Story highlights The last time carbon dioxide levels were this high, Greenland was mostly green, sea levels were up to 20 meters higher and trees grew on Antarctica, according to scientists who warned this week that there is more CO2 in our atmosphere today than in the past three million years.
Using a new computer simulation, researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research , in Germany, found that the last time the earth's atmosphere had a CO2 concentration as high as today's was during the Pliocene epoch, the geological period 2.6-5.3 million years ago.CO2 emissions from human activities are the leading cause of climate change.
Greenland has been green in recorded history, thus the name. Seriously?
Thus demonstrating that carbon dioxide levels are not driving the climates of Greenland and Antarctica.
Since none of that is happening, the whole global warming freakout is all bullshit, apparently.
C02 makes up a less than one percent of the earths atmosphere which is 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. CO2 is a naturally occurring gas which is natural for all plant and animal life. This climate hysteria scam which you keep pushing has got to stop.
Proving, of course, that CO2 has nothing to do with climate!
Here's the broader, longer view. Enjoy!
Idiots! ClimateChange is cyclical not man made! And it has nothing to do with CO2 either! FakeNews 😂😂😂👇
They are still dangerously low. We are Lucky they didn’t dip beneath 180 ppm, or earth would die. We need more CO2. Not less. It won’t affect the atmosphere. That’s just a lie.
...and mankind was nowhere to be found! Ever hear of plate tectonics and continental drift. EpicFail FakeNews
Do piss off. Come back when you have a credible point to make.
ihave42ofthem Was it people pumping out greenhouse gas back then?
Lol!
hblodget So, what is different this time?
ArcticRoc Dinosaurs 🦖 🦕 are already back in fracking Congress who don’t give a rats 🐀 a** so why should we be surprised?
Clinton news network. How did you tag me?😤
Greenland will once again be green.Good thing for them.
Thanks You just obliterated the agenda of the global climate change (communism) movement
Were you.. were you there?
Stop the FakeNews propaganda to advance communist take over of means of production Totally obvious, disgraceful how you joined this & many other leftist conspiracies You won't be in business much longer as people wake up & cut you off! FAIL FakeNewsMedia
nathancullen Makes humankind look pretty stupid for building entire cities at or below sea level over the last few hundred years, something ancient civilizations didn't seem to have a problem figuring out.
But it wasn't man made 2.6-5.3 million years ago.
Oh! The climate changes but life survives? Hmm.
So there were many, many more trees in the world. Trees produce carbon dioxide. 1+1 = ?
The failure of explaining the hypothesis of “Global Warming/Climate Change” is mind boggling. Course I understand Y! The future predictions R based on past history of the Earth most of which occurred without modern humans. The mark humans has left on this planet will disappear
Hey, while we're here, what temperature should everywhere be?
How many SUV's were in the world when this occurred?
Maybe someone should explain why CO2 is actually bad? Plant need it to convert to oxygen so that mammals can breathe it in and convert it to CO2. There is no downside to this.
2 genders no GlobalWarming
AnaCabrera Haha!! CNN and their global warming alarmists. pls be careful with the hype before even the neutrals, like myself, begin to agree with realDonaldTrump that CNN is fake news.
The co2-level have been 5 times higher and the earth flourished.
This should be part of Homeland Security.
MelissaMelson83 The method of gaining the numbers to a geographic area, millions of years ago, is suspect. Tell us how you reached the numbers as we assume CNN had no one alive at that time.
Science. Who would have thought. And too boot carbon gasbag Al Gore wasn’t around back then either.
😒
So were in good shape?
And this is a 100% political tweet.
Sadiq_Cyrus So we continue to have the conversation on global warming!
KeiserReport And the planet was thriving
I’m not sure but in that time I’m pretty sure Greenland was in a different location on earth. Is that taken into consideration?
We're fjucked
And none of that has been repeated now, Rather knocks your implied 'correlation' on the head, doesn't it?
Climate deniers are the new flat earthers
Oh, you mean before there was man-made climate change?
NanaTamara21 That orange cretin going to brag about it?
It that natural 3 million year cycle. Compressed into 30 years.
How does anyone truly know that? Witnesses? Written records?
But if CO2 was that high, why didn’t the earth end 12 years from that date? I’m confused.
