But the next Solar Cycle started back up. So warming will continue

Find a way to make science data analysis interesting to the public?? please do, that would be a miracle. the early 70's publications about possible global cooling was based explicitly upon the context that there was a lot of pollution in the air which cools the earth, and that we seemed utterly incapable of slowing air pollution, therefore we might be causing a warming that overcomes the global warming that we were learning about, explicitly since 1896. but nope, in 1972 some dudes published peer reviewed research that humanity will not be able to cool enough via pollutions that will overcome the warming that we are causing on earth. from 1965 through 1980 there were 7 peer reviewed science journal publications that proposed that the earth will be cooling, the main thesis being that we are polluting the air and we cant stop ourselves, which cools the air. and 44 essays propose that people are rapidly warming the earth from burning buried, sequestered, fossil fuels .

4:37 "even if catastrophic human caused climate change turned out to be true, environmentalists are the last people we would want to put in charge of dealing with the problem." This is absolutely true, solar panels and wind turbines cost massive amounts of fossil fuels to produce, the metals from them need to be mined and then extracted from the ore, all of which produces massive amounts of carbon dioxide and are terrible for the environment. Electric cars still produce more carbon dioxide than regular cars because their power is produced by fossil fuels and 50% of the electricity is lost in the transfer through the power lines. If you really want to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, build more nuclear power plants. That is something that environmentalists will fight against with insane fury, and that is why although I care about the environment, I cannot call myself an environmentalist.

[@steveclunn8165]

are you really saying that electric cars produce more carbon dioxide than gasoline? You know it takes the same amount of electricity to drive 20 miles in an electric car as it does to refine one gallon of gasoline. Where did you get these numbers from? Try Googling it. 50% of the electricity is lost in the transmission lines? Do you believe that the fossil fuel company put lead in the gasoline to make people stupid? I don't but this illustrates the problem with people's using false information to try to make their point.

[@justingage5524]

The problem with nuclear power plants is that occassionally things happen to the planet that are catastrophic but out of our control. We've survived this in the past but when you add nuclear fallout to the equation we would be fucked. I'd be much more comfortable to stick with coal and plant more trees than going nuclear. Especially if we can clean up the particulate matter emitted from coal power.

Wind farms kill thousands of birds, mostly raptors (which are fewer in number) a year as they generate a few percent of unreliable and expensive energy in the U.S. At a recent TED Talk it was revealed that to generate enough unreliable energy by wind or solar to satisfy the needs of UK citizens, fully half the UK would have to be covered with wind or solar farms. Consider, U.S. citizens use twice the electricity as their UK counterparts. That is a lot of wind farms if you wish to power the U.S. by wind or solar. That is also a lot of dead birds.

[@charliebrandt2263]

I agree with Nuclear with a caveat. China has been building Thorium Reactors. Thorium has a very short half life, whereas Uranium has a half life of hundreds of years. So, if accidents occur, like Chernobyl or Fukishima, the result is contamination for a long, long time. In these uncertain times, the possibility of government failure, National collapse or whatever has grown. A neglected Nuclear power station would soon go dangerous....But a Thorium Reactor would cause damage but its half life would ensure a drop of radiation very quickly. There are over 400 NR's around the world. If they failed, bye bye any return to anything resembling life for us. Plant life and certain animals would be ok. But not us...

Great lecture. As a farmer I like CO2. I also like cheap diesel fuel, and nitrogen fertilizer sourced from oil and gas wells. Over the long run through regenerative notill farming with use of cover crops I can get some what away from fertilizers but I won't be farming anything without diesel fuel. The world will starve out without diesel fuel. CO2 is vital for plant growth. I seen reports that at one point atmospheric CO2 was as high as 2500 ppm currently its at 400 ppm. At what point does the CO2 level drop to a point where it is noticeably detrimental to plant growth. After watching what has happened over the past two years I am more convinced that the ruling class is planning on pricing common people out of existence and the only carbon they want to get rid of is really you and me. None of the ruling class live under what they are trying to force on the rest of us. As my teacher said to me, "If you're not living it you're not believing it".

thank you for farming that’s awesome, i’ve heard it’s not very profitable. yes the CO2 used to be MUCH higher and plants and animals thrived. sea creatures thrived also. 4-5 years ago i learned that climate change and plastic pollution were issues. i went home and talked to my dad about it and he said no and made me watch a bunch of videos about climate change. so since that day i’ve been saying the same thing, climate is NOT the issue. overfishing, deforestation, plastic pollution, and pollution of land, air and sea. there are several reasons i believe they’re pawning it off as climate change and the big one is to protect business from shelling out money and making consumers buy new products. EVs, windmills and solar panels aren’t good for the environment. EVs can result in more CO2 emissions, if you put a box around a running EV it won’t produce CO2 but production, mining/drilling, and where the energy to power the car comes from do emit CO2. windmills and solar panels use batteries and cannot produce enough energy. solar panels require certain materials which can’t be found everywhere on earth. windmills kill lots of birds & you have to clear land. solar farms require deforestation too. it’s just bs. coral bleaching has nothing to do with pH or temperature. pollution kills coral which is and has been studied and shown. diesel is used for soooooo many things too. there’s no way we’d live even close to the quality of life we have now without it.

