Climate skeptics have new favorite graph; it shows the opposite of what they claim | It actually makes the case that CO₂ is the dominant control on Earth’s temperature

These people don't read shit. They just recycle whatever an influential Conservative posts.
Years ago, there were a ton of them posting this academic article that claimed to debunk the statistic that something like 92% of all academic articles on climate showed that man-made problems were causing global warming. All the fucking shitfucks posted a link to the article with some bullshit along the lines of 'SEE EVEN SCIENTISTS SAY IT ISN'T REAL LOL LIBTARDS!!!!'
Turns out the article was only asserting that something like 89% of the aforementioned articles showed anthropogenic global warming. Not a single one of the fucking idiots who posted the article as some sort of rebuttal even bothered reading the damn thing.

And the other 8% were shilling for fossil-fuel companies-- most of them knowingly.
It's just the "if those kids could read they'd be so mad" meme in another format.
Don't bother arguing with bullshitters. They'll just change the goalposts.
This is not a debate. This is a matter of power. We need to shut down the fossil-fuel extractors before they kill even more of us.
"is the dominant control".. what? Is this a typo?
You should read the article/paper. Yes, CO2 is the main driver of temperature over geological timescales. Not anything new really outside of more confirmation. But the really important part is how denialists (I refuse to call them skeptics, that implies they're thinking about it) are using such graphs out of context and hacked up to say that it was warmer before, so no big deal.
It is absolutely a big deal, as when it was warmer lots of other variables of the environment were different and the species at the time had adapted to that heat. The species alive today can't live in that type of climate, and the rate of change, the most important thing, is so fast this time nothing large will have time to adapt. That includes us. And honestly with the rate of change and all the feedbacks possible, we could push Earth into a hothouse scenario that might be far past any regression to cooler millions of years from now. So sorry, future life, sucks for you.
"You just sound like one of those alarmists."
Dude, everyone should be alarmed. The house is on fire, there's no firemen coming to put it out, and we can't leave.
I mean, they typed it in the headline and the description of the article.
Hmm, my bad, ESL
Nope, just English.