And what caused that to happen all those years ago?
The SUN drives climate changes. NOT co2. FFS, Max, really, you retweeted this shite?
Show us strong scientific data. And then get the world to all do their part. Otherwise you weaken us and enable other countries to take us over and drain us if our natural resources. Isn’t that what happens?
You just admitted that this isn’t our fault , there were no humans beings at that time, so it’s not man made. Thanks
holy moly...as my grandfather used to say to me as a child.. he was a wielder and a farmer in rural Illinois- he had animals, grew produce...he taught me that we must treat nature with empathy.. 😧🐶🌎
who knows what happened 10k years ago, nvm 3m years ago! Please concentrate on the problems of today’s evils like killing a full grown baby in his/her safest place: mom’s womb! that’s a heinous crime worth fighting for😡
Just curious... if CO2 levels were that high 3 million years ago then are the CO2 levels now really caused by humans? 🤔
Bull💩
lmao....you just proved that CO2 isn't controlling the climate! Bwhahahahaha
This seems important....
Wrong. Vikings grew grapes and wheat in greenland
Did you calibrate your measurements. Seems off to me.
Who caused the ice age?
I love trees
And no humans walked the earth, according to scientific research. So what’s your point?
Where is the data from? 3 million years? Ahemmm?
CalDisasters In the 70s it was the threat of ice age...so im calling bullshit on all of it
Here’s a simple 1912 explanation of the science of Co2 emissions: a blanket
courageousgirl2 Yeah but that Kentucky asshat that struggles with inconsistencies in the English language said it would be fine.
Sorry but the anybody else catch this? We don't have those issues today despite high carbon dioxide levels. So what's your beef?
Greenland was NAMED Greenland when it was much “greener” than today ~1,000yrs ago with LOWER CO2 level. And this tree grew about 5,000yrs ago 100km above current frost line in North America. Also with lower CO2 levels.
EPogrebinsky climatechange
Where is the picture🤔
What a bucket of bullshit! Stop telling lies!!! C02 and human behavior has nothing to do with climate change. READ MY LIPS....IT IS ALL ABOUT SOLAR CYCLES. ...and everybody better get for the God to flip the light switch!
This days are gone
I don’t remember that.
So what happened? Climate change killed the trees in Antartica? Who/what caused that climate change 2-5 million yrs ago?
How do measure something from 3 million years ago? Fking CNN crazy talk.
Wait a minute, Green is NOT good?
Here we go again. Start shoveling the Bull 💩.
RedwoodGirl It can get worse 55 million years ago
Oh boy. now pushing paleontological climate theory, what nonsense
When morons claim they know things like this from millions of years ago I literally lmao
Why Meters. I am a Florida man. I will one day have my very own Florida man story.
maggieNYT and dinosaurs roamed the earth but not people ... lets go back to those days
So we are supposed to stop natural cycles of the earth 2.4mm years old Bc algore says so? No thanks
That would be nice again
I’m not worried since the world is ending in 12 years I am just concentrating on having fun and drinking more🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not surprising with Trump at the helm
theplayerthefan
Well CNN you just posted that the climate is all about cycles.
Party down, ‘cuz we be fucked, and it is NOT going to “turn around”. No way. Not with an emerging Asia.
Stop pushing Saudi propaganda. People are starting to realize that most Environmental groups (and most politicians) are funded by Saudi Arabia to hurt our Energy industry. Politicians want to use the Climate Change SCAM to raise TAXES and take away your FREEDOMS. MAGA
Sounds like a much prettier world then we live in now
Als u de nachtopnamen van de aarde ziet , kunt precies zien ,de grote steden en snelwegen enz. De helft minder licht ,energie verbruik, ....... dan krijgt de aarde iets meer tijd om af te koelen !!!! Goed weekend ...
So we’re good. Thanks.
I wonder if the script reading men and women of CNN. MSNBC and like once had a dream to become a 'investigating, truth telling reporter ' or did they give up thier souls for profits?
Quick all you worried folks, pack your bags and go preach in Thailand, India, China, Russia, places that are really polluting the air, American dust mask aren't needed.
maggieNYT Why are you using meters?
Why is Greenland not green? Perhaps the science of linking co2 and climate are wrong
Then why isn’t it green right now? Perhaps the science of co2 and it’s effect on temperature is wrong?
