global warming is real? man, we fucked up not signing paris accords. ive learned my lesson now, i hate trump
Christopher King
>Oh cool, plant more trees Hans I will, I have planted hundreds of trees myself already and will continue to. I also do not drive a car and if I buy one in the next years, I will buy an e-car. What have you done to bankrupt Saudi Arabia?
Jason Roberts
>Saudi Arabia goes bankrupt and radical Islam goes away with them.
Radical Islam will remain unless A. More Middle Eastern Dictators are reinstalled to wrangle the incredibly diverse populations there or B. The Ottoman Empire returns to do the same.
And that's just for curtailing it in the ME, this will be a permanent feature of Europe for the rest of technical civilization.
The only actions we can take is to switch fully to Nuclear and begin infrastructure hardening including the introduction of hardier food crop species and more efficient indoor cooling systems.
Jason Johnson
Saudi Arabia sponsors 95% of the radical Islamists worldwide. You really think that if they go bankrupt then radical Islam will ever be the same again?
People truly don't remember what it was like before Saudi Arabia started sponsoring worldwide jihad in the 1980s, do they?
Matthew Hall
the situation is in many ways worse than what it used to be only a decade ago. Take a look at the ice sheets for example:
10 or 20 years ago, both the Greenland ice sheet and the Antarctic ice sheet were considered to be highly stable, which was consistent with what we knew about paleoclimate at the time, as well as the climate modeling efforts.
That view has essentially completely imploded by now. It has been recognized by now that many ice sheets exhibit threshold behavior and can enter into an irreversible decline, past a point of sufficient forcing.
In fact, it's uncontroversial among glaciologists and climatologists to say that a irreversible runaway melting has already been triggered for the West Antarctic ice sheet (equivalent to 3.3m of SLR).
And that is now consistent with the paleoclimate record, which shows sea level to be significantly higher for times that were only slightly warmer than today, and climate modeling, which shows GrIS, WAIS and more mobile portions of the vast East Antarctic ice sheet to be very vulnerable to the melting process.
Lucas Watson
>manmade climate change is real Naturally occurring, cyclical climate change is also real. Scientists have estimated Earth temperatures well before humans were civilized, and the Earth has been hotter than present before only to cool into an ice age. The planet is equipped with feedback mechanisms that self regulate temperatures naturally, assuming we don't destroy them (ex: vegetation). >we must act Eventually, maybe, if we push it harder than the planet's feedback mechanisms can handle. But you need to understand that exaggerated climate change alarmism is a multi-billion-dollar industry that is trying to hit the trillion mark. The predictive models the media hypes always spell doom in decades and are forgotten by the time doom was advertised to arrive.
So basically stop panicking over virtually nothing and plant more fucking trees, Hans.
Ian Walker
No, it'll probably splinter regionally as the network of Wahbbi teachers and leadership falls away, leading to even more sectarian strife.
And I do, and it was a world where save for the OPEC Embargo and the Yom Kippur War it was mostly irrelevant to the day to day. Even the first waves of terrorism stemmed from Shia's initially before being supplanted by Saudi sourced fun.
Cite?
Ian Moore
Have you ever considered the possibility that the ice would melt even if humans had never existed?
Carter Turner
What we care about is the fact that they're melting while we still exist and how that may affect how we exist. I for one like existing and I certainly want to know how to prepare for any change this may cause to my existence.
What the hell will this do to my existence?
Ayden Price
>We must act I agree. How about we sterilize all populations with a birthrate above replacement? How about we forcefully decentralize and kill the cosmopolitan leftist trash that would refuse?
Nicholas Nguyen
>1880 2010 >he doesn't even know about kilankovitch cycle
Blake Gonzalez
Further more, instead of feeding all our defectives, that food ought to be turned into compost so that we can plant more trees.
Jeremiah Foster
this man knows - listen to him
Nolan Miller
>cite? what? it simply wouldn't, because temperatures before the industrialization were driven by insolation in boreal mid-latitudes, which were in a decline ever since the Holocene hypsithermal. So in a world with no humans, the global ice sheets would be in mass-balance in the short-term and slowly expanding in the long-term, not lose ~400 Gigatons of mass every year.
Gavin Wilson
...
