There has only been recording of temperature since the mid 1800's and only since around 1890 what would be considered accurate by today's standard. Unless Thag the caveman somehow invented a thermometer and recorded temps on his cave wall I'm not going to rely on 150 years of temperature on a planet that has been around for only God knows how long (and yes I do believe it's longer than 6000 years, 6017 ) to say whether or not the globe is at hot or cold as it ever has been. Can't be proven.
CO2 is not a threat. How do you think plant life on the planet survives. Each tree on this planet takes in CO2 and then puts out enough O2 for at least 1 person to breathe. CO2 is not a dangerous gas and the acidification of the oceans by it has been proven wrong by several studies. More hysteria. It is a theory and a wrong one.
Stop believing the leftist alarmists like Algore who just want your money.
Science is not done by consensus and there are just as many scientists out there who are not buying it as there are who believe it. Just because you do or do not believe it doesn't make you any smarter or dumber than the other person. The climate is always changing.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration disagrees with your comment about a "myth." Ocean Acidification

Also, 70% is not a chance. It's geographic coverage. Within a defined area (often areas as large as all of central TN), 70% of the area will see the forecasted amount of precipitation. Anything less than 40% is considered negligible.
