Very well presented and a good argument. Now that over a year has gone by it would be good to see a catchup for comparison. Near the end you mention the fact we need to reforest large swathes and stop the clearing of forested areas. All very good advice. But here's the rub. I'm in Australia and some would say we have a greater footprint per capita than many countries which may well be true. Those educated among us will say they are all doing their bit to undo the damage done by the farmers of this country who cleared the land for food crops, grazing, etc as has happened in every country of the world. But in my little street (dirt road because it is a rural area) the blocks were owned by rural people who had a few cows or horses or did nothing except watch the birds in the trees. Then those people got old and sold their blocks to city people with a heap of money who wanted a tree change. But as soon as they got out here they didn't want the trees anymore because they blocked their view or a tree might fall down or a fire might come through. So they cleared all the trees which left the land denuded, full of weeds and the wildlife had nowhere to live anymore. I have watched each block get cleared over the last 5yrs until mine is the only bush block left along this road servicing around 3000acres of what used to be natural bush that never burnt and which was full of wildlife and rare flowers. Same story basically everywhere. These are the same people who whinge about climate change, demand every country pull its weight, insist on recycling even when it just goes to landfill anyway, buy every conceivable piece of Chinese made plastic junk, drive their kids all over the place in their new 4x4 and stick their heads in the sand saying they aren't the ones causing global warming. Then they get together and demand I deal with the fire hazards on my property (the trees and bushes) and tidy up my land in keeping with the rest of the street! But I'm not the one causing the problems! They are! They are the ones causing global warming, not me. I don't buy all that junk, I recycle within my property, grow organic food to sell, don't fiddle with the environment, don't drive all over the country whizzing kids left right and centre. So just because a person is apparently gentrified and educated, doesn't mean they don't also think the sun doesn't shine out their backside. I am educated in climate sciences. I mind my own business and get on with life and I do treat the earth respectfully and my footprint is very small, something those new city people should "Just Have A Think About" !!

The climate change pseudo scientists know this & always seek to make even more spurious reasons as to why the current fraud is different from previous warming periods - and it is different, nobody made appalling and fraudulent policies which tore down rainforests on previous occasions - nor did they decide that burning trees was a good way to reduce CO2...

@@tulukdek8898 I would suggest that if AMOC completely shut down then climatic changes, however disastrous, may not be the worst of our worries. AMOC not only redistributes heat around the Earth, but also sends oxygen from the atmosphere and ocean surface layers deep into the oceans. Without that oxygen, complex life in the depths will die, and the oceans will become anoxic and euxinic, as sulphur eating bacteria generate highly toxic hydrogen sulphide. The H2S would spread throughout the oceans and eventually escape to the atmosphere, destroying the ozone layer and poisoning complex terrestrial life as well. We cannot live on a planet with a dead ocean.

Actually it is less than a century old. Virtually all of the actual measurable data (that bit that is measurable, which does not mean the same as reliable) dates from the last forty years (now, I remember when it was only the last 25 years). That starting point (~1980) was picked with care because if we go a bit over five years earlier, then the Arctic ice cap in the summer resembles the modern "global warming caused" one today. Heck they cannot even keep their story straight in less than a year's time. Record breaking snowfall on Greenland increases the weight of the icepack, which then, to alleviate the stress, has a summer with faster moving glaciers (get jello, put it on a plate, press lightly, then press heavily, same mechanism) and more runoff melt. All we get to hear about is that the Greenland icepack had a record runoff, not the cause of the record snowfall and freezing. One fits AGCC the other fits actual observable and repeatable science.

That's a good question. When the surveys were done the assumption was Solar activity was the only real cause. Why? Energy calculations of the amount of energy required versus the solar variation and the correlation seemed to fit. Now the argument of ecological degradation due to human activity has some validity. Again is it a sole cause or a contributor to the natural variation. That's the real point that ecological studies focus on. Are our overall activities skewing the natural variations? The answer seems to be in the global sense as being: maybe. Local effects can actually be readily observed. Heat domes over major urban areas is one.

