Violates NPOV. I support AGW theory but this is too much. Currently cleaning up. --Scientist 19:02, 26 September 2007 (EDT)

Brief rewrite completed. I'm going to adopt this page and attempt to improve it. I shall begin plotting some graphs of temperature over the past 400,000 years using data from Vostok. --Scientist 19:22, 26 September 2007 (EDT)

Whoa, thank you, Scientist. It was pretty over the top before. Also a technical note, there is no NPOV policy here, but I think you did the right (heh, punny) thing here. HelpJazz 19:24, 26 September 2007 (EDT)
No problem. I'm going to add a few lines around the middle summarising what AGW theory says; I hope that it doesn't appear too liberal once it's done.
I may be a liberal but I know that Conservapedia is, obviously, dominated by conservatives.

I forgot about Creationist beliefs, so I put in 'tens of thousands of years'. This has been edited by TK on the basis that this length of time cannot be proven.

This leaves me in a tricky situation regarding the graph. The data goes back 400k years going by the time-scale scientists believe; however, in 6,000 years there has not been even one full climate cycle.

Any idea what I should do now? I could remove the time-scale from the graph.

Eh, I'm not really sure. The best thing to do would be to present the timescale as the opinion of some scientists, and not as fact, I guess. I didn't really expect that YEC would make arguing against AGW harder... TK, any suggestions? HelpJazz 10:32, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
