[@ronaldraygun3386]

We have to hurry to stop climate change because Alaskanians can't possibly survive without -50 C winters! The colder, the better! I live north in Finland (which is as much to north as Alaska) and in the "good" old times, before the climate change, back in late 1800s, 10% of our population died of famine because there were several years of very cold winters and very short and cold summers, which destroyed the crops here. (I think it affected rest of the northern Europe as well, Irish historians probably recognize that same famine). Do I long for those good old times before the evil climate change, where the climate was much colder and harsher here? No thanks. I, for one, welcome our new climate change overlords. All hail climate change! Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!

The agricultural revolution was just over 200 years ago. The industrial revolution was about 150 years ago. The technological revolution within the last 100 years. That was after thousands of years of human history. So relatively quickly it has been realised that the industrial and technological revolutions have had negative effects. There are now technologies to help combat these negative effects. The only way to have not had these negative effects would be to still be living pre-industrial revolution. So I think that you need to consider HOW QUICKLY humans have reacted. However, the biggest problem is the ongoing medical advances which is one if the causes of over population. So what the world needs is a pandemic that can cull humanity by at least 1 billion. Remember we praise nature when diseases culls other animals when over population threatens life, but we fight against nature when the same happens to humans.

They discuss them, make promises, sign bits of paper - and then most (if not all) go home to consider the impact on their economy if they 'did' something about climate change (as opposed to the economic impact of 'not' doing something about climate change). That's when the enthusiasm fades. I expect 'some' changes to be made as a consequence of COP26. I believe more grants/funding will be given to the green power sector. However, I think too little will be done to impact fossil fuel industries, including the urgent need to stop subsidising them. The solution, in reality, was never in the hands of politicians anyway. The solution is in 'our' hands as individuals, and we have got to stop being big babies, grow up, and take responsibility for 'our' actions - because it is each and every one of us who contributes in some way to climate change. Relying on politicians means waiting too long for far too little meaningful action. We have got to do that - and it won't take overthrowing governments (opposition parties want everyone to think that way, but they are none of them any better), it takes 'us' to make the changes. Think about your food, travel, your work, the energy you use at home, how you treat your garden, entertainment, clothing, your home and your family size. We can all make changes somewhere.

@@genghisthegreat2034 It is, but the heat in the air like a lot of the Co2 ends up in the oceans ..they have been the great heat sink that is why the sea ice has melted 3x faster than expected. The spinning of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the the Sun and moon moves all the oceans water but the land masses get in the way and create the great turbulent currents around the continents and islands. Look at a map of global air currents caused by Equatorial heating and polar cooling. Each side of the equatorial belt you get the deserts on land and beyond those the regions at sea sailors refer to as the doldrums. Then another belt of winds ..in the southern hemisphere they are called the roaring 40s in the North Atlantic the TradeWinds... The heat differences in the oceans and land masses creates the air currents as well as the convection cells in the atmosphere. The two systems are linked and its the ocean that tends to drive the atmospheres behaviour. The loss of polar ice and cooling over the North pole and the extra heating over the European Asian land mass has resulted in the Jetstream swinging north and south of its usual seasonal tracks and at times flicking around daily like a horse tail ..the result extreme and rapid variations in weather outside of historic norms over Europe...

[@grantmccoy6739]

@@Zagill it is. But I'm not ignoring any of that. The temperature data that is extrapolated from the ice cores isn't verified by anything but itself. Meaning that they could come to any conclusion that they wanted too. What doesn't make sense is the idea that CO2 is trapping heat. All matter conducts heat, even special insulators. The atmosphere isn't an insulator, it's a conductor. Changing it's composition by 0.01% isn't going to do anything meaningful, even if CO2 is a better conductor. By the way, the best insulator is a vacuum, because heat transfers most easily through matter, from hot to cold. You would need extreme temperatures, with nowhere else to go (like the sun) for it to actually radiate out. The heat on Earth never escapes, and therefore CO2 can't trap it, no matter how much there is. The reality about any global warming is that humans waste too much heat, but that's even too simple for Occam's razor, right?
