Inside the mind of a climate change scientist | Corinne Le Quéré | TEDxWarwick

In a lighthearted but highly relevant talk, Corinne discusses the ever-pressing issue of climate change - from the perspective of a climate scientist who is no longer trying to convince you that the threat is real. Professor Corinne Le Quéré FRS is the Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and a Professor of Climate Change Science and Policy at the University of East Anglia. In 2017, she chaired the International Panel of the ‘Make the Planet Great Again’ campaign led by French President Emmanuel Macron, which awarded grants to outstanding climate scientists around the world. Le Quéré also initiates and directs the yearly update of the Global Carbon Budget, a publication by the Global Carbon Project which aims to inform readers about the latest developments in global and national carbon cycle changes. A member of the UK Committee on Climate Change and author of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Corinne has contributed to advances in the quantification of the causes and trends of atmospheric carbon dioxide as well as the use and development of carbon cycle models in carbon budgets. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I watched this to see what she had to say. It was difficult to actually figure out where she stood on "climate change" since she was all over the map in terms of content. She talked about literature; she talked about 100,000 year old ice, her kids, gin & tonic; she imitated penguins; she made witty comments then laughed at her own witticisms; talked about electric cars, engineers; and she talked about the fact she was not going to try to change your mind. What she didn't talk about was actual facts about what is really going on with our climate. If you ARE interested watch on KZbin a number of lectures and interviews given by scientists who DO give you the facts about climate change, carbon dioxide and where our planet may be headed e.g. Dr. William Happer physicist (Princeton), Dr. Willie Soon Astro physicist (Harvard Smithsonian); Dr. Freeman Dyson theoretical physicist ( Princeton); Dr. Tim Ball PhD in Climatology MIT; and Dr. Patrick Moore PhD in Ecology...........watch Dr. Moore's Lecture entitled "Climate Realism" and the brief follow up to it called " What's the End Game of the Climate Scare".

Even humans breathe out CO2 at a level 10 times the ambient current air level of ppm! Submariners live in an atmosphere of 4000ppm for months on end without any harmful effects! You should be reading and listening to Dr. Patrick Moore, Prof. William Happer, Prof. Ian Plimer, and others that have studied the climate and all aspects of how the planet has behaved over millions of years, rather than just the events of the last century and try and blame it all on the human race!

Let's hope they have this data in their minds: Globally the ACE index (accumulated cyclone energy) 1980-2021 shows no increasing trend. Global Hurricane Landfalls 1970-2021 (updated from Weinkle et al, 2012) shows no trend. Satellite data since 1980 shows a slight downward global trend for total hurricaine numbers with 2021 being a record low year. The IPCC reports in AR6, chapter 11, "The total global frequency of TC [tropical cyclone] formation will decrease or remain unchanged with increasing global warming (medium confidence)." Not that I really care about what the IPCC says. Multidecadal variability in Atlantic hurricaines is most probably related to the AMO (Vecchi et al, 2021). NOAA data 1851-2021 shows no trend in number of hurricaine landfalls with the record high being 1886. What the data from NOAA SPC shows about tornados: EF1-EF5 (1954-2022) no trend; EF3-EF5 (most destructive) (1954-2022) 50% decline. No EF5s in US since 2013 (a record absence). The Global Land Precipitation Anomaly from AR5 will disappoint with deviations from the average increasing by 0.2% per decade, but if you look at the actual data, it's just very variable over the decades. Drought appears to be decreasing globally (Watts et al, 2018) measured by SPI 1901-2017. For every million people on earth, annual deaths from climate-related causes (extreme temperature, drought, flood, storms, wildfires) declined 98%--from an average of 247 per year during the 1920s to 2.5 in per year during the 2010s. Data on disaster deaths come from (EM-DAT, CRED / UCLouvain, Brussels,Belgium. ) Globally 2000-2019 there was a large decrease in cold-related deaths and a moderate increase in heat-related deaths (Zhao, 2021, Lancet). However, coldwaves are over 9 times more likely to kill than heatwaves, so the overall result is very beneficial. What else? Oh, deserts like the Sahara have shrunk considerably and the Earth has greened by 15% or more in a human lifetime (NASA). The Great Barrier Reef's coral cover has reached the greatest extent ever recorded. On extinction the rate is very low: 900 known lost species for 2.1 million known species in 500 years. At that frequency it will take over 930,000 years to reach 80% extinction of species experienced at the K-T boundary that saw the extinction of the dinosaurs. There is no climate crisis.

If you believe in religion you are a large part of humanity, no matter which religious beliefs you have. I do not believe that there's any kind of God which puts me in the minority. My point is that if part of your argument could be that there has to be a religious God because the majority believe it is so than based on that thinking, you would be in the minority about climate change since something like 97% of scientist believe in climate change. Actually, man-made climate change. Or there is a world-wide conspiracy. GOOD THINKING!!!

We live in an interglacial ice age the Holocene. The current interglacial period is older than other similar periods. If there is a trend we are due for more cooling. 20th century rates of warming: 1910-1940 - 0.5° per 30 yrs 1940 to 1980 there was cooling 1980-2000 - 0.4° per 30 yrs (lower rate) Previous rates were much higher: 1326 bc global warming rate: 1.4° per century 6440 bc global warming rate: 1.9° per century 9620 bc global warming rate 100° per century. This is the start of the Holocene interglacial. The rate was more than 111x that of late 20th century rate. 1817 bc 50° per century Medieval Global Warm Period 1100's to 1300's The MGWP was 0.25° warmer than today Vikings grew crops in Greenland and had settlements on the coast of northern Canada.

a system as complex as climate of the planet can not be dependent on a single factor co2 that is 0.04% of atmosphere gases. what caused the Greenland to be habitable from 900 to 1300 when vikings farmed there? the clouds are clearly more effective at reflecting sun light in the day time and trapping heat at night time. if its a cloudy day is colder if its a cloudy night is warmer. what happens when it gets warmer? how did we come to the conclusion that is gonna be bad? more co2 is good for plants and we cannot stop the way we live to emit less co2 because that may cost us more then the climate problems if there are any.

Wait, what's wrong with eating animals (as far as climate change is concerned), do they extract ancient carbon from the ground or something? It always bothers me when a scientist doesn't understand something as simple as the carbon cycle. Plants take up carbon in the form of CO2, animals eat the plants and release the carbon as CO2 and methane, the methane then oxidizes back to CO2 after about 10 years, cycle finished.....no new carbon.

[@bradhicks4057]

A cow on overage releases between 70 and 120 kg of Methane per year. Methane is a greenhouse gas like carbon dioxide (CO2). But the warming effect on the climate of Methane is 23 times higher than the effect of CO2. Therefore, the release of about 100 kg Methane per year for each cow is equivalent to about 2’300 kg CO2 per year. Let’s compare this value of 2’300 kg CO2: The same amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) is generated by burning 1’000 liters of petrol. With a car using 8 liters of petrol per 100 km, you could drive 12’500 km per year (7’800 miles per year). Add in the deforestation, for grazing and feed production plus transportation.