And also why are the Sahel on North Africa having its wettest summer in 200 years. Antarctic pack ice amount this year 2020 was the best in decades.

That is until they start suffering massive droughts and crop loss from lack of rain. But when it all reaches that level, it will be too late. As always, it isn't anyones business until it affects them directly.

[@bobyoung1698]

I thought I knew how this worked but your deeper dive into the intricacies of ocean currents has heightened my concern about Earth's future climate.

[@doobidoo095]

CO2 at 0.04% is a 2,500th of the atmosphere. That means to warm the climate by just 1"C carbon dioxide molecules must capture 2500"C of heat energy. That is bonkers. It also breaks all the laws of thermodynamics. Methane at 0.00017% is a 600,000th of the atmosphere so it's even more bonkers. However, the climate is changing. This is because of deliberate geoengineering programmes, in particular ozone thinning away from the poles. Though largely unreported ozone thinning effect is directly observable, this summer you can see a unnaturally bright sun just as we did last year. Under these conditions the pain felt when looking at the sun is not only from the increase in visible light but the much larger increase in infrared. (Look up at the sky and you will see a range of geoengineering operations in progress, these include chemtrail induced cloud or hazing, ripple patterns caused by HAARP installations, bizarre and unnatural cloud formations). Climate change is a programme to force change in accordance with the implementation of Agenda 21 /2030. Current events demonstrate this transition is well underway and will involve massive population cull through injected nanotech (re transhumanist programme). Agenda 21 also sees the permanent loss of all property rights with the introduction of universal basic income (ref NESARA/GESARA) and has/is being promoted by The World Economic Forum. 'You will own nothing and you will be happy' WEF In a depopulated world the surviving brainwashed and controlled population will be confined to mega cities. Carbon limits will be used to restrict consumption and liberty. Meanwhile the re-greened wilderness will be the exclusive playground of the ultra rich elite posing as conservationists. The CO2 hoax amounts to the theft of the world and the enslavement of humanity by a parasitic few. Welcome to the future! _________ I have included a debunking of 'accumulated heat' as it is so often used to explain how trace elements, so called 'greenhouse gasses', can warm the planet. Accumulated heat whilst sounding a reasonable explanation of how heat can build up is rather nothing more than gobbledygook. In fact it shows those using such arguments do not even understand what heat is. When we measure temperature we are measuring the heat energy a thing is losing. In short heat is a measurement of flow, the transfer of heat energy and this will always be in the direction towards the colder. For this reason a thing can never 'accumulate heat' in the way those advocating CO2 climate change describe. The temperature of a body is the measure of heat output, it can never be greater than the measure of heat input. Output = input. When a thing is warmed it is heated to an equivalent of the heat input. If this input is not maintained it will cool. Those that propose that heat can build up to be hotter than the total measure of heat input at a given time either do not understand what heat is or are being deliberately misleading. To illustrate, an object being heated by a flame can never become hotter than that flame, it's temperature cannot rise inexorably to the temperature of the sun for instance. Heat cannot be accumulated. When we think about it common sense tells us this must be the case. NASA and even Nobel Prize winning physicists have expounded 'accumulated heat' as the explanation how CO2 is able to warm the atmosphere. They claim that over hundreds of years CO2 has captured heat energy and this heat has 'accumulated' to produce a serious warming effect. As I have just explained, this is totally impossible and fundamentally violates all the laws of thermodynamics. That respected scientists should support such uneducated, unthinking nonsense is disturbing and only reflects that in terms of being able to think clearly about a subject they have no facility or inclination. These are the Dark Ages of science. Belief has outweighed logic or any critical thought. It tells us that we should not unquestioningly accept anything we are told, that experts can be fools. (NB: be aware of attempts to discard thermodynamics by talking about biology. Eg. 'It only takes a drop of arsenic to kill a person.' This would be somewhat desperate, muddled thinking. Clearly biological processes based on the reaction of a cell are not the same as the laws of physics/thermodynamics).