Hi, I've been following "global cooling" since about 1965, as the "modern ice age" was considered approaching, as numerous glaciers were moving south, across northern Europe. The elderly gentleman who asked one of the last questions, mentioned the fact "the 30's recorded the actual height of the warming trend", and this was used sternly by Scientists, to counter political claims, in 67, as the cooling stopped, the new model chosen, and politics ramped up it's efforts to gain control of "climate". At that point in time, I was ten, was fully on top of quantum mechanics, in my personal studies, watching science in all its facets, hoping to be a nuclear physicist. I'd been following half a dozen aspects of "solar cycles", not only sun spots, but several other aspects, including flares, mass emissions, and coronal defining of amount of energy change emission, and the notion one of the least "gases" of our atmosphere, could produce a "greenhouse effect", appeared contrary to all science logic. We, on earth, transmit energy by radiation, by conduction, and by energetic mass, moving. The earth emits energy from the whole, through its atmosphere, almost exclusively by radiation, since there is no mass of matter to which it could transfer energy by other means. Unless the CO2 actually alters the frequency average of the radiated energy, it can't have an effect on our global temperature, our surface temperature is some 85 degrees F, on average, some four hundred degrees warmer than "space", we radiate every frequency of electromagnetic radiation, light, from infrared, to X-rays, on the basis of thermodynamics, we receive almost all our "climate energy" from the sun, and we expend most of it by radiation, and the main controlling factor is the "energy state differential", basically, the difference in temperature. Our planet changes its average temperature constantly, based mostly on incoming energy, if it increases for a time, by ten percent, it will increase our planet's temperature, but it's an enormous volume of mass, so it would take years to substantially increase our temperature, relative to "less than a degree above zero, Kelvin", and yet such an increase only comes with "the life cycle of the star, the Sun", for all the time life has been present, the average temperature of earth has remained relatively stable, changing with "solar aging", and by that, we should expect climate change to continue, both up and down, until it's last down as our sun turns to a "red giant", but life will be gone by then. The comment was made about the significance of "Greenland". We landed to B-17's on Greenland, in 43 or 44, one failing, the other partnering, and both landed safely. The crews were rescued, and in the late sixties, it was decided to retrieve those two bombers, for historical sake. They lay beneath fifty feet of hard pack ice, it was necessary to dig a hole all the way down, hollow out a "hanger" to work on the one aircraft, and clean, restore the other, but both were lifted out by crane, and flown back the the U.S. That's fifty feet of ice pack in "Greenland", in two decades, when "Greenland" was ice free, as Europe was "discovering the Americas". The science of ice measurement is highly controversial, because not all scientists measure all the ice. Many only measure icebergs, "calving" off, while ignoring the other side of the south pole, as it builds up at a higher rate than the ice loss. There is also the fact, now on public record, water levels have not risen, but climatologists have altered data from the thirties and before, moving "the goal" because they can't make the oceans actually rise, to meet their predictions. We know almost everything, about a few minor things, but in truth, the main thing science has provided is an endless series of questions, man will spend all his time on earth, answering, one at a time, often incorrectly. I just watched a lecture about "the understanding of human consciousness", about an hour and a half, showing we truly don't have even the beginnings of an understanding, nor even a means of postulating an "entry point", "we presume" everything we suggest we know about thought, memory, every aspect of data accumulation, and don't even have the beginning, the starting point to explore the very notion of "thought". To begin "science", we, People, had to come to some natural rational standards we could be certain of, and it took thousands of years to arrive at a coherent set, with many competing sets, still vying for attention. All our standards are based on our experience inside the influence of a "sphere of rock and earth and water", with a smidge of experience nearer the "edge of earth's influence", landing on the moon. I'm 61, at ten, I knew of dozens of solar aspects of energy projection directly impacting our solar system, not merely earth. Today, I know a substantially larger volume of facts about the same, suggesting far more controlling factor than we understood fifty years ago, and we still "make our best guess" as to how much of a factor humans are, on earth, other than our possession thermonuclear weapons, and our ability to wipe ourselves out. Entomologists would tell one, "if we could in a moment, wipe out all earth's ants at once, all vertebrate life would be dead within a year", as ants are the single most important factor we know of, in food propagation, and the health of plant life. We, people, aren't a tenth the mass of ants on earth. If we left, no one would miss us. Semper Fidelis, John McClain Vanceboro, NC

