50 percent of greenhouse emissions come from animal agriculture. Why aren’t 97% of scientists plant based? This is much more achievable than buying an electric car. It will piss off a lot of industrialists though.

[@Deebz270]

Then step-up to the plate and get in the faces of those you interact with that are deniers. Keep talking about our existential threat to everyone you meet. Yes, you'll probably lose friends, but at least they'll realise at some point how truthful you were. . Yes collective change is required to change the human paradigm. But be under no illusion that anything humans do (with or without political will) will result in a positive outcome. Global warming is irreversible. We live in a predicament, that has no solutions.

Until every high intensity emission source is doing carbon capture and storage their technology is very uncompetitive in terms of cost. These presenters are all pie in the sky and don't have a clue what it will actually take to decarbonize. The idea that we can decarbonize without a drastic hit to standard of living is just a straight up LIE.

@Robert P No one wants to take all the CO2 from the atmosphere Robert. Don't be infantile. We all know that CO2 is essential to life on earth. It's about one simple concept that most children understand by the age of 7. Like water for example, we need water to survive. Without water we die. Yet, if i droped you in the middle of the pacific ocean you would die. How can this be? Is water good or bad? It depends on the circumstances and quantities. Like CO2 too much of a "good" thing can be bad. I dont want you to be droped in the middle of the pacific ocean, Robert. Do you react to this by stating that i hate water and want to remove all the water from planet earth?

The rate of velocity warming is what will bring humanity to its knees. Forget the political issue. There are 440 nuclear reactors around the world mostly in the US and Europe.

How To Reduce Pollution 1. Many Production Companies Has To Be Stopped We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution and pollution has increased to such an extent that it has become a threat to the world. Well maybe we won't have a major natural disaster soon, but it will come some day. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less. We produce so many things which we do not need as a necessity, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. Cold drinks, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc. should be cooked at home only. Instead of cold drinks people should drink natural drinks such as lime water, coconut water or just any fruit, not any fruit juice, just the whole fruit which can be served when a customer comes in a shop, hotel or a person selling this drinks on a street and serve it to him. If we stopped producing this things which are not required as a necessity for humans, so much pollution could be reduced. If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in white natural colour. 2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops. But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads. So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world. Humans have to do this before it is too late. If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. But human jobs or planet earth, which should we save, planet earth is more important. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans after 100 or 200 years. Prior to the industrial revolution or before that humans worked everything handmade. So if after shutting down many manufacturing companies which are not required as a necessity for humans, if we started doing many things handmade only then many people would not lose jobs. Many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own. Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also planet earth will be saved. 3. We Should Stop Using Makeup Products Many women's all over the world do makeup. Makeup is not a necessity for humans. Instead of doing makeup to look beautiful, women's should do exercise daily. If they exercise and sweat, eat fruits daily, they would have less dead skins and be naturally beautiful. They could save so much money if they stop using makeup products. If this is done then all the makeup manufacturing companies can be shut down. In this way all the pollution resulting from the makeup manufacturing companies would also be stopped. 4. Electricity Pollution We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur. As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not a necessity for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. Then maybe we could provide electricity to the whole world from windmill and Solar panels which are not pollutant. If we stopped producing electricity from coal, water, etc., then the pollution resulting from them won't occur. Shouldn't we take this step to protect our earth as already our earth is suffering so much from pollution. At present the world is researching how to solve the pollution problem, it would take how many years I don't know and also would it possible or impossible, God knows. Could we wait till that time when scientists would find how to solve pollution problems and till that the earth won't have a major natural disaster, nobody knows. 5. Firecrackers should be banned Firecrackers should be banned because it is harmful for animals. Animals have different levels of hearing and when we burst crackers which have a loud noise the dogs run away from that place. The dogs may hear the noise more louder than humans. When we fire the rocket cracker up in the sky and it bursts and if any bird is near to the explosion then that birds internal organs are damaged and they die just because of that explosion sound. Also peoples who have asthma illness, they face problems during Diwali. So much papers and threads are used in manufacturing crackers. The persons working in the manufacturing companies also suffer. Now when their are animals rights for not harming them, then this step of banning firecrackers must be taken. 6. Hair dye manufacturing should be banned People use hair dye to colour their hairs. The hair dye manufacturing companies after production dumps its waste in rivers or seas which pollutes the water. So all hair dye manufacturing companies should be shut down. 7. We Can Stop Eating Sweets, Cakes And Stop Drinking Liquor, Wine And Beer We consume sweets and cakes. We make it from many things such as wheat, coconut, etc. and add sugar to it. But what we want is the sweet thing to consume which we are getting directly from fruits. The fruit is naturally sweet. So if we want to consume sweets and cakes, we do not have to prepare it, just we have to eat fruits. So all the sweet manufacturing companies can be shut down. If you shut down a sweet manufacturing company, then so many paper boxes need not be manufactured which are used to pack the sweets. Liquor, wine and beer are also made from fruits. So if you want to consume liquor, wine and beer, just eat fruits. If this is followed, then you do not have to set up liquor factories and prepare cartoon boxes for liquors. Everybody should go to the rehabilitation centres those who can't live without liquor. 8. To Stop Using Perfumes And Powders Which Is Not A Necessity For bad smell in body both men and women should exercise and sweat, it would reduce the bad smell. If you stop using perfumes and powders, we don't need perfume and powder manufacturing companies and perfume and powder bottles need not be manufactured, cartoon boxes need not be manufactured for packing them and transportations can be reduced.

