Climate change

[Milky]

We went over this subject a great deal in 2nd year Sustainability Engineering. It was presented from the point of view of the climate change activists/greenies/whatever you want to label them, but there were some interesting graphs I found during the course:

[Jantar]

The first graph of the pair is the more interesting one. I remember seeing it before but I couldn't find it to post on here. It does show that temperature deviations lead CO2 deviations. Therefore changes to CO2 levels are more likely to be caused by temperature changes than the reverse. However we must remember that while showing a correlation doesn't by necessity show a causation, it can show the opposite.

In this case because CO2 levels follow the temperature changes then CO2 changes cannot of themselves be a cause of temperature change.

Check out the graph on www.venganza.org.

It shows a clear and startling inverse relationship between global warming and the number of pirates.
