Covering Extreme Heat and Climate Change as It Unfolds with Jeff Goodell

[@TheDoomWizard]

I've been covering this subject on my channel for years and have been suppressed from KZbin the entire time.

Before anyone tries to geoengineer our way out of the climate crisis we’re in, don’t you think it would be prudent to first try to REDUCE the amount of carbon we’re putting into the atmosphere? There is much “low hanging fruit” to try, such as rationing flights, rationing gasoline, ration our usage of fossil fuels first and see how that goes. Not one country has proposed this and I find it incredible that we are so wedded to “business as usual”, that we might destroy our species rather than give up a single flight.

[@jamesmcginn6291]

No. CO2 doesn't heat the environment. This is bubblegum science.

[@anthonymorris5084]

Rationing? Ok comrade, get a grip.

The fossil fuel industry is one of those things that is seen as invincible-until it isn't.

The problem with any kind of mirroring effect, as with a lot of "solutions", is that it makes an excuse for those who don't care about real results to keep their contribution to the growth going. The biggest thing we need is build in contraction to all policy. Probably the world we are going to be stuck with will not sustain more than a few hundred million people, which means we will see a contraction of 8 billion people no matter what, this century.

So I'm curious what happens when the ocean volume increases which will exponentially increase the pressure in deepest areas of oceans often adjacent to lava ridges could this added pressure increase tectonic plates activity and volcanoes and super volcanoes activity

[@dandantheideasman]

Yes, unfortunately 😔

Global warming has been basically stalled at 1°C for thirty years prior to the present year 2023. Global warming after rising at 2/10°C per decade in the 1980s suddenly paused in 1991 when global warming was reported at 1.1°C. In 2022 global warming was reported at 1.1°C actually 1.06°C. This video has the United Nation's disclaimer: During this thirty year end-to-end period between 1991 and further noncondensing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continued to rise much as they'd done in the 1980 with no correlation to global warming. Stating global warming is being created by human emissions of greenhouse gases is the biggest known scam in human history. It is high school taught science that earth's greenhouse effect is the model of system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor that adds 10°F (5.55°) to earth's average temperature and takes place within 20 meters of the surface. After 20 meters from the surface all the greenhouse radiant energy has been completely absorbed by greenhouse gases. Its further heat transfer is by convection i.e. greenhouse gas molecules bumping into each other. Noncondensing greenhouse gases have a share in earth's greenhouse effect, but they can not change its overall effect because it is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor 99-1/2% of earth's greenhouse effect is from water vapor. The United Nation's IPCC science report in the back of some 200 pages declares it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude and only that one attitude! This is a legal back stop statement to protect the authors from criminal fraud. If in a court setting the defense will argue that the IPCC has made it transparent to a reasonably high school science educated person they are not dealing with active greenhouse gases or earth's greenhouse effect by only sampling greenhouse gases at 20,000 meters altitude, because it is general high school education there is no greenhouse radiant energy more than 20 meters from the earth's surface. This is similar to a fruit drink labelled "All Natural Fruit Flavors" then reading the ingredients where it declares "contains no actual fruit juice".

[@randydelgado4548]

@@tradeprosper5002 I ------- I upgraded and edited my thoughts and words I have to do here's my rewrite and to the question Awesome video. I believe it's because the balance of nature is reacting to the unbalanced unnatural burning of fossil fuels that is polluting our planet as pollution and our economy is creating and is also reacting to the loss of biodiversity and the decreasing populations of living species on earth with many species going extinct and decreasing throughout the animal insect kingdoms with our aquatic Life kingdom decreasing as well. As these populations of of species are decreasing natural resources these populations created are now decreasing as well. Which is a unnatural unbalanced new attribute of nature. The burning of fossil fuels is a negative attribute within the evolving natural intelligence of mankind. It's uncalled for our a worldwide laborforce of over four billion people to work not stop seven days a week 365 days a year increasing the burning of fossil fuels to produce a population of over 5.5 billion citizens since the economic MIT study came out in 1973. Called limits to growth. The greater our population the greater the amount of fossil fuels needs to be burned to support our growing population. The burning of fossil fuels is unnatural to nature and remains a unbalanced by product for life and nature itself. Nature will live on and survive even though humanity may not live to survive through our future climate challenges. Remember the term Hell freezes over. In order for water to freeze ice first most melt in order to freeze back up to restore order to nature. As our earth has natural ice ages restoring order to nature. Which is what nature is doing. Restoring order to nature and to planet Earth? Nature is wiping out the unbalanced unnatural link which is causing the problems towards nature. In this case the actions of humanity has became the unnatural link. As humanity and our economy has speeded up the entire natural process of natural climate changes throughout our Earth's history from the beginning. Why ? Humanity has created a unnatural unbalanced cycle creating a economy which does not remain in harmony with nature. Because of this nature is attacking humanity back And nature will prevail against the unnatural link which happens to be humankind ourselves.

[@anthonymorris5084]

Given the choice between embracing fossil fuels and enduring warming, or abandoning fossil fuels and enduring planetary wide poverty, I'll take warming any day.

He's just trying to sell his book and make some money. At the height of northern summer so far this July of 176 countries in the Northern Hemisphere, only China and Albania have broken their national records, which is a little disappointing considering all the scary reporting. It's more what you would expect from a slowly warming world (~0.1°C per decade UAHv6) which is of course what we're living in. Where I live the heat isn't going to kill me because it's been completely absent in Northern Europe. Heat waves have not been increasing in intensity or frequency in the United States. Data from NOAA's Climate Reference Network shows no sustained increase in daily high temperatures in the United States since at least 2005. In recent decades in the United States, heat waves have been far less severe than they were in the 1930s. At that time Heatwaves were more than 6 times worse with greater frequency and covering a larger area than the last decade (EPA). The all-time high temperature records set in most states occurred in the first half of the twentieth century. So if this guy is right everyone should have died 90 years ago. 😂 Although Phoenix was incorporated in 1881, NOAA only has continuous data from around 1940. So recorded history for Phoenix in this instance is about 80 years (not that long climatically) and the record for 1930s (when heatwaves were worse) is mostly incomplete. Also Phoenix's population has expanded exponentially in that time from a few tens of thousands to a few million. This has dramatically increased the Urban Heat Island effect resulting in temperatures 10°F (5°C) higher during the day (Scientific American, 2019). This alone explains the record high temperatures. As I'm sure everyone is aware, Phoenix is in the Sonoran desert, which is characterised by long summers and extremely high temperatures. And that's exactly what's happening. There's nothing unusual or unexpected here. The news story is purposely catatrophising the weather to unnecessarily scare people into changing their way of life. 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. There is no objective observational evidence that we are living through a global climate crisis. None.
