CO2 driven cooling

CO2 – or the lack thereof – now causes glaciation. Apparently able to destroy entire continents with the twist of a knob

“From the University of New Hampshire  and the department of“CO2 controls everything with a single big red knob” (as stated in the article) comes this modeling inanity,” meteorologist Anthony Watts.

The UNH climate modelers have now (supposedly) shown that the most likely explanation for the initiation of Antarctic glaciation 34 million years ago was decreased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels.

“Never mind that after the continental breakup the continent of Antarctica is now on the bottom of the world and gets dark for months and super cold,nooooo, it’s CO2 wot dun it,” says Watts. “Climate models can’t even get the present right,  so I have serious doubts they’ll get 34 million years ago, where we have far less data, right either.”

“CO2-driven cooling initiated the ice sheet and that this altered ocean circulation,” says Laurel. “CO2 DRIVEN COOLING??????????????”