Mason Watson
>How about we sterilize all populations with a birthrate above replacement? I am 100% for this. Africa and India are massive problems. We should pay each woman who gets a sterilization there a lot of money. Let them have 1 kid and that is it. Like China did it.
Noah Perez
>We should pay each woman who gets a sterilization there a lot of money. No, we shouldn't. The payment is her getting to stay alive. Why waste money that could be used to plant more trees?
Wyatt Wood
I thought you were pro-everybody
Adrian Myers
Closed-System paradigm is ending.
Assumptions about solar output being static are now known to be false. Muh greenhouse is bullshit.
Parker Cruz
No source on your graph.
Liam Ross
We need to sterialize around 400 million women in Africa and India. This will prevent around 2 billion births in the next 30 years and make the world population sustainable.
This will cost around 400 billion dollars (costs of procedures and costs of incentives).
Not paying is what we tried in the last 50 years with the result that the African population has increased from 300 million to 1.4 billion and India from 500 million to 1.5 billion.
Mason Gomez
>look man, this graph clearly shows how two data sets correlate. >it's real
>>look man, this graph clearly shows how two data sets correlate. It is temperature readings, there aren't two data sets. You stupid?
Parker Martinez
I agree that even naturally occurring climate change can be a problem; attributing blame is borderline irrelevant. But the solution might be adapting to the new climate instead of going broke trying to prevent it.
As I already said, severity is widely exaggerated by climate change alarmism. We aren't talking apocalypse here. Maybe some coastal cities become Venice. Get a boat, Hans.
Gavin Young
>Implying temperature changes given in Celsius degrees is not data Holy shit user....
Chase Martin
"Adapting", instead of preventing would doom most of human civilization. It would essentially mean PETM 2.0, with CO2 concentrations that haven't been seen since the Eocene, a forcing of 8.5 W/m2, radical ice sheet collapse (possibly even an ice-free planet in the long run) and corresponding accelerating sea level rise. This could knock crucial aspects of the Earth system (ENSO, the South-Asia monsoon, the "three Atmospheric cell configuration", ...) into completely different states and you could essentially wave the biosphere as it existed for the last 66 million years goodbye.
If you want the bottom line of >100 years of paleoclimatology in two sentences, it's this:
(1) CO2 is the principal control knob of the planetary climate and (2) The climate determines the fate of the Biosphere
Angel Walker
>Not paying is what we tried in the last 50 years with the result that the African population has increased from 300 million to 1.4 billion and India from 500 million to 1.5 billion. They're getting paid quite a lot, user. It's called aid. The time to give populations that have proven incapable to care about the environment anything but a quick death is over.
You clearly don't care enough about the environment to do what's necessary, so please leave this thread.
Nolan Gray
>They're getting paid quite a lot, user. It's called aid. It is not the women who get sterilizations which are paid. It is the dictators and the warlords which are paid "aid". Look it up. We also pay people who give them food and healthcare so they can have 12 kids - mostly Christian institutions who say condoms are a sin.
Colton Young
I said there aren't TWO data sets in the graph. There is ONE data set.
Nolan Turner
>This graph only covers the past 1500 years... Now compare it to the one which covers 15000yrs. Why don't they correlate? Yes, because the 15000yrs graphs posted is bs.
Christian Carter
>we adjusted the data and there's no pause anymore >oh, and our hard drives crashed so we can't give you the raw data >but luckily our adjusted data was safe >Science!
Aaron Harris
So you're doubting that the dinosaurs lived on an Earth considerably warmer than during the Ice Age? Does that make you a dinosaur denier? Maybe you should hang out with Ken Ham, Hans.
Justin Davis
Ah yes, it couldn't possibly be your graph that's bs.
Brayden Cooper
t rex did global warming you cunt
Aiden Price
>Ah yes, it couldn't possibly be your graph that's bs. No, it cannot. The 1500yrs are researched like cracy. I never seen a source for the 15000yrs graph. Here is a 10000yrs reconstruction until the 1990s and it looks completely different. Why? Could it be... that the pic related actually has a source?
Hudson Sanchez
>So you're doubting that the dinosaurs lived on an Earth considerably warmer than during the Ice Age? >Dinosaurs living on Earth 15,000yrs ago.