Strangely, life seemed to flourish during times when carbon dioxide levels were higher.
Oh no! We’re all dying tomorrow! (You I.D.I.O.T.S!)
And 5 millions years ago, AOC and the like of the era, got the green freaking deal passed and all went back to normal.
Wait...humans didn’t do that back then?
Whats the point? Mostly green seems better than an ice age!
Planet Earth has thawed, froze, thawed, froze thawed, froze before. What in your no so informed mind were the reason then? Stop spreading scare tactics to help crooked poli. get tax $, under the guise of concern for fake studies, 1 sided reports n nothing will be done.
Who was responsible for climate change back then?
perhaps you should try to get interviews with the heads of the Chinese and Indian governments to get them to do something? 🤔
God help us
Well something is wrong then because it's not green and sea levels aren't up 20 meters
So that pretty much proves the CO2 has nothing to do with it. What will you do now that you've shown how little reality exists in the AGW narrative?
The last time CNN didn't report FAKE NEWS was NEVER!
How do you know the land wasn't just 20 meters lower do you know how plate tectonics work? Maybe that's why we don't see much rise in sea levels cuz the land is still moving up.
Did the use the million year calendar? 🤔
MAKE THE EARTH WARM AGAIN
The next year will also be higher. Every year since the history of earth the atmosphere and climate changes its NORMAL! Plant more trees. Trees use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
I don’t get how y’all are so dumb. Climate change HAPPENS, but this time it is happening SP FAST that we are experiencing THOUSANDS OF YEARS worth of climate change in the span of SEVENTY. The main catalyst of this change is WIDELY agreed upon by science to be human action. Ffs
And Zucker wasn't running CNN...woohoo
Propaganda disguied as 'news' FakeNewsCNN
We're on a collision course and there's no going back.
And there were no humans causing the CO2 levels to be that high then. Makes you wonder if nature is not just repeating itself
Propaganda
But we are closed convinced this is man-made climate change?
So they’re saying we have plenty of time?
And yet there was no industrial revolution yet or internal combustion engines. Could it be cyclical
agitpapa Hhhhh the scientific of my ass
Unfortunately the human race does not care. So I guess everybody is going to sit back and watch it happen. Sad
Proof that even 2.6 million years ago they were driving too much, flying in airplanes too much and allowing flatulent dairy and beef cattle to roam the earth unabated... GreenNewDeal GreenNewFraud
And what was the cause of global warming then?
And yet we’re still here.
michikokakutani The US is living 65 million plus years ago with their MAGA . It has become a dinosaur in it's denial of climate change and so much else. And we know what happened to the dinosaurs.
No.
Once again!!!! You are admitting that “global warming” is BS. It’s not man made, and it’s just a natural cycle the earth goes through.
Which is why we dont habe anything to do with it
This is not statistics, this is actual!
Wait wut? I was taught that this global warming has never happened before. Who were the industrial capitalist polluters 3.5 Million years ago? People....People we got to get our story straight.
Guessing
Will you let RepThomasMassie know? He’s an engineer, he might figure it out.
Cyclic
Climate change before man. Hmmmm.
realDonaldTrump
How are we not all completely terrified?
Hmm so they measured co2 millions of years ago...
JMakamba This is pure fiction
maggieNYT Denmark for the win.
Please CNN keep reporting on the importance of climate change. It will hit us when we least expect it if we don’t start opening people to the greed and cover up of these fossil fuel companies.
So those damned cavemen were polluting 2-5 million years ago as much as we are now?
and that was a bad thing?
Who was measuring the CO2 back then?
I take it CNN hq is within 20m of sea level, cause this sounds like good deal for most.
maggieNYT Judging by the comments here, we’re doomed. We’re just too stupid to live.
How did carbon levels get so high 3 mill yrs ago
sacca Antarctica was also in a different place then correct? When doing these studies. Do they attempt to take in all aspects of? And even then, it's at a therory base combined... So in other words, we probably have more than 12 years yeah?
Thanks for proving the idea that man made “climate change” is a hoax
Garossino So your saying no correlation of co2 to warm weather I guess.
RepThomasMassie sir... you might wanna take a look & learn a few things before questioning JohnKerry & his scientific facts. ✌🏽
maggieNYT WZagieboylo
I’m sure it is really nothing. Right SenMikeLee ?
