Today is Feb 12, 2024. I watched the video talking about the climate change. During this time, I just passed three questions mentioned in the video. First question: What is the climate change? Climate change is about the heat being added to the Earth system. Human activities like burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests that have been standing for hundreds of thousands of years create carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. The more greenhouse gas you have in the atmosphere, the more of the sun's heat get trapped in the atmosphere and the warmer the surface gets and that's why it's called greenhouse effect. 2. What are greenhouse gases? Greenhouse gases exist naturally in the atmosphere. If there's no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the world would be too cold for comfort. Greenhouse gases on their own are actually great. It helps to insulate the Earth. The problems we are facing now is the numerous of greenhouse gases being added to the Earth. 3. What are fossil fuels? All of the systems that underpin our lives. So how we produce food to eat, how we create energy to heat our homes, how we create electricity to power our devices, how we fuel our cars. For the most part, historically, we burn fossil fuels to produce energy. Fossil fuels are essentially from plants and animals from millions of years ago. We burn fossil fuels to create heat and electricity and everything. But then we also produce carbon dioxide as a side effect.

User, that is simplistic. Co2 which most consider the most powerful actually decreases in potency as it's concentration increase on a logarithmic scale. H2O is actually far more potent and has very much more influence. That said every action has a reaction and increasing temperature increases water evaporation which is cooling. There are many other reactions which doesn't follow the more CO2 equals more heating, it's much more complex. The sun is not considered by the IPCC but it too is variable.

Climate change is not "turbocharging weather events". The UN's IPCC AR6 report, chapter 11 'Weather and Climate Extreme Events in a Changing Climate' summarises the fact that severe weather events cannot be detected as increasing, nor attributed to human caused climate change: Increased Flooding: not detected, no attribution. Increased Meteorological Drought: not detected, no attribution. Increased Hydrological Drought: not detected, no attribution. Increased Tropical Cyclones: not detected, no attribution. Increased Winter Storms: not detected, no attribution. Increased Thunderstorms: not detected, no attribution. Increased Hail: not detected, no attribution. increased lightning: not detected, no attribution. Increased Extreme Winds: not detected, no attribution. There is no climate crisis. The UN's IPCC AR6 report, chapter 11 'Weather and Climate Extreme Events in a Changing Climate' summarises the fact that certain severe weather events cannot be detected as increasing, nor attributed to human caused climate change: Pages 1761 - 1765, Table 11.A.2 Synthesis table summarising assessments Heavy Precipitation: 24 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend (12 medium confidence), 43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution. Agricultural Drought: 31 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend (14 medium confidence. No high confidence assessment). 42 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (3 medium, no high confidence). Ecological Drought as above. Hydrological Drought: 38 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend. 43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (2 medium confidence, no high confidence). So the IPCC are saying we didn't cause droughts and we didn't make it rain. How surprising! There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis. The UN's IPCC AR6, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed: Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions), Aridity, Avalanche (snow), Average precipitation, Average Wind Speed, Coastal Flood, Agricultural drought, Hydrological drought, Erosion of Coastlines, Fire Weather (hot and windy), Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods), Frost, Hail, Heavy Rain, Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms, Landslides, Marine Heatwaves, Ocean Acidity, Radiation at the Earth’s Surface, River/Lake Floods, Sand and Dust Storms, Sea Level, Severe Wind Storms, Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets, Tropical Cyclones. How about some quotes from the UN's IPCC AR6? "There is low confidence in the emergence of heavy precipitation and pluvial and river flood frequency in observations, despite trends that have been found in a few regions." "There is low confidence in the emergence of drought frequency in observations, for any type of drought, in all regions." "Observed mean surface wind speed trends are present in many areas, but the emergence of these trends from the interannual natural variability and their attribution to human-induced climate change remains of low confidence due to various factors such as changes in the type and exposure of recording instruments, and their relation to climate change is not established. . . The same limitation also holds for wind extremes (severe storms, tropical cyclones, sand and dust storms)." There is no objective observational evidence that we are living through a global climate crisis. None.

[@yaluo5648]