Burger education everyone. No, Burger, they didn't live 15,000yrs ago, they lived between 250 million and 65 million yrs ago and yes, the climate was way warmer back then. Half of the land mass back then was also at various periods covered in deserts, there was no polar ice and there were areas of Antarctica with trees and beaches.
Bentley Peterson
Oh fuck I forgot about triceratops farts. If only they had gotten their shit together and found a way to eliminate their methane footprint.
Benjamin Bell
>>we adjusted the data and there's no pause anymore Wrong. There never was a pause. The last 3 years of actual temperature readings show the trend is going up as predicted.
You think the readings worldwide are all wrong? Really? You really think tens of thousands of temperature stations are manipulated by a worldwide conspiracy spearheaded by Al Gore?
William Lopez
My point is that at some point, without human intervention, a warm Earth cooled, then warmed. Climate change occurs with or without humans; separating the natural from the manmade takes intellectual effort.
Hunter Reyes
Then most of human civilization is doomed.
The collective action problem presented here is so immense that it is impossible for any major attempt at carbon emission reduction capable of preventing PETM 2.0 to succeed.
Nathan Walker
I think I can resolve some of the confusion: None of these graphs are "bs" or wrong in and of themselves. But this graphic has at least two problems: (1) As the y-axis explicitly says, this records central Greenland temperature, not global temperature. So take the Younger Dryas for example, that is shown as the big dip in temperature: Because the YD has quite a bit of spatial heterogeneity, conditions in Greenland don't reflect how the tropics or the Southern hemisphere behaved during that interval. Some of those places are even characterized by a continued warming, not a cooling. (2) the graphic is missing the instrumental record (in the form of a sudden uptick at the end), which shows temperatures to be beyond the Holocene maximum, since roughly the early 2000s. That's a problem this graphic doesn't have, because Marcott et al. 2013 is a global multi-proxy compilation.
Henry Gomez
Great another climate tard. It's settled science that you are all stupid
Robert Campbell
>It's settled science Correct. Then why did Trump pull out of the Paris Accord citing "climate deniers"?
Connor Ross
It's too late to act user. And when I see what's going on nowadays, I'm kind of glad this is a thing. Mankind was a mistake.
Cooper Harris
Dumb fuck, the argument is not whether its real or not, its whether we should crash our economy over it. The private sector is and has been sorting this out for decades.
Jack Phillips
>My point is that at some point, without human intervention, a warm Earth cooled, then warmed. Yes, so? Nobody denies that over large periods of time in the past massive climate change happened.
>Climate change occurs with or without humans; Yes, we know that.
>separating the natural from the manmade takes intellectual effort. Yes, so? It does. And we have concluded that the current lightening fast warming is principally man-made. What is so hard to understand?
Samuel Young
Not hard to understand. But understanding a point and believing it are two different things. When I look at a graph of millions of years of temperature, I conclude we are on a steep NATURAL warming slope. I have no problem believing humans cause SOME unnatural warming, but MOST? That's only true if we'd naturally be near the top of a "hill" right now if it weren't for manmade warming, and if that's true we're about to enter a natural cooling period.
Mason Rodriguez
what do you think is causing this "natural warming slope"?
Isaac Ortiz
because its inefficient to pay india and africa a fuckton of money in foregin aid, so that they start thinking about enviromental issues around 2030 and can use the money until then to boost their economy and ruin your own
Leo Murphy
>I conclude we are on a steep NATURAL warming slope Based on what? On past warming trends that all DID NOT happen in similar time frames and similar CO2 and CH4 spikes?
Are you honestly saying you conclude this warming is natural despite the fact that there hasn't be a similar situation in the past? That's like saying "look, I had never had an accident because my breaks always worked, but the accident I just had can't be related to my breaks, because they always worked, even though my mechanic determined that my breaks were shot."
Caleb Wood
>because its inefficient to pay india and africa a fuckton of money in foregin aid
We are talking about 3 billion paying into the fund for 10yrs. America pays more to Israel in 9 months.
And those contributions were voluntary in the first place!
