coral reefs don't live forever. Where one coral dies, others emerge. We know this from core samples taken in oceanic research.
The world is hurtling through the most hostile environment that exists, outer space, and yet it has managed to support life for billions of years. Everything mankind has done can't compare. It heals itself from asteroid collisions, volcanos and every other natural phenomenon. It also heals from manmade disasters. The Macondo well blowout that was supposed to decimate the Gulf of Mexico for decades dissipated faster than all the experts declared as natural bacteria and other organisms in the ocean thrived on the discharged oil and eliminated it. Oil seeps from the ocean floor all around the world, and nature takes care of it.
The world is more powerful than mankind.

nope not feeling it right now.

"Our 4.54-billion-year-old planet probably experienced its hottest temperatures in its earliest days, when it was still colliding with other rocky debris (planetesimals) careening around the solar system. The heat of these collisions would have kept Earth molten, with top-of-the-atmosphere temperatures upward of 3,600° Fahrenheit.

Even after those first scorching millennia, however, the planet has often been much warmer than it is now. One of the warmest times was during the geologic period known as the Neoproterozoic, between 600 and 800 million years ago. Conditions were also frequently sweltering between 500 million and 250 million years ago. And within the last 100 million years, two major heat spikes occurred: the Cretaceous Hot Greenhouse (about 92 million years ago), and the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (about 56 million years ago)."

No, the polar bear population is not decreasing. In fact in Canada and other areas they are having more negative encounters with the bears due to the increased populations. Polar bears don't live on ice flows, think about this as well, most sea ice is frozen for the entirety of the winter months. The bears need open water to hunt prey.
The pictures used to show a bear desperately clinging to a small iceberg are distortions of reality, they don't need ice burgs to survive. A few years back the World Wildlife Foundation ran a fundraiser showing two scientists in white lab coats standing over a dead Panda, with the premise that people were randomly and senselessly killing Pandas, implying that this was going one almost daily. The fact is, they were two Chinese veterinarians who were preparing to do an autopsy on a Panda that died in a zoo in the 1950's. WWF made a fortune off of not telling the truth, the same scenario is happening with polar bears.
Not to be disparaging, but most people who are convinced of man made climate change live in the most densely populated and most intensely industrialized areas of the US. If I looked at Newark, NJ everyday, I could be persuaded to believe that mankind controls climate. I live in a very rural area, near 5 Wilderness areas and have temperature and weather records kept by members of my family for the last 100 years for the area. I took the time and crunched the numbers and there is no evidence of warming. What is revealed is a range that falls within normal variation. What really clued me in (being a descendant of weather geeks) was that as I travel for my occupation I check weather everywhere I go. If we had this widespread generalized warming, we should see it in record high temperatures. Most of the record highs should be fairly recent, with a heavier distribution in more recent years, but most record highs and lows occurred in 1906 and in the 1930s around the time of the Dust Bowl. According to the USDA 50% of the US was still farmed by horse teams in 1950. 1/3 of farm production was required to feed the livestock used to raise the crops. There was one paved highway from coast to coast, US 6. Most global warming happened before 1950.
CO2 numbers are listed as an absolute, 412 ppm. In the Amazon CO2 can be as high as 3000ppm, on the poles as low as 50 ppm. There is no absolute ideal CO2 number, and scientifically it should be listed in a range, in this worldwide example it would be 50-3000ppm. CO2 varies seasonal
0 ups, 4y
seasonally and in many situations daily from natural sources. OSHA doesn't get worried about workers in CO2 enriched spaces until it gets around 10,000 ppm. Plants require a minimum of 300 ppm just to survive, so 412ppm (the most recent number for worldwide destruction) is barely above the minimum to sustain life. Commercial greenhouses inject 2000 ppm CO2 and more to increase food production, CO2 is essential for life, it is not a poison.
The same concept on range applies to temperatures. Polar temperatures can be around 100 below F. Temperatures in areas of the middle east can be in excess of 120 degrees. So what is the "normal" temperature of the earth? What is the average temperature? It can't scientifically be stated as a single number, like 53.4 degrees, it is always expressed in a range, and no climate scientist likes to be asked what is the normal variation in temperature and CO2 levels. A prominent statistician I worked with told me that for accurate climate models to be created, it requires over a trillion data points to take into account orographic weather and other known variables affecting temperature. We don't have the computing power to do it right now. Urban areas also impact temperature with a phenomenon known as a heat island, pavement and buildings impact temperatures so historic data cannot be accurately compared to modern data. These heat islands also create their own orographic weather, a localized weather pattern. Climate is so complex it can't be minimalized to the extent it has been.
One other tidbit, the Mauna Loa Observatory is the world standard for the CO2 level. It is located on the Mauna Loa Volcano--- which emits CO2. CO2 readings increase before volcanic activity and the Observatory noted higher manmade CO2 readings leading up to a significant volcanic event here a few years ago. They never corrected for that.
Another climate change fact, plants can distinguish between man made an natural CO2 and reject manmade CO2. ?? I spent a couple decades doing gas quality measurements on CO2 levels in Natural Gas, so I know all kinds of useless stuff about CO2. 50 ppm more CO2 isn't destroying the climate.
