Climate change exposes future generations to life-long health harm

Typical tripe from that website. Did you notice this sentence right underneath the graph?:

 

This graphic is used to illustrate the Younger Dryas event – it is not part of the paper discussed below – Anthony

So either the wattsup site is the ultimate source, which makes it valueless, or it's taken from somewhere else that's not identified. Nice try. Actually, come to think of it, it wasn't even that.

I think you are a serial messenger killer. Here's the whole ball of wax that validates canuckamuck's point, which took 10 seconds to find. It goes way back to 500 million years ago.

 

Also note the highly deceptive 5 blocks of decreasing X axis time scales, which try to hide the fact Earth has always been warmer than the recent ice age (3M years).

Once again it's not about change, it's about rate of change. And yes, those blocks are deceptive. They make it look like the rate of change was much steeper than it actually is compared to the last block.

Scientists cannot accurately predict what the weather will be like a month from today.  Yet they can predict what the climate will be 30~100 years from now?

 

Do you see the contradiction?

No contradiction. One is "weather" and the other "climate".

I can't tell you if it will rain in Wigan next Friday but I can tell you January in Sunderland will be cold.

Actually, Tippaporn's claim even fails on its own terms. Currently, 5 day weather predictions are as accurate as were 1 day weather predictions were in 1980.

Advances in weather prediction

"A modern 5-day forecast is as accurate as a 1-day forecast was in 1980, and useful forecasts now reach 9 to 10 days into the future (1). Predictions have improved for a wide range of hazardous weather conditions, including hurricanes, blizzards, flash floods, hail, and tornadoes, with skill emerging in predictions of seasonal conditions."