Jaxon Brown
Most of the temperature data has been tampered with, adjusting earlier readings downward so that modern readings look way higher
The amount of biomass that can exist on the surface of the planet is constrained by the amount of carbon in the ecosystem. Releasing more carbon into the ecosystem is a massive benefit to life worldwide. We could double our crop yields
Noah Turner
Hey you want to stop global warming right? Why not do something about pic related?
Nolan Myers
>CO2 is the principal control knob of the planetary climate what the fuck
Sebastian Williams
explain what's wrong
Andrew Phillips
still, why should one do this? india would have been allowed do double its coal production, isn't this contraproductive? israel is of geostrategical importance to keep down the arabs and their oil.
i guess the real reason is some party internal deal with big donors, probably military-industry or something
Jeremiah Gomez
>Hey you want to stop global warming right? >Why not do something about pic related? Did you read this: and this?
Ethan Wood
Dude that meme is so old. Trump destroyed that to where no one even cares.
Jose Jackson
>explain what's wrong This is the most retarded thing I've ever heard in my life
CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere, it's barely even measurable. They call it a "trace gas" It's not even close to being the strongest greenhouse gas, methane is a hundred times stronger, and water vapor is the strongest of all.
If you want the "primary control knob of planetary climate", look in the sky at that big shining golden thing
Carson Murphy
>Trump destroyed that to where no one even cares. Climate scientist Trump "destroyed" the conclusion of thousands of climate scientists?
Wow, do tell us more! I mean his tweets are SOOOO filled with science!

Adrian Peterson

We refuse to do anything about climate change until the White Genocide ends. We hold the world hostage. They are making Canada not Canadian anymore. If my homeland is not what it used to be, why should I care if it sinks underwater due to climate change?
Oliver Turner
I think I can meet all those objections:
- the relative abundance of CO2, compared to all other molecules in the atmosphere is completely irrelevant, what matters is the absolute concentration. Ozone (O3) for example, is only 0.0001%, yet it's of absolutely crucial importance.
- Methane is a stronger GHG on a per molecule basis, but the overall forcing on the climate is much smaller (mostly due to the smaller concentration of CH4 and its short lifetime in the atmosphere)
- Water vapor is indeed a stronger greenhouse gas, but there is an important difference between H2O and CO2: water vapor condenses. Its concentration is limited by temperature (accordign to the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship), so it cannot change independently of climate, while CO2 can. Water vapor is therefore - so to speak- doomed to be a amplifying feedback and not a driver.
- The sun is a well-behaved main-sequence start, whose only long-term evolution is one towards higher luminosity. The short-term variability can do little more than provide high-frequency noise on top of the deca-millennial temperature.
Jose Flores
I don't care about non-white countries. Finland can spare couple coastal cities for greater good.

Isaac Robinson
This climate stuff will hurt Europe differently than people think. My money is on catastrophic flood rains, because of increased oceanic evaporation.
Sebastian Watson
We are living in the short interglacial period that will probably end soon (on an Universe timescale). The cycle repeated itself several times already. The global warming would be a good thing for humanity - if it ever was a real thing.
Isaiah Sanchez
I'd argue that massive environmental changes give a bonus to general intelligence, as a selection pressure. That's because other genetic traits are fixed to the niche environments.
Samuel Sanders
a warmer atmosphere means more water vapor, so extreme precipitation events will increase (in fact, that has already been observed). But a warmer world also means that when it doesn't rain, soils will dry more quickly and more severely, so both extremes of the water cycle (drought and flood) will increase.
Henry Brown
bullshit
Benjamin Brooks
>140 years >Enough evidence Please.
Samuel Ross
There are two cases:
Climate change is real but it's mostly natural: we have to stop it, but to do so we have to stop the man-made one too, as it helps natural climate change either way.
Climate change is real and it's mostly man-made. We have to stop it
I hate the fact that politically it is 100% assumed man-made climate change is real, which to me is utter bullshit to be sure of something like this on a fluctuating system such as our planet (fluctuating because predicting it it's fucking impossible now for that massive scales of countless events) But the fact that climate change is real, that is fucking undeniable. What Trump did was just a political move to gain favors by his now unregulated friends in the industrial establishment. This is also undeniable. Stop sucking Trumps cock. His just another fucking politician who doesn't give a shit about us.
Alexander Butler