It was 1,000, now 405, alot lower
We should believe this why? There's literally no factual evidence
Because it’s a natural cycle. Duh!! We are not the cause or solution to it. If we were then who caused it 3million years ago
maggieNYT Gee how much did cows contribute to that I wonder. You are such a farce.
maggieNYT
maggieNYT Shouldn’t we bemoan the loss of trees in Antarctica?
It’s what’s coming. For our grandchildren.
maggieNYT But the Bible says we are only about 5000 years old, how can this be🤷🏼♂️
maggieNYT Care to share your 5.3 million year old sources WWG1WGA
Ridiculous BS
maggieNYT And then people stopped eating meat and reproduce.
chargrille time to panic
maggieNYT O, please .... not another one faking the masses
maggieNYT What was the DJIA at?
Lol. Show me the data?!?
😠
You have just told us Climate Change today is a farce-2.6-5.3 million years ago? We should not be here today!
I hope to see green Greenland in my lifetime. Hopefully not soon after we (Canada) go to war with Denmark to claim Greenland as our own. Make Greenland Canada... again...😐
So if levels are the same why don't we have the same conditions
Hmmm. Trucks and air conditioning existed 3million yrs ago?
Wow! Didn't know we had SUV's 2.6 million years ago.
How can you prove this?
Wrong .
that's a strange statement. There are no records of anything 2.6 - 5.3 millions years ago. In fact your range is 2.5 million year guesstimation
Apparently we only have twelve years left.. so.. why bother.
Ja... en? Maar niets meer doen aan het leegroven van de wereld en het uitroeien van zovele diersoorten!!!
What caused the problem millions of years ago?
Sure lol
Pure BS.
Who measured the carbon levels at that time?
Um, that’s why they called it “GREENland” and Antarctica means “opposite of north”.
And you’re credible after two years of constantly telling viewers Trump colluded with Russia why?
That's amazing. I can't wait to walk around all these new places!
Well none of the dire predictions have come true, which means, c02 doesn’t have much to do with temp and climate change.
More places to vacation coming soon!!
Yeah, the climate changes back and forth every few millions of years. Completely natural. No need to worry about destroying the planet.
How green is Greenland right now
I'd like to see trees there and Greenland green again. Don't see what's wrong with that.
selectedwisdom Wasn't Antarctica in a totally different zip code back then
Bull shit
So the climate is changing already for millions of years. What makes you think that we then can stop that change?
Who was responsible for global warming back then?
It was probably all the cars and factories back then.
Tell me again how humans caused high Co2 levels millions of years ago.
And Al Gore was there to see it.
And it was Republicans' fault then as well
That’s what they want. Deny climate change so they can mine it.
Funny how the narrative has shifted from Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to CO2
What caused the levels to get that high millions of years ago? Perhaps we are going through the same cycle we did 3 million years ago?
I wonder what will say after another 3 million years !! I’ll be waiting
Doesn't this indicate that co2 level has little to do with average temperature? The Arctic ice sheet has grown thicker in the last 20 years.
Fake News
Where in the world did you dig up these FALSE, FAKE and lies about the truth!! What a fairy tail.
You have pictures? Records? Documents?
selectedwisdom Is this how far back chump is reaching for maga? When no one was alive?
This just proves climate change isnt real. It's a cycle. The earth isnt enduring anything it hasn't seen before.
I do my part to not pollute, and drive as little as possible. So as a conservative, I must say..... I DON'T CARE!!!
Reality: The universe & climate is not controlled by man. Guess libs would blame dinosaur farts for the high CO2 at the time. Now they blame cow farts.
BREAKING NEWS: The cycle of the earth is just that....A cycle....Anyone who thinks that we as humans in our current form will forever roam the earth 😳? You are simply lying to yourself. Make the most of your life and enjoy it while it lasts. None of us were promised forever
Cool a new vacation destination! WadeDukes
It’s funny how they make these statements as if they were around 2.6 million years ago and seen this happen before
So climate change is not man made.
Any SUV’s back then or was it totally the cow farts? 🐄💨
Huh? CO2 levels were this high 4 million years ago? But i thought man made CO2 was the culprit
BULL SHIT!