I'm not convinced reducing our carbon commissions at this point is going to change the likelihood of a rapid reduction in the AMOC. IN fact, since I first studied this at Colorado School of Mines, I've become convinced that the slowdown is greater than we are measuring or modeling. The problem being the newness of the theory and insufficient datum from historical sources including the oceanic winds. Many of us engineering types know there is no way to model this complex of a chaotic open system in the first place and as soon as enough constraints are incorporated into the models all we have left is a graduate student exercise. Then there is the microbial load of the oceans and how much the make up of emissions of gases are changing with the chemistry of the oceans. Solar variances as well are hard to model. In summery I think the entire system has and is slowing more that modeled and the shutdown event is more on the order of decades than centuries. We are overdue by many estimates for the end of the inter-glacial period.

Doing this would also offset the production of thermal radiation caused by evaporative and air-air cooling systems (a/c units) which also contribute to the heat island effect.

And no, Skippy, ants are not "carbon neutral", ants are animals just like all the others and they fix oxygen, liberate CO2 and there is absolutely nothing that ants do that fixes any CO2...at all whatsoever. Water vapor is the culprit, the main greenhouse gas and human beings produce absolutely zero % of atmospheric water vapor. Furthermore global CO2 levels are 40% below what is optimal for plant growth, we should by trying to produce more CO2, not less. A blue water even is inevitable because the true causes of temperature variation are cyclical in nature and cannot be stopped, particularly the passage of the solar system through galactic dust lanes which block so much sunlight that, were it not for the giants, mainly Jupiter, life on the Earth would never have occurred. Blue water in the arctic means tropical weather up to about the 35th parallel...the planet will turn into a garden paradise and remain so for tens of thousands of years.

[@langhamp8912]

Yes, this always come up during ecological classes and presentations, and the effects of salt pollution are profound, both at the local level and at global oceanic levels. Salt by itself isn't necessarily ecologically dangerous by itself, but since salt is heavily used during industrial mining then the resulting sludge can be quite deadly. Places like W Virginia don't increase oceanic salinity because they are far from the ocean, but places like Montana do. However, salt is usually deposited in oceans simply by water running over mineral deposits, such as you would see in rivers as they cut through the ground. Indeed, our oceans used to be fresh water and they gradually became saltier. Eventually, they will be become too salty to support life. Since most of the Earth's surface was once under water at one time or another, it follows that human irrigation forces that salt to the surface. While in some places like Iowa, excess salt can be dispersed, in other places like most of Australia irrigated land starts an irreversible process of salt contamination, upon which no crops will grow.

[@Salsuero]

I don't think you understand the size of the oceans. The salt that runs off our roads... you really don't get just how big these oceans are if you think we're making them saltier. One glacier breaks off in the Antarctic and probably undoes all salt we've ever added to the oceans by an exponent.

[@langhamp8912]

@@Salsuero Well, maybe he's asking about salt pollution. Civilizations have risen and fallen from salt pollution. And it's really really easy to do by mistake, and it's irreversible, and it's always caused by irrigation. You put a little bit of water on soil, and the salt rises to the surface via capillary action. Every ecologist knows this, which is why you find them constantly yelling at farmers not to irrigate this and that. Places that heavily rely on irrigation flooding such as the Nile and the Mekong don't get salt pollution because the vast quantities of water wash away the salt on a regular basis, but dammed places such as Northern Mississippi do occasionally until they break their levies in which case they have bigger problems. Places like New Orleans which depend on levies to keep salt water ocean out get one chance...and then their flood contaminates utterly their fresh water.

During the Jurassic period the co2 levels where 5x higher and o2 where much higher methane levels where much higher but not as high as some politicians pump out The world was tropical with moderate poles

[@Tengooda]

"moderate poles"?? The poles were free of permanent ice in the Jurassic, which, if we were foolish enough to allow that to happen in the future would mean sea levels 70 meters higher than at present, along with anoxic and euxinic oceans and a mass extinction, having caused the most rapid change in atmospheric and ocean chemistry and temperature in global history.

