“When you hear a scientist saying the science is settled, you know that person has stepped out of the science”

[@sharehard]

there is such a thing as consensus and we definitely have that with climate change

[@konverzaktion2393]

@@sharehard And that means you don't understand. Scientific consensus means more or less this: "currently, to the best of our current researches, measurements, and so on, that's a X% probability that the things are like this" (to keep it simple, I don't put into the formula politics and economy and lobbying and corporate interests funding certain researches worldwide, because it'd be hard to make a general picture in a comment; anyway, they are there to make the "consensus" very much less certain and granted.) This is light-years far away from saying "the science is settled". If you say this, you are stepping out of the science. And if you don't realize that because "well, but there's a consensus!" is the same to you, then you damage scientific research and advancement, and I suggest you the reading of books on the history of science, scientific errors in modern age, and of course epistemology essays.

@@konverzaktion2393 thanks for your recommendations. I have studied philosophy of science and the history of science.

I was hired by the University of Maine, while a student, to test New England lakes for acidity levels. When I read the study I saw how they skewed the test to obtain the results that could only say acid rain in a problem. I challenged the presiding professor. Sure enough He admitted that they needed to prove that acid rain is problematic only because they were up for a ten million dollar grant. They confirmed, based upon my sample collections, they were going to submit fraudulent test results to the EPA purely to gain funding. When I refused to sign off on their skewered test results, I was promptly fired. How many other false narratives have Universities created solely to pocket from the government?

Here's a neat little factoid. Vikings settled in North America (Nova Scotia) during the Medieval Warming Period roughly 950-1260; about 500 years before Columbus "discovered" the New World. It was during this period of "global warming" that the northern oceans became ice free for the first time in centuries. This period of "warming" allowed the Vikings to colonize and grow crops in previously frozen areas of Greenland and Nova Scotia. During that period, the North West Passage, the northern most route to the Pacific, was also ice free; and it is believed by many historians and researchers that the Vikings actually passed from the Atlantic to the Pacific in their "Long Ships" and explored the West Coast as far south as California. Ah...those were the days when men were men! After the passing of about 360 years, the cold temps, ice and snow returned and the tough Norsemen were forced to abandon their colonies as crops could no longer be grown or cattle grazed. You know, it's all about the "Big Picture" - not about dissecting some micro-spec on a timeline miles long.

To say that the climate is always changing and so there is no problem is incomplete thinking! The question is whether humans are affecting the natural processes that would normally occur. In particular, are we causing the climate to change faster than it would otherwise? If humans cause the climate to change in 100 years as much as it would normally change in 50,000 years (or more!) -- might not that be a problem?

Jack Gray I was first told about climate change by one of my primary school teachers in the 60’s, he MUST have been a part of the early Ecology Movement to be that aware back then. He said scientists didn’t know if the pollution would trap the heat and cause a greenhouse effect, or the opposite and stop the Suns heat from passing into our atmosphere, thereby causing an Ice Age instead. Back then in the 60’s it wasn’t obvious which way it would go, as we was still getting regular heavy Snowfalls in winter in London. But since the 80’s it has become obvious that CO2 and other ghg gasses are trapping the heat and have caused a warming effect.

So yeah, let's find out if the world burns by letting the world burn. So the few remaining survivors can stand over the ashes and say "ha, the burning Earthers were right!".

Instead of waiting until the last coal is dug out and the last drop of petroleum is sucked out we'll change because of the risk of climate change.

We know a lot, but not near everything. Tens of thousands of variables, many of which we don't perfectly understand, many of which we can't possibly predict (such as solar activity), and a countless number of which are unknown ("countless" by definition). If your disingenuous question is the best response you've got, well, I don't know what to tell you. You obviously have no sense of the complexity and chaos of reality. "We know A, therefore B, therefore C"... and all the way through to Z. That's what you guys do, with no intuitive sense of how much complexity and unpredictability is added with each "therefore". Absolutely no sense of how totally in over your heads you are at C, let alone Z... It's ridiculous. But I'm a realist, and I know this won't get through to you.

Here are the Takeaways: 1. "The temperature of the earth is always changing. It's always going up or down." Which is why they had to change the Boogeyman from "The Coming Ice Age!" and "Global Warming!" to "Climate Change!" And yes, the exclamation points are part of the logos. 2. "By asking people to worry about whether it's going up or down you are immediately establishing dishonesty." 3. "The climate is always changing. It's nothing you have to prove. It always is happening. It's always has happened." Climate change is nothing new or unique or even alarming. 4. "So to make that [climate change] into something alarming seems a little bit weird." 5. "The trouble is, all of us scientists are government employees. Even if we're working for private universities. All research is supported by the government. As such, we are very sensitive to what politicians say and believe." 6. "You know when you hear a scientist say, "The science is settled," you know that person has stepped out of the science." 7. "How could do many people agree if it wasn't true," I think should be a red flag." 8. When it's conflated, "Temperature is changing. Climate is changing. Man played some role... With predictions of disaster that are clearly not connected to warming activities or anything else, leaving people with the thought that off the first part is true the second part must be true, is certainly not the case." 9. "Then to add insult to injury, to propose policies that would have nothing to do with any of it, but involve trillions of dollars in harm to many people, I think, is crossing over the line."

