Like this kind of research?
https://www.skepticalscience.com/Bob_Carter_arg.htmOr the kind of research in the article?
I thought you were a trained observer, go and look at the data yourself, plot it yourself you will likely arrive at a similar conclusion, global warming is a myth. Sorry I am calling you out on this one, from that presentation find ONE THING that isn't valid...
I have watched enough BS by Professor Carter. No offense, but I'm not going through the whole hour twenty and disprove everything he says when others have already done that. Just for the sake of argument, let's look at the first actual point he makes:
His claim:
"Most of the animals now have been around for more than 6 million years, they are genetically pre-adapted to temperatures that are 2-3 degrees warmer than today. We are led to believe that there will be a biodeversity crisis if the temperatures go up a degree or two. Nobody can believe that who knows anything about the history of life on this planet"
The evidence:
Ocean acidification because of Carbon Dioxide dissolving in seawater will destroy vital parts of the food chain:
$1:
A new paper in Science examines the geologic record for context relating to ocean acidification, a lowering of the pH driven by the increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The research group (twenty-one scientists from nearly as many different universities) reviewed the evidence from past known or suspected intervals of ocean acidification. The work provides perspective on the current trend as well as the potential consequences. They find that the current rate of ocean acidification puts us on a track that, if continued, would likely be unprecedented in last 300 million years.

appears to be
doing. But if the food chain collapses, well, it won't survive starvation.

Those nice little bullet points have ZERO supporting data, all of Carter's data is from the source, he hasn't manufactured anything. I have worked in Geology for over 15 years, it's all about scale and accommodation space, nothing else.
Zero supporting data? Did you click on any of the links under the "Science Says" column? There is very detailed support, from all sorts of peer reviewed sources for what they are using to disprove Professor Carters' claims.
I've worked in Computer Engineering for over 30 years, and I know enough to rely on experts in their field for their expertise. I wouldn't presume to tell a builder how to build a house (even though I've many of the skills needed to do that job), nor would I let said home builder tell me how to secure my home computer. My skills do not relate to anyone elses' and I should not project mine on to them.

~4000 (thousand!) PPM in Cm with 2 degree higher temp..that completely kills the theory that CO2 is causing dangerous warming, oceans didn't boil away, life was beginning to flourish. We are cooling not warming. Carter's presentation I posted, only one of many prominent scientist completely disagree with this 'new religion' of wealth redistribution. All of the charts he presents can be reproduced from the original data set, he hasn't done anything below board.
I didn't watch the whole video, but I assume you are talking about the early formation of the Earth, when CO2 was very high? Do you not see the fallacy there? That was when plants formed, and they spewed oxygen and oxygen breathing life evolved.
He's asking us to believe that life that evolved after those conditions existed will survive those conditions! Currently, OHS guidelines say that breathing protection must be work in areas where concentrations exceed 2000ppm, 3000ppm levels are allowed for no longer than 15 minutes, and levels approaching 15,000ppm are lethal.

Even the IPCC admits this is more about social engineering and wealth redistribution than 'climate change'. All humans have an impact one is pollution but to be so ignorant in the face of empirical (not computer modeled) data that we have a larger impact on climate than our G2 type main sequence star is just plain dishonest.
Where does the IPCC admit that? I find no statement by the IPCC like that. And several studies have show that the sun and
solar activity has absolutely no effect on the climate
that we can observe.