[@Tengooda]

@Charles Young You can shout expletives all you like, Charles, but you merely demonstrate thereby your ignorance and your unwillingness to learn. It is a fact that, as a result of human activities, atmospheric CO2 levels over the last century or so have increased faster than any known time in Earth's history, including previous mass extinctions. Previous mass extinctions, the worst of which was the end-Permian 252 million years ago, were caused by rapid increases in atmospheric CO2 (itself caused by a massive increase in volcanic activity) resulting in global warming. That global warming resulted in warming of the surface layers of the ocean, which reduced ocean currents (the subject of the above video), reducing the amount of oxygen in the oceans and leading to anoxia and euxinia (toxic hydrogen sulphide production). The end result was the extinction of over 90% of marine species and around 70% of terrestrial species. Joe started off by stating that previous times have seen higher levels of CO2 and thus temperature, (which is true), as if we could move to such times without difficulty. But that conclusion is completely false. As well as the destruction of all coastal cities and ports and much of the world's best agricultural land by sea level rise, such a move would undoubtedly precipitate a catastrophic mass extinction event. To contemplate such horrors simply because we can't be bothered to change to clean energy systems is complete madness, and to resist such change because you can't be bothered to learn the truth about global warming is irresponsible and foolish.

@Charles Young You think that half the major cities on Earth can just "move inland" - that is waaaaayyyyy beyond stupid fella

[@Tengooda]

@@benlewis7686 Because the different emissions from volcanoes effect the Earth's heat balance in different ways that last differing amounts of time. Those emissions are as follows: 1. Carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a greenhouse gas and is only slightly soluble in water. Thus, much of the emissions of CO2 (whether from volcanoes or humans burning fossil fuels, or whatever source) remain in the atmosphere for a very long time - centuries or millennia. CO2 is slowly removed by oceans and terrestrial vegetation and by weathering of silicate rocks. So, if you have a situation of increased volcanic activity lasting centuries and longer, CO2 in the atmosphere will gradually increase and with it global warming. 2. Sulphur dioxide, SO2, is very soluble in water and reacts with it to form sulphurous acid, H2SO3: SO2 + H2O => H2SO3 Sulphurous acid then rapidly reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulphuric acid, H2SO4: 2H2SO3 + O2 => 2H2SO4 The H2SO4 also has a strong affinity for water and produces tiny spherical droplets of sulphuric acid solution that will not evaporate even in situations where water itself would do so. These spherical droplets act like cats' eyes - they reflect incoming sunlight back out into space, thus reducing the amount reaching the Earth, thus causing cooling. However, they are denser than air and will continue to attract water molecules so, even if the volcano blasts the SO2 into the stratosphere, they will fall back to Earth within a year or so at most as rain. 3. Volcanic ash also blocks sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, causing cooling, and likewise settles out of the atmosphere after a year or so. So, in summary, the CO2 causes warming and lasts for a long time. However, the amount of CO2 a single volcano emits produces very little warming - it requires a massive increase in vulcanism lasting thousands of years to cause a global warming spike. SO2 and ash cause much more intense cooling, and a single volcano can cause significant global cooling - but that only lasts for a year or so.

[@MrTommyboy68]

OK. Obviously you slept through elementary school science. Hence, the WARMER the weather in winter, the MORE SNOW FALLS. Warmer atmosphere holds MORE MOISTURE than COLDER atmosphere and henceforth LESS SNOW IN COLDER WEATHER. Having grown up outside of Philadelphia in the '60's and 70's, our BIGGEST SNOWSTORMS hit when the temp was between 28 to 32 degrees. Snowfalls when the temps were 20 degrees or lower, we had snow, but it was not NEARLY AS HEAVY. So the warmer the air temp, the MORE MOISTURE IT HOLDS.