Some of the predictions of climate change include: an increase in the incidence of wildfires, glaciers retreating, rising sea levels, an increase in the number and severity of hurricanes, ocean temps increasing..... all have occurred. Lindzen is very accomplished. He has also taken large amounts of money from coal companies and the Cato Institute. He has also pushed back on the connection between smoking and lung cancer Back in the 90's George H. Bush and the GOP acknowledged that human activity contributed greatly to the change in climate. Exxon also produced an intensive study that also confirmed human activity and climate change. That should make us wonder what changed in the political discourse from the Right.

[@severnsea]

So basically you would rather believe a politician than a scientist? What if the other party had said those things, would you believe it then? How much money have those made that are promoting climate change? Even Greta Thunberg is now a millionaire (gives it all away but keeps a couple of million back for "expenses" apparently). There are many things that can be explained there that have nothing to do with global warming. Arson is known to be one of the biggest causes of wildfires, and "accidental" triggers like dropped cigarette ends. But you never hear that when they're reporting them on the news. Glaciers retreating? NASA said that the Antarctica was getting colder because the glaciers were growing. The earth is known to tilt slightly over time, that could be why temperatures change in different areas, why it's now colder in Antarctica and warmer in the North. Where I live the sea level has never changed, there are water level markers that are the same as they were when I arrived in the area 45 years ago. Maybe the sea level doesn't change where I am, who knows? Storms differ all the time, I remember the worst storm ever in the UK was in the 1950s when over 200 died. That was 70 years ago. I've seen the waves frozen as they came over the rails, that was 50 years ago. What he says makes a hell of a lot of sense, and I'll guarantee that in another 100 years nothing will have changed.

Some people make comments posing the terms "global warming" and "climate change" as if they were somewhat conflicting, a result of scientists having to tweak the terminology in order to adjust it to facts that don't fit. But "warming" is a mechanism/phenomenon, itself a climatic change, and it does not cause only warming evenly spread through the globe, but other forms of climatic changes (like weather patterns and even more localized cold weather, such as with weakened, fragmented polar vortexes). For those who think "climate change" was adopted trying to "fix things" that didn't fit warming, I suggest searching for what IPCC means and when it was coined. Regarding "cooling," although many blogs highlight some headlines on the popular press about it, it was a relatively minor scientific debate, and not exactly disputing the mainstream, only suggesting that particulate pollution presented the risk of not only attenuating the warming from added greenhouse gases, but even cooling. It was ultimately empirically proven to be false, and likely even highly disputed at the merely theoretical level, although the mechanism itself is also real and in fact modulates the planet's temperature.

[@Pistolita221]

Actually, Global Warming is the rise in global average temperature, while climate change refers to the ecological and hydrological disruptions. Both terms are still in use and refer to the effect of CO2, it's just that climate change encompasses significantly more of the issue than global warming.

There is little question of volcanoes and their effect on climate. It's been measured. We've measured the gases in the lava streaming from volcanoes. We've measured the gases in the atmosphere above and around active volcanoes. We know how much and what kind of gases come from volcanoes. If volcanoes were the cause of our global atmospheric carbon dioxide levels going from 300ppm in 1911 to 350ppm in 1988 to 400ppm in 2015 we would know it. Instead, we know it is not the reason. We know it is us. Humans mining billions of tons of carbon based fossil fuel and burning it every year. The cooling effect of Krakatoa was, as you stated, temporary. The warming effect of burning fossil fuels, as we have been (and deforestation), will make drastic changes over decades with lasting effects for many thousands of years. Taking billions of tons of a carbon out of the long term underground (millions of years) storage and putting it in our atmosphere and oceans where it will take millions of years to naturally return to below ground long term storage has consequences. You can see this in increasing glacial melt, drought, flooding and forest die off data every year. Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines did not negated all the efforts of man in trying to reduce emissions (carbon dioxide). If you look at the measured levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere 1991 is just one step in the ladder. Below is 20 years of data from the Mauna Loa Observatory with 1991 roughly in the center, 1981 340.12 0.12 1982 341.48 0.12 1983 343.15 0.12 1984 344.85 0.12 1985 346.35 0.12 1986 347.61 0.12 1987 349.31 0.12 1988 351.69 0.12 1989 353.20 0.12 1990 354.45 0.12 1991 355.70 0.12 1992 356.54 0.12 1993 357.21 0.12 1994 358.96 0.12 1995 360.97 0.12 1996 362.74 0.12 1997 363.88 0.12 1998 366.84 0.12 1999 368.54 0.12 2000 369.71 0.12 2001 371.32 0.12 No big jump on or shortly after 1991.
