Unprecedented = something we haven't seen before, unlike anything from
former experience, even, it could be said, "utterly unlike any previous
change".

You really are talking ********.

To me it means "something that has not *happened* before".

And yet it is neither unprecedented nor is it "unlike any previous
change."

You really are talking ********.

Of course I am, and we're all doomed.

No, it is *far* from a "stupid assertion". It is, in fact, an
assertion made by every single reputable climate scientist in the
entire planet.

Name them.

Even *you* cannot be seriously asking that...

Name any one such statistician. That does not get paid by the
petrochemical industry.

No, you just seem to be having problems with the fact that English is
my primary language. "Utter unlike" means it is not the same as it was
in the past.

I have posted then twice in this thread. I am not wasting my time
posting them again.

I rather thought not. When challenged you do seem to try to hide.

Refusing to repost a URL that I have posted twice before to this
thread in the previous two days is "hiding" is it? What a
pathetically weak argument.

Then post it. Give me a laugh at it too.

Name any one suporter of "hockey stick" graphs that doesn't get a payoff
from their support. Climnate change is avery nice industry to be in for
many individuals.

What do you claim is laughable about the Vostok ice data graphs?