Are you trying to prove climate change is natural? Heres three reasons why climate change is mostly caused by human works : My first point : Yes ,climate change can happen naturally, like in the sun , but temperature on Earth is increasing more rapidly , maybe even faster than the Sun. Human works , like different diamond or gold mines produce methane when the soil is dug up and that methane gas rises to the air , reflecting sunlight from the sun more , creating what is called a greenhouse effect , heating up the planet faster , increasing the temperature at least by 1 degrees Celsius by 2025 . My second point : Factories produce different chemicals like mercury , plastics , petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and even excess gunpowder, and a wide variety of different chemicals, killing off the plants in the water and other marine animals , making the levels of photosynthesis decrease rapidly and causing carbon dioxide emissions to drastically increase while oxygen levels would plummet, warming up the surroundings as a result , along with other greenhouse gases that are also produced. My third point : Electrical appliances, such as fridges , produce excessive chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons , which deplete the ozone layer , heating up the climate . My fourth point : Trees in the Amazon forest the size of two football fields are being cut down every hour , and since trees help absorb carbon dioxide and other harmful chemicals, when they are cut down , they release a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, causing the temperatures to warm up . My fifth reason: Nuclear power plants which generate electricity through nuclear fission also produce greenhouse gas emissions, and creates nuclear waste , which , in turn to store them , we need to cut down an estimated 2120 trees by 2026 to supply enough space for the nuclear waste , which in turn create more carbon dioxide, warming up the climate. My sixth point : The domestication of livestock are rapidly increasing, and farmers , in turn burn down more trees to supply more space , creating the haze epidemics ( 2018 -2019) in Indonesia, India and even China. On top of that , farmers try to feed their livestock as much as possible, creating more emitting of greenhouse gases (farts and burps ) which in turn warm up the surroundings even more ! My seventh point : Cars that run on gasoline create even more greenhouse emissions by chemical reactions in their engines , releasing carbon monoxide, methane , and most importantly, carbon dioxide. My eighth point : As more gasoline is used up , more fossil fuels are dip up and burnt , creating carbon dioxide, hydroxide , and much more chemicals, creating more greenhouse emissions by everything put together .

[@yaluo5648]

My addition to my fifth point : nuclear power plants can also produce greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide ( poisonous chemical, created by burning sulfur )and other stuff that also warm up the surroundings

[@yaluo5648]

Plus , how about the super cyclone that hit the eastern coast of New York City ? Your “evidence” of the matter seems outdated from 2019 . The cyclone was caused by - you guessed it- climate change , which is why the 1 billion oyster program was created to restore the city’s carbon footprint. How about the melting of global ice caps ? The world loses about ten metric tons of ice per year! That is about the weight of 400 elephants of ice ! How is that not caused by human activity? How about the Australian wildfires in 2019 ? This disaster was one of the largest wildfires in the world since the 2000s ! How about increasing change in rainfall patterns? Ever since humans first began to increase the greenhouse gas emissions, different floods are happening around the globe, and have you heard that Ireland is about to sink by 2190 ?

[@yurialtunin9121]

@@yaluo5648 My first point : First point. Temperature on Earth is not increasing. "Ice hockey stick" happened to be a scam. Check climategate story. My second point : Oxygen is produced via photosynthesis. Photosynthesis needs carbon. If you want to have more trees and plants - YOU HAVE TO BURN THE COAL No carbon dioxide - no plants. My third point : Ozone layer is not depleted and it is in fact OK. Are we talking about Ozone layer or climate change? My fourth point : Carbon dioxide is not a harmful chemical. It is produced in your body. Actually trees are not a major contributor to photosynthesis. It is sea plankton who is. My fifth reason: Nuclear power plant producing "gas emissions" - is just a pure lie. My sixth point : What is your proposal? Stop cows to fart? In the past huge bison herds were roving plains. What is your plan to stop them farting? My seventh point : Cargon dioxide is produced by any animal, including human being. My eighth point : Burinig coal is a good thing. Now coal is trapped by coal. We return carbon where it belongs - trees.

Climate change refers to? long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns? Human activities are not the main driver of what we have termed, climate change. Recognising that the sun is the main contributor to our temperatures is important. It has absolutely nothing to do with the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Sun storms are correlative with the current causes of our temperature fluctuations. The 'deserts' and 'sea levels' however, 'they' indeed have been created, by mankind. Jean-François Bastin, interesting question "What if there were 1 trillion more trees?" Understandably, just how many trees do you think they are currently cutting down? So you know, 'People cut down 15 billion trees each year, on one global tree count'. United, the deforestation, estimated 46% since the beginning of human civilization. So his question, is to more than double the just over 400 billion trees on the planet. (:It would be 1.4 Trillion trees, keep in mind 800 billion estimated, before mankind;)

Climate change due to CO2 is bollocks." I believe that you are sincere, but you are confusing local and short-term WEATHER on the one hand with AVERAGE GLOBAL CLIMATE on the other hand. The heat on Earth is always unevenly distributed, so man-made global warming doesn't mean that every July 4 will be hotter than every other July day in previous years--that's not how it works. We will even still set record daily cold temps in various places, but the GLOBAL AVERAGE is getting warmer, including the long-term average for the UK. So don'y be confused by random short-term weather fluctuations: The climate crisis is real, lethal, urgent, and we caused it... and it's getting worse every decade.

More then 100 years ago Knut Johann Ångström dismissed the theory with a simple experiment. He let an infrared beam pass through a tube filled with CO2 and measured the emerging light intensity. Upon reducing CO2 concentration in the tube, only a tiny difference could be found and he concluded that very few CO2 molecules are enough to completely absorb the IR beam. The conclusion was that a CO2 increase could not matter.

"More then 100 years ago Knut Johann Ångström dismissed the theory with a simple experiment." That's laughable.