When you lied to the whole world for over 2 years about the Russian collusion, you were probably more accurate then now.
Be afraid people, this is real.
So......all the big industrial complex and man made co2 was responsible for the it all those years ago, yet you're still here to lecture us on our eminent destruction. Funny how only the LunaticLeft and power grabbers are so 'worried' about a ClimateHoax
Ooh boy I hope you guys consulted the indigenous people before reporting on this! You don’t want to invoke the wrath of the “BIPOC” crowd!
Yeah right.
So this happened long before cow farts?🤔
So does that mean 2.6 million years ago the climate change groups took drastic actions and saved the planet? Or were they loosing their shit over the depleting ocean levels?
(65.6 ft)
This is day 4 of the SAME article...is nothing else happening?...
Great news!! Now we don’t have to worry about carbon emissions!! Thanks.
What a crock of B.S.! There's no way they can say that for sure. It's like claiming that space aliens exist. What a laugh!
No matter what happens as far as the climate and the weather, there are those that will benefit by blaming 'man'. Politicians, 'scientists', universities....
CO2 is only 0,033% of atmosphere !!! HOAX is CNN's business !
Fake news network
Pretty sure humans had nothing to do with it back then either. It's just the way the earth works.
I suspect journos and English majors will buy this...engineers etc., not so much.
Welp
If all the ice continues to melt, there will not be much laughter The question will then become, how long can you tread water. If all the ice continues to melt, sea level would rise two hundred feet Then scuba gear will be the order of the day, for everyone you meet.
If only those people 2 million years ago didn't drive all those SUVs and heat their houses...shame on them! Has Pope Al collected their carbon indulgences?
It's also a proven fact trees and polar bears are thriving in 2009 polar bear pop was 35,000 today they are 49,000
Welcome to the future/history
and people lived hundreds of years of age because we had a different atmosphere that protected us from radiation
Yeah .. right. What BS
I am sure millions of years ago it was man who caused global warming. Dam man for destroying the world.
Dont believe it.
And no mankind footprint, amazing!!
So your saying that Al Gore and the Global Warming conspiracy theorists are wrong, that you really don’t have a clue, that climate change is a hoax for money scam. Got it
On the plus side - dinosaurs will replace us.
The last one CNN ratings were high.... there were no cell phones
And all that happened millions of years before industrialization? Huh, go figure 🤔
Nothing more ironic than people that believe the Bible as factual but ignore the geological history of this planet.💆🏻♂️
So we move to Antartica
Who was driving all the cars back the?
Say it louder. 'Climate change is not man-made!'
Damn humans where around 20 million years ago too and where industrialized
Is there more life forms in polar regions or the tropics? Just wondering why warmer is bad. Just saying.
Guess it's time to move to greenland, eh?
So what's your solutions? Elect democrats. Mine? move away from the ocean and harvest Christmas trees at the N. Pole.
Oh crap, that’s my fault, sorry guys
Greenland was almost green and Jim Acosta won a truth award
In the first earth age Greenland and other now frigid areas were green and flourished then then Lord destroyed the wicked and their cities and started over. Looking for Atlantis? Remnants of other un-names places. Separation of continents? We know ✝️
Fear-mongering bs
We only have 12 years to enact legislation...that way we can say the controls we put on people were the reasons the temps NATURALLY started trending down in 12 years!
It is a circle... and there was no cars back then 🤔
I think the only way to figure out this climate change issue is if scientists from both sides of this issue to come together, & put egos aside & work together to figure out what we can do better to prevent harm to our planet. Because our world leaders will never tell us the truth
CO2 makes up only a tiny portion of the atmosphere (0.040%) and constitutes only 3.6% of the greenhouse effect. The atmospheric content of CO2 has increased only 0.008% since emissions began to soar after 1945. CO2 caused man-made global warming is laughable...
Excellent proof that CO2 levels do not cause climate change.
Whoever kept stats back 4 million years ago did a great job preserving them.
summeriscoming
CO2 over 200 ppm adds insifnificant warming due to its IR Band saturation. CO2 isn't a climate control knob.
CNN is lying again. Does CNN they get their scientific 'facts' from Brennan and Clapper?
Sangat menakutkan
So this has happened before, earth's cycle to purge and rebirth no biggie.
