let see if you get it,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nor…North African Climate Cycles have a unique history that can be traced back millions of years. The cyclic climate pattern of the Sahara is characterized by significant shifts in the strength of the North African Monsoon. When the North African Monsoon is at its strongest annual precipitation and subsequent vegetation in the Sahara region increase, resulting in conditions commonly referred to as the "green Sahara". For a relatively weak North African Monsoon the opposite is true, with decreased annual precipitation and less vegetation resulting in a phase of the Sahara climate cycle known as the "desert Sahara".[1]
Variations in the climate of the Sahara region can at the simplest level be attributed to the changes in insolation due to slow shifts in Earth’s orbital parameters. These parameters include the precession of the equinoxes, obliquity, and eccentricity as put forth by Milankovitch theory.[2] The precession of the equinoxes is regarded as the most important orbital parameter in the formation of the "green Sahara" and "desert Sahara" cycle.
... However, shifts in the insolation cycle are too gradual to cause abrupt climate transitions like those seen at the onset and termination of the African Humid Period all on their own. So to account for these rapid shifts in the climate of the Sahara, several nonlinear feedback mechanisms have been proposed. One of the most common sets of nonlinear feedback mechanisms considered, are vegetation-atmosphere interactions.[17] Computer models looking at vegetation-atmosphere interactions and insolation across North Africa have shown the ability to simulate the rapid transitions between "green Sahara" and "desert Sahara" regimes.[1][18] Thus the results from these models suggest the possible existence of a vegetation-insolation threshold, which if reached, allows the Sahara region to rapidly transition from "green Sahara" to "desert Sahara" and vice versa. ...

"If you’re under 30, you’ve never experienced a cooler-than-average month"
- Pffff what did they that on science? Pffff lolz derp2002
- I never saw chem trails or spraying of the sky also at one point.yurimon
- You are blind2002
- coldest february on record this year. derp_niko
- Global cooling2002
- Bull shit!ETM
- I agree in global warming, but we have had many cooler than average months here.ETM
- Global cooling - evidence provided by one month2002
- no but don't claim: you’ve never experienced a cooler-than-average month_niko

maybe position and rotation of earth, sun, galaxy, universe,
maybe co2 and other gases released into the atmosphere by humans.
anyway, humans and specially the first world (aka us) should agree on not polluting the planet no more. we have alternative, advanced technology at disposition, we should embrace it and keep our consumerism in check.

How about leaving the science to the scientists? Your opinion means nothing.
- But shitty web designer from London knows more2002
- 2002 just scientifically proved he's an asshole. its now fact.yurimon
- shitty web designers unite to take over science!2002
- Damn 2002 your life must really suck to be like this..yurimon
- Poor little chap must have had a bad dayset
- But it makes me feel better that I am neither one of you.2002
- Glad to hear it, something needs to cheer you upset
- To bad. you are missing out, I'm very sexy. I can get laid in nyc of all places without much effort if I choose.yurimon
- ....Well another chance to progressive debate and learn from each other gone to sheyt.yurimon

Plus to all those in the Yes camp, you're adding to the problem by spending your day arguing on the internet and using up electricity made by coal-powered plants ffs.
- I am helping to prevent global cooling2002
- Not everyone is on coal, many places offer green energy if you look for it. Also, a laptop uses the least energy of anything in a typical household.nb
- Arguing against idiots is a great way to use energy.nb
- I guess its engraved so deep in the mind that those who were washed in it feel so defensive even if presented with the agenda, lobbying groups, just cant adjustyurimon
- to the possibility of the politically motivated alarmists deception and side track the core issues of pollution, deforestation.yurimon
- same people dont change their ways but cry out in nihilistic fashion to the drums of the violent state to do something. save us. oh cogs of the machine,yurimon
- how thus you engage in hypocrisy and turn against your brothers. shame you all.yurimon
- hope this concludes another worthless thread ape shit thread..yurimon
- Can I just say that yurimons posts are the becoming the most entertaining thing on this site. Save us, oh cogs of the machine!nb
- it was meant to be dramatic. thanks.yurimon
- however truth overtones,yurimon