Climate change refers to the long-term changes in weather patterns that are observed across different regions of the Earth. These changes are primarily driven by human activities that release large amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere, leading to global warming. The effects of climate change include rising sea levels, melting glaciers and ice caps, more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, as well as more frequent and severe storms and hurricanes. The scientific consensus is that human activities are the main cause of climate change, and urgent action is needed to mitigate its impacts and adapt to its consequences. activities that release large amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere, leading to global warming.

Rome's Portus grain port 200 AD at sea level, now up to 40 metres above sea level, is obviously not silted over, as NASA proclaims, attached, because it's visible on Google maps and satellite. Google maps indicate a current elevation about 40 metres above current sea levels. KZbin Drain the Oceans Rome pictures the evidence. It's the tip of the iceberg. There's a huge community of marine archeology studying sea levels fluctuations. Mostly below sea levels but some above. Apparently one researcher sought permission to scan the flood plains below Troy. Apparently there are hundreds of ports from the Roman era which are now above sea levels. Isle of Thanet, Shore Forts, Port of Rye UK. It appears the conventional explanation is "SILTED OVER" but new evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, is sea levels were higher in Roman times. Rebuilding global ports needs 100 years lead time ( check with Arcadis, Netherlands) and because we're talking about the End of Civilization, this issue is STAT. Scientists who debated a physical environment without inspecting it are like Ancient Greek scientists who debated how many teeth a horse has without inspecting horses. It's urgent that marine archeology, inSAR, NISAR, Adrok Scotland ( AI and big data radar points) and ground penetrating radar ( a new technology), geomatics ( a new science of ground instability or movement), mining tech, volcanology, ash layers, and so on re-examine the physical evidence because civilizations built on ports end when their ports are high and dry or submerged. Don't know whether sea levels will return to their (recent) peak in 10, 100 or 1,000 years, nor what the cyclical processes are.

[@OldScientist]

@rawazardalan2288 I am uncertain of your location and how a small increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere results in an increase in cancer rates in just your area. There are, however, lots of positive effects associated with climate change. There has been a 10% decline in natural disasters since 2000 (CRED). Normalised disaster losses have decreased since 1990 and human mortality due to extreme weather has decreased by more than 95% since 1920, so you're 50 times less likely to die from a climate-related disaster in a world that's 1°C warmer than 100 years ago (EM-DAT, CRED/UC). Deaths from drought have declined by 99%! Climate change saved 555,103 lives in England and Wales between 2001 and 2020 (ONS, 2022). There are over 5 million excess deaths per annum globally due to abnormal temperatures from the 2000-2019 study led Prof. Guo of Monash University. It found that over 90% of excess deaths were caused by excess COLD rather than excess heat. This applied globally including in the hottest continent, Africa. So, in a world with increasingly mild temperatures, there will be less excess death. Warming is good not bad. One of the main causes of death in the poorer parts of the world is attributable to air pollution. This is because they have to burn wood and dung over open fires for cooking and heating in their homes. These people need access to gas stoves and electricity to improve their health and life expectancy. They need fossil fuels to make them healthy and wealthy.

Today is Feb 17, 2024. 1. Why is the Earth getting warmer considered as a global issue? Some people will be thinking I like hot weather. What's wrong with it? Some parts of the word are already pretty hot. If you are in a particularly hot city and that suddenly gets a chunk hotter, that's going to make it a lot harder to live in that city. Beyond that, around the world, we have seen first-hand the effects of the world getting warmer. Climate change is turbocharging all sorts of extreme weather events like heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires. 2. How do the climate change cause floods and? That seems to be the opposite of what some people have thought would happen. Warm water takes up more spaces than cold water. And so, you get this thing called thermal expansion. Sea level rising is due to the amount of the warm water in the sea. Besides that, hot atmosphere causes ice sheets to melt, not just melt from the top down, but also to flow faster into the ocean. We 've already seen a huge increase in the rate of ice loss. Some parts of the word are also experiencing more drought as more water gets carried away from those areas,

After the energy crises of the 1970s we statarted the intensive use of energy and in global characterised the era of industrialisation. Future moves in direction we reguire! For instance many European countries during the last few decades uses the hot water traditionally to supply energy. Low enthalpy sources for heating offer various spectrum of applications. It is time for all of us to prevent it with renewable energy sources!

These comments are pitiful. If you don't understand that climate change is a tragedy of the commons that is incredibly difficult to stop, and is likely to end civilization and the natural world we depend on, then you are just being silly, in hopium and denial. If you don't understand "overshoot" then please consider understanding it before commenting.

We need energy to heat and cool and run our machines etc. Renewable energy sources can’t supply enough of our energy needs. Maybe reducing the world’s population would mean we’d need to produce less energy and our reliance on fossil fuel sources would be reduced.

Now we know that oil and gas can be formed abiotically through subterranean heat and pressure, and that the Earth contains a virtually endless supply - oil is the new ‘renewable’ energy.

@@geob8172 Do you deny current atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are over 30% higher than they were about 150 years ago at the dawn of the industrial revolution and in the same time span the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8° Celsius (1.4° Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade, roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming?