In 1989 I'd finished working on the UK doc. Can Polar Bears Tread Water? It was packed with many calamities predicted also for 20 years ago, none of which are even close to being true. I was also told at the time by another client of mine (astronomer) that it was nonsense. I had worked with that client for many years and back then was more convinced of his arguments than the crazy (by which I mean mystical and superstitious) director I had been working with on the documentary. The doc, went on to win some notable awards. But of course it was still nonsense. I regret my role in creating the "useful" graphics that helped propagate anti-industrialist propaganda. Over the years the majority of the docs I worked on to one extent or another had a "left-wing" bias, such is the state of the media industry. I focused on children's programming, but that to started to have an agenda. So in 2009 I quite the whole thing. I despise the narrative indicative in that industry. I gradually questioned my own received wisdom of leftist politics because of the contradictions all around me, and towards the end as I affirmed and challenged the views of my peers, they became hostile. So in a sense I didn't quit entirely of my own volition. The values I was surrounded by just finally became intolerable. On the subject of climate change I recommend looking into Alex Epstein - he's doing tremendous work. And look up Professor Christopher Essex to name but on other.

By taking it a step farther, and actually installing mirrors, one can easily clean the glass surface a couple of times over the spring and summer and maintain efficiency, and allow for dust to accumulate in the winter when one would rather absorb environmental heat. (*) The problem is amplified because the surfaces are so cold that dew continues to form hours after the rest of the roof is dry, and the moist surface traps any dust blowing across the roof. The dust is then glued to the surface when the dew point rises above the condensing temperature of the surface.

We need to understand that nature has a balance and CO2 is part of that balance. If we keep increasing the amount of it in our atmosphere the way we are there are other factors which do not have a good effect on plant life. Inversely if we took in a very high percentage of oxygen in our lungs the effect would not be good either.

We put more than 1 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every hour, over 36 billion tons per year. The troposphere - the lowest layer of the atmosphere - extends 6-12 miles above sea level. We can measure its concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses, and compare this with previous epochs via ice-core samples and the like. We know that the last time atmospheric CO2 concentrations were as high as they are now was during the Pliocene Epoch, around 3-5 million years ago. During this period, CO2 levels were in the range of 400-450 ppm. We are now at 421 ppm. Estimates suggest that, back then, the Earth’s average temperature was about 2-4 degrees Celsius (3.6-7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than pre-industrial levels. Sea levels were much higher, estimated to be about 15-25 meters (50-82 feet) above what we have now. That is where we will end up eventually, unless we reduce CO2 levels rapidly - at the moment, we keep adding more fuel to the fire, as GHG levels keep rising. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), synthesizing extensive research from hundreds of scientists, expresses a high level of confidence that our industrial activities are the primary driver of accelerated global warming. While there is never perfect certainty, the correlations are very convincing. Problem is people believe climate change deniers that want you to believe the “liberal” or technocratic / World Economic Forum / Bilderberg elites are using a phony global warming hype as a plot to institute totalitarian controls on human freedom.

France is small, in the middle of a small densely populated continent, which is why their transport carbon emissions are so much smaller than the US's. They've invested massively in nuclear plants, the reason their power generation emissions are so much smaller. They benefit from Gulf stream warming of Europe which reduces the heating costs (compared to North Ameruica). The point is that even if the US could duplicate the French in terms of power generation, other needs like winter heating and transport over long distances preclude them ever getting to the projected 2.5 tonnes per capita in 2050.

As a physicist, I heard in 1994 about clouds cancelling (or partially cancelling) warming effects due to CO2 or any other warming causes. But clouds were difficult to simulate because of limitations of computer speed and memory, thus they were approximated somehow, or just ignored. I'm not in the climate field, but I'm still for accurate simulations for predictions. I conclude that, after 25 years of advancements in simulations, clouds still can't be include accurately? In absence of simulations, I would have to rely on observations (and much better ones at that) for predictions.

[@ed9374]

It's an interesting problem. I would assume that as the oceans warm, water would evaporate more readily, and that would increase cloud formation. So, it's a two-fold problem with natural variability and how feedback might very it further. But wouldn't more cloud cover make it warmer still? Photons coming from the sun are very high energy (frequency) and cut right through, while the black body radiation outward is lower energy which is why a CO2 can absorb it and redirect it back to Earth. Venus is super cloudy and way hotter.

[@MsBiggles51]

There's also increasing evidence that cosmic rays affect cloud formation, and these in turn are affected by the solar wind. I read that the IPCC plans to put cosmic rays into future models, which means these factors haven't been included yet. I think as Ed says, some clouds can make the surface warmer but high altitude clouds are apparently whiter and more reflective so make it cooler. It's certainly far more complex and chaotic than more CO2 = hot, less CO2 = cool.
