THE GREAT DEBATE ON CLIMATE CHANGE

[@wouldbegood]

Why are there so few climate debates? Most of the videos that come up when searching climate change are 4 minute videos showing an animation of CO2 particles bouncing radiation back to Earth but no charts and graphs.

[@scuddyleblanc8637]

CO2 levels on earth came close to reaching a point where plants could no longer grow. The earth is recovering from a very low level of carbon dioxide. Plants prefer a much higher level of carbon dioxide. The earth has become greener and crops more productive as temperature and CO2 level rise. In most cases, temperatures on earth increased prior to increases in CO2. CO2 is a relatively weak greenhouse gas, as compared to the influence of water vapor.

[@PeterOzanne]

Higher temperatures - an effect of higher CO2 and other gases - are causing soil infertility, desertification, danger to outdoor farmers, and loss of crops due to flooding, so the overall effect is not beneficial. It actually causes conflict and mass-migration.

Werner Heisenberg was a German scientist who is known for, among other things, "The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The premise of this theory is that it is difficult/impossible to know, with certainty, even the measureable results from an experiment, since the monitoring devices (in this case climate scientists) always alter the results. Is it naive to believe scientists asking the advanced democracies to pay $250 trillion to limit global warming because we trust them to be above our natural self importance, poor judgement and self serving that afflicts most of us?

The only model that has been accurate as of 2023 was a russian one, it predicted vastly lower temp increases and is pretty close to observed data which is same as always a slow upward trend hardly noticable.

[@PeterOzanne]

@@silverdale3207 Most of the climate scientists have also predicted a gradual upward trend, but when we/they say "gradual", we mean about a quarter degree every ten years, which is what it is now. Actually, compared with previous ages that is VERY FAST. Do you know the idea of the "boiling frogs"? The story is that, if you put frogs into boiling water, they jump right out again - because they instantly notice the difference. BUT, if you put them in cold water, and heat it VERY slowly, they don't notice the gradual change, stay in the water, and boil to death. That's why so many people aren't worried about warming - it's not much difference from one year to the next, and sometimes you get a couple of slightly cooler years.

[@Andy-wn6wm]

If you knew climate change mathematics you'd know Logarithmic Relationship: The logarithmic relationship between CO2 and temperature is based on the fact that the warming effect of each additional unit of CO2 decreases as CO2 concentrations increase. In other words, doubling the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere does not double the warming effect. The warming of the early part of the 20th century was to do with human ghg emissions. It was the principle driver along with natural variability at the time such as decrease volcanic activity and increased sunspots. The 1940s - 1970s did indeed show a modest reversal of the warming despite rising ghg emissions. This coincides with natural -NAO and ENSO cycles conducive to cooler temperatures. There was also a huge amount of sulphur dioxide released after the industrial output increasing massively after the war increasing solar reflectivity further dampening the CO2 forcing. To put in perspective the 1945 - 1970s 'cooling' still yields a temperature anomaly estimating +0.3 C against the 'colder' 19th century - 1800's average.

[@nyoodmono4681]

@@Andy-wn6wm You are making assumptions. Neiher it is certain that "The warming of the early part of the 20th century was to do with human ghg emissions." nore that the naturual forcings are as certain as. "...warming despite rising ghg emissions. This coincides with natural -NAO and ENSO cycles conducive to cooler temperatures. There was also a huge amount of sulphur dioxide .." This is all a huge uncertainty dillema. Basicly it makes no sense in the first place that the global temperature changes several degrees if you change a trace gas from 0,03% to 0,06% in the atmosphere. these are total out of proportion assumed energy forcings. The carbon cycle is not certain either. The ipcc mentions the uncertainty in flora and ocean CO2 sinks. In the past ice ages way more CO2 was absorbed by cool oceans. It could mean that we with our human share are not able to raise the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. The logarythmic nature you mentioned.. Did you try to apply that eariler or later? What is when you start the logarythmic calculation with 2ppm already and why would you start at 280ppm? The whole logarythmic aspect has uncertainties in itself. So called Saturation of CO2, Schwarzschild et al.. "To put in perspective the 1945 - 1970s 'cooling' still yields a temperature anomaly estimating +0.3 C against the 'colder' 19th century - 1800's average." You need to put in perspective that you are taking the end of the little ice age, an unusual cold period in the whole holocene, as the baseline. Then you assume that 0,3° is still something out of the norm. Truth is we do not know. UNCERTAINTY and UNKNOWNS.

What surprises me is that Theo Vermaelen doesn't push back immediately on the nonsense from Paul Dubrule, that "..TEN OF THE HOTTEST YEARS EVER are in the last decade..." We all know that the 1930s - especially 1934 (which was the hottest) - was far hotter than what we have now. Why is this "ten hottest years" rubbish not refuted? This really weakens Vermaelen's position; and apparently strengthens that of Dubrule... Paul Dubrule's use of Pascale's Wager (a tired, old trick) is a stupid argument, anyway. It says that even if the science is screwy, we should go along with it, "just in case"... Rational Points: While nitrogen's contribution is 78%; and oxygen's 21%, CO2 represents 0.04% of the atmosphere. Of that - 1.3% represents mankind's contribution Of the 400ppm CO2, humans' contribution is 5.2ppm ...and according to the IPCC, Our CO2 is responsible for ALL of the warming, so those 5.2 molecules (0.00052% of the atmosphere) drive the whole world's temperatures upward and we're all going to die...? Besides the logical- and scientific impossibility of such an assertion, we know that there is ZERO 'correlation' between carbon dioxide and temperatures. Al Gore uses his phoney 800,000-year 'correlation' graph to imply that CO2 does drive temperatures - the correspondence between the two traces do indeed appear to suggest this, but in the same sentence, professor Gore also mentions that the relationship is "complicated", without explaining what this "complication" is... It's even possible - actually, very, very likely - that professor Gore doesn't understand this "complicated relationship". However, those who DO understand it, point out that if we zoom in on the data, we see a clear correlation - and that it's the TEMPERATURE driving the CO2 - not the other way around. The temperature rise is followed - not "sometimes", but EVERY TIME - by the CO2 rise, by many hundreds of years (from 800- to 1200 years). This point having been established - and, of course, ignored by the alarmists - we should see no more of its being used as a valid argument, but that's wishful thinking. The earth is NOT prevented from freezing, or from a 'default black-body temperature of by the presence of any 'greenhouse' gas. The surface air temperature results from the COMPRESSION of the atmosphere at the surface

Rob Manzoni Hold on! Of the 400 PPM CO2, humans only contribute 1.3% of that ?!? What ?!? Can you please link me something that will show me this. Genuinely interested. Thanks.

the science is unsettled or there would be no debate, and has been proven that the models that are used are flawed, just like when he said about the ocean temps and the rising level, the true fact is there is no climate emergency, the eart is not dying,and places like florida or not going to flood with water in a few years