Sincere questions, If sunlight can pass through co2 gas on the way into our atmosphere, but then gets 'trapped' on the way out, how is it that co2 gas functions as a one way door for sunlight? 2nd question How do Malinkovich cycles play into these issues? Serious answera only if you please and I would prefer source information from scientific papers for the evidence so I may read the papers.

[@takoja507]

It's not about the sunlight it self, it's about the heat that the sunlight transfers to earth. If we didn't have co2 in atmosphere, earth would be much much hotter and radiation would be deadly. Problem with co2 is that it doesn't let the heath from earth to go into space, so earth becomes like one giant greenhouse. This is my understanding of it as none scientist and how I remember what I have heard and read. Am happy to learn more tho :)

[@madao7865]

The one-way-door thing works because shorter wavelengths of light pass easier through certain media (including CO_2) than longer wavelengths. The sun emits a wide spectrum, of which the longer wavelengths are partially "reflected" back into space by the atmosphere. The shorter ones reach the surface heating it up in the process. The surface, in turn, emits heat energy on the long wavelength spectrum. This long wavelength light is blocked by the greenhouse gasses from being radiated out into space.

[@madao7865]

@Sleepy BIden If only you could conduct an experiment to find out for yourself. Oh wait, you can.

[@sizanogreen9900]

​@@jackschitt1709 Well, first of all I kinda would like to shine a spotlight on the suffering of the animals often involved. Depending on wether you believe that animals have an individual experience (which I personally think is bonkers to deny but to be fair the science isn't quite clear yet on that) your argument is not that different from saying "oh we can't close the nazi death camps! what about all the people working in supporting them?" But that is just the moral argument. Apart from that there is the ecological argument Ruth Clements alluded to, which is absolutely true and significant. In addition there are the antropocentric arguments of firstly mass lifestock farms pumping their animals full with antibiotics massively increasing the possibility of an antibiotic resistant superbug, imagine corona on steroids in the worst case. Secondly the fact that there are many people still not having enough food while we put the majority of our agricultural output into the mouths of our lifestocks reducing the caloric output of our agriculture. And in addition to all of that there is the square egoistical argument of most cheap meat simply being unhealthy for you. The animals stress experienced during and the inappropriate lifestile itself we are forcing them to develop under as well as inappropriate food and too little movement is resulting in many hormones and just plain bad meat quality that is bad for you. If you want to eat good meat get yourself some deer meat or something from wild living animals. At least you are not killing yourself in the progress.

Hopefully, by then technology can keep up with the rate of climate change. Water can be frozen as soon as the ice melts.

[@T1tusCr0w]

The amount of energy to freeze water is significantly higher that it is to melt it. Also when it’s gone a thing called latent heating happens. All the energy being reflected from that white ice ( the albido effect ) is now absorbed into the dark water. Unfortunately this heat stays in the water. Ever but of it has to be extracted again before the temperature of the water can become low enough to freeze again. So once the ice is gone it’s gone. And when it’s gone it causes effects which make it ever coming back much more difficult. At least in human time scale.

Both are caused by rising global temperatures - due to the rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Joseph Lindquist if you warm an object the molecules that make it up expand, the ocean reacts the same way to a warmer atmosphere, the tricky part is, the melting ice caps are creating cold spots: imagine a simmering pot, as you add room temperature vegetables it settles down, takes time to heat up again, but eventually you stop adding vegetables, they heat up and if you aren’t paying attention the pot boils over.

@@pacomacaw2456 First and foremost, most experts agree that CO2 fertilization is probably a temporary effect. The reason is simple: anything that limits growth, whether it’s sunlight, water, carbon, or even physical space, can only stimulate plants up to a point. Eventually, they run into some other resource limitation. This principle, called “Liebig’s law of the minimum,” was developed in agricultural science to explain why fertilizing a crop with plentiful nutrients doesn’t stimulate growth. It’s proven to be a very robust concept. CO2 fertilization also stands to impact plant growth in unexpected ways. It’s possible, for instance, that some plants are putting out more leaves at the expense of roots, which could have detrimental effects on their long-term health. Finally, some ecologists worry CO2 fertilization will have dramatic feedbacks on the entire climate system. For instance, plants pump a lot of water from the ground into the atmosphere; a process known as transpiration. “When plants have more leaves, they can pump more water into the atmosphere, resulting in more clouds and rainfall,” Myneni said. “This could make the hydrological cycle more vigorous.” Consider it unpacked

I`m pretty sure that 2 forces are at work , vying for supremacy history show's that ice ages always come out on top