And then ice age started and made Greenland white again. Whith gardbage posts like this you diminish real concerns about our impact on environment
Well, since the seas are not 20 meters higher, there are still no trees in the Antarctic, and Greenland still has ice, is Co2 leveles the problem...not to mention, its was called Greenland for a reason, it used to be green.
und dies hatte den selben Grund: Zuviele Autoabgase ! Where have all the Diesels gone - long time ago ?
selectedwisdom
Doesn’t matter to me I’ll be dead before the earth is in trouble
Wait a minute....this happened before....all on it's own.....🤔
ClimateScam
BanVolcanoes
Then why isn’t Greenland green and the Sea Levels up ? Where the trees in Antartica
RepThomasMassie
And yet Greenland isn't green. The ice sheets are still in place. No trees grow in Antarctica. And ocean levels are 20m lower. Hmmm. I think CNN just undermined its own point. tan123 EcoSenseNow ClimateChange
selectedwisdom
So humans don't cause 'Climate Change' then. Interesting
Greenland probably would have been greener if CO2 was higher since plants THRIVE on it AND produce our oxygen. we DEPEND on that CO2 to be converted into O thru PLANTS. you are COMPLETE fools trying to convince us CO2 is a problem AND give the VERY example that proves it's NOT.
Must have been the alien ships causing that CO2.
So CO2 levels were this high before but the effect now is miniscule by comparison? Doesn't that negate the idea that the climate is affected by CO2 levels?
Not America’s Fault,even if it is from 2017 it’s pretty clear where the problems lie
JFC, commenters. Packed ice melts slowly. If we act quickly to reduce CO2, we can avoid this outcome. BUT WE HAVE TO ACT.
BS
Good thing the Flintstones switched to green energy back then to bring those carbon levels ba k down
Then why isn’t Greenland green and sea levels up if there at the same level as they were back then?
For folks showing up to this thread to be climate skeptics - it takes 15-20 years for CO2 emissions to show their effects on the climate. Maybe before getting defensive let’s take a harder look at this issue of, y’know, our path toward human extinction 👀
Trees in Antarctica is a good thing. The Democrats complaint would be , the Penguins could possibly hurt themselves while they're roosting in the trees and upsetting The Monkees. The liberal education actually teaches that penguins are fish that eat nuts and berries. Hahaha
So....it has happened before and the world didn't end within 12 years?
And yet - they’re not today.. 🧐🧐
So 3 million years ago humans produced more pollution than today
Do you have evidence?
That's funny...Fred Flinstone's car emitted no poison of any sort.
Were aliens living here 2.6-5.3 years ago to cause such high carbon dioxide levels? 🤔
Oh no! How much money and freedom do I need to give up to make this all go away?
Its called natural climate change. Sea levels were 1000’s of feet higher thousands of years ago. BEFORE HUMANS!
So humans had nothing to do with the CO2 rise back then, why in the world should I be taxed to cut my CO2 now?
Lol.
What negative thing does this have to do with Trump. Since FNN FAKE NEWS NETWORK CNN knows nothing else to report
In those days Greenland, the only land mass not underwater, was virtually covered with thousands of smoke billowing SUV factories.
Were humans to blame then too?
At that time, modern humans didn't exist yet, but we have our ancestors, precursors of the homo branch, the Australopithecus. They were little men, monkey-like. We can also find some of the first Homo, the Erectus.
Who took the reading?
Wow that's alot of caveman farts
The world is not dying. This religion of climate change is this decade’s fad. The hole in the ozone was the threat in the 70s and 80s. We were all supposed to be dead by now.
Then why aren’t they 20 meters higher now? 🤔
BS
Then where's all the water?
So you going to blame human activity on the last time also? Mother Nature rules. We are her subjects.
so i have beach front property in Arizona now ? cool
Did humans cause it then, too?
If levels are the same why aren’t conditions the same? I can still see Florida.
Please link to a summary of the study taken millions of years ago. Please also include the names of the scientists
Only 11 1/2 yrs left to live so I’m going to see Europe. Thanks for reminding me that our time is up. :-)
So will Greenland turn mostly green again? Okay.
So you’re saying we can soon use Greenland for farming
CNN spews more garage into the air than all pollution combined.
Interesting!
Thanks, China
