We are putting almost 50billion tonnes of CO2 in the atmosphere every year. "Nature" puts around 300-500 million tonnes every year in the atmosphere on average. A super volcanoe eruption puts around 2-3 billion tonnes of CO2 in the atmosphere. So we are as bad as 20 super volcanoe eruptions every year.

By what magic? We've looked at everything natural and nothing has significantly changed in the past 100 years. Nothing except human industrialization, CO2 levels and global temperatures.
Sun activity has been looked at again and again and there's no correlation. Volcanoes haven't increased in the apocalyptic fashion you'd need for this unprecendented change and so on.
CO2 makes planets warmer, we keep pumping it out, the planet gets warmer. It's not rocket science if you just look at the energy the earth takes in and puts out. Specific details of where it gets hotter and when and how are extremely complicated. But the fundamental mechanic is super fucking easy to understand.

Don't fall for this dumb rhethoric. At first they claim there is no change, then they concede that there is change, but it's not dangerous because change has always happened (before humans ever settled down in cities), then they concede that it is dangerous, but it's not caused by humans and some bullshit instead. Then you go through everything and they concede that it is caused by humans. Then they tell you that there's nothing to be done because otherwise china will take over the world and green tech is a technological dead end that just makes stuff expensive.
Please don't fall for any of these. Just accept that shit has to change for humans to still live comfortably on this planet.

Well, it'd be very difficult to predict the actual numbers of soldiers lost in a war on a given battle but it's possible to follow various trends in the respective countries such as economy, production, training, relations, etc that can provide very good insight in which side would win in the end.
In some ways predicting further into the future could potentially be easier as it wouldn't need to take into account every single granular issue, but then again it requires that the current trends remain relatively constant. I'm no specialist.
If your point is that the meteorologists could be wrong, you're totally right. That said, I'm privy to lend an ear to what they're saying but you won't see me latching onto every word they say.
I mean, wasn't California predicted for a devastating earthquake back in the day? Just because it hasn't happened within their given time frame doesn't mean it won't since that's inherent to living on top of a faultline. Same thing here, are we all going to roast to death while NY is submerged within fifty years?

You have one good point: that long-term trends can sometimes be treated separately from daily fluctuations and one-time events. But that is a really weak defense of global warming alarmism, which has been consistently deceptive (think: "hockey stick graph") and consistently wrong, again and again, in its long-term predictions for decades.

Mm, my angle was going for a "seemingly unrelated information could lead to a possible prognosis", but if you're saying just data -- straight, raw data --, yeah, you're right.
>And the same way the guy reading animals guts predicting of a great tempest every morning is bound to eventually get it right.
I can't say for myself how they came up with it, but it wouldn't be as far-fetched as guts-to-weather. It's a faultline that's been halted, we can already glean information from that. If a rubberband is straining to prevent a door from closing, we can take into account the weight of the door, the force exerted, the elasticity of the band, current damage to the band, and how much time has already elapsed to at the very least ballpark when it will eventually snap. Yes, they happened to be wrong, but the point is I wouldn't discount the entirety of what they have to offer when there is in fact information present that made coming to such a conclusion possible in the first place.
>Ok, but that's off-topic.

>global warming alarmism
Ah, if you're referring specifically for that, I'm not up for that. I personally believe that humans have made an impact that have contributed to our current conditions, but I can't and won't speak for those more well-informed than I that we are on a dead-set path to climate crisis. However, I also believe there's nothing wrong in seeking cleaner sources. No need for a world revolution that will uproot decades of infrastructure, but more groundswell than none would be nice.

That’s a false equivalence. First off you are comparing weather to climate which is the first mistake every denier makes. Secondly, this isn’t just an issue of “predicting whether or not it will rain on March 3rd, 2025”; this is an issue of analyzing the climate cycle of thousands of years past, and using that data to predict what our climate should be like now and how it should be in the future

You don’t seem to be a very bright person

>> No.10497015

Increased CO2 output -> greater concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere
Scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere -> energy intensive -> chemically non-spontaneous process (only occurs in nature during photosynthesis)
CO2 is a greenhouse gas == absorbs heat from the sun
planet absorbing heat -> global warming

This is very straightforward and easy to understand. Granted, it's more complicated in detail but that's the big picture and the correlation is undeniable. Where's the hoax?

>NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) project has revealed Greenland’s Jakobshavn Glacier, the island’s biggest, is actually growing, at least at its edge. In research published Monday in Nature Geoscience, researchers report that since 2016, Jakobshavn’s ice has thickened slightly, thanks to relatively cool ocean waters at its base—which have caused the glacier to slow down its melt. This reverses the glacier’s 20-year trend of thinning and retreating. But because of what else is happening on the ice sheet, and the overall climate outlook, that’s not necessarily a good thing for global sea level.

>That's because, despite the fact that this particular glacier is growing, the whole Greenland ice sheet is still losing lots and lots of ice. Jakobshavn drains only about seven percent of the entire ice sheet, so even if it were growing robustly, mass loss from the rest of the ice sheet would outweigh its slight expansion.

well actually it is important to determine, precisely because if the recent heating was not caused by humans then nothing we do to "cut back" on our carbon output would have any effect on the heating and thus we would either be completely fucked or in need of a radically different approach

however, all of the evidence shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide gas is responsible for the recent heating, and we are dumping incredible quantities into the atmosphere yearly, so intervention in the form of fixing our behaviour and attempting to re-uptake carbon would be effective in slowing the heating

Nope. Climate change is just the fact that the climate changes over time. Anthropogenic climate change could be called a theory if you’d really like to, and the primary forcing of anthropogenic climate change is CO2, a greenhouse gas that we expect to raise temperature, and it does.

the whole apocalyptic shitshow about muh climate change is retarded because the actual science is extremely interesting.
just a few days ago I read a paper about how they tried to approximate the co2 billions of years ago by micro organisms that already lived back then. or geocarb where they try to fit the few data points we have from chemical analysis with a sophisticated model. interesting enough both came to absolutely varying results. but shows the problem
>spatial and temporal empirical data from the past are hard to come by
>good measurements of the whole planet only for a few decades
>a system the size of a planet with billions if not trillions of sub systems and variables

basically our knowledge is minuscule and still people are talking about causality like its fucking law handed down by God. it's beyond me how you could possible make policies based on this. and it distract from the actual thing we could do: clean and save the environment. stop the chinese from eating everything single animal they can get their hands on, etc etc.

like those faggy kids that were "striking for climate". why didnt they go to the local river and gathered all the trash and removed invasive species? planted some trees? or built habitats for wild bees and bird? anything useful, but no they stood around for 2 hours and then went to mc donalds.

A super volcano also releases high altitude dust and sulfur dioxide gas, both of which reflect visible and infrared light before it reaches the ground, resulting in cooling. Humans on the other hand emit mostly CO2 and only a very very tiny amount of SO2 relative to the CO2 release, meaning the warming effect of CO2 completely overwhelms the relatively small release of SO2 most of which never even gets high enough in the atmosphere to be effective at reflecting heat anyway.

Let's say manmade climate change is real, what's your goal or plan to change it?

Out of all the "minds" in the world, how many of them do you think are working on "the problem"?

also, you are aware that people are actually what is causing the problem, right?

They don't even know if the Earth is warming up or cooling down, but they KNOW FOR SURE that it's our fault and we have to PAY (them) to fix it!!

Global warming is the biggest fraud perpetrated on the western world since Christianity.

I think it's not so much that we're spewing CO2 and other gases as much as it is we're chopping down the trees and other things that used to absorb and convert said gases.
We've chopped down something like 50% of the earths forestry in the last 100 years, and are actively killing the sea algea too. We're going to kill ourselves unless we can CRISPR those algae into being more productive and trees to produce more lichen. Also godamn just plant more trees anyway.

>Releasing modified biological entities into the wild
If we ever do that it will be out of desperation, history has shown us that introducing new species to the environment can be catastrophical, even getting rid of some species could also damage the environmental equilibrium
