| Recently we saw RSs talking about CO2 rise 10x that of PETM; but do we have RSs that the <ins>measured temp rise is unprecedented</ins>? Right or wrong I thought CO2 was easier to track in the proxy record than temp itself, and 100-some years is sort of a small window compared to geotime. ] (]) 02:56, 3 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
| :All of your statements are true. However, it's also true to say that the temp rise is unprecedented in some contexts.... for instance the main reason for the ] was that is showed that the current temperature rise was unprecedented in the past 1000ish years. And another reason for being unprecedented is that the temp rise is of previous geological time scale magnitudes, but over substantially less than geological time. FYI, I wasn't really thinking too much about the sourcing and content with my edit, just wanted to make it flow better with the same content (before the edit of the probably sock at any rate), but without the poor ].

| |- | |||
| I agree it is "very awkwardly written", (but that's easily solved). However, I'm not sure what you mean by "no/primary source". The source is quoted, so there is not "no source". Yes, a secondary source would be better, but why is quoting a primary source sufficient reason for removal? Just asking. Cheers, ] (]) 01:26, 19 February 2013 (UTC) | |||

| :Sure I'd be happy to expand on my summary. I wrote "no/primary" because it was lacking the inline citation (i.e. the no) and primary because based on the text in the paragraph it was sourced to a memoir. But you already figured that out I think. :) | |||

| :I considered rewriting, but I felt uncomfortable with the sourcing because it was basically hearsay: Churchill's doctor claimed Churchill said the atomic bomb was a message to Stalin. That is a rather important statement, supporting the controversial thesis that the bombings were more of a message to Stalin than a means of ending the war. Was this Churchill's main sentiment or something additional to the war-ending necessity? A primary source wouldn't provide that answer, but a secondary text evaluating the historical context would. It's a bit of borderline case by my reading of ], but it seems like there ought to be better secondary sources for that sort of thing available, like a textbook I used for a history class way back when: or another book with the same title that seems pretty relevant . ] (]) 02:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
