      The fossil fuel industry has its tendrils in so many aspects of modern civilisation, and in every government around the world.
      Factor in the huge disinformation and obfuscation campaigns they have run over the last 3 decades to poison the discourse in the public domain, and we arrive at the extremely dangerous result of the current situation.
      Shell has had drilling plans since 10+ years ago for when the arctic *no longer has any ice at all*...
      If humans are still drilling for more oil to burn when the arctic no longer has any ice, we have absolutely no chance at all. It is indescribably insane and is an ultimate example of the issue with commercial interests being allowed to pursue value for their investors regardless of the public interest and at huge detriment (and inevitable death and violence) to everyone and everything else.

      Well, the science isn't political. But all the proposed solutions are. And some of them might work. But some are extremely unlikely to work and are just a waste of (often taxpayers') money. Some are just virtue signaling for proflt (companies claiming they're "green"). Some are outright scams (the recent explosion of "green" scams that crowdfund tons of money and then produce nothing or smth completely useless). Some solutions are so drastic that they'd cause mass unemployment, poverty, and starvation. And some people propose reducing the human population by mass genocides, sterilization programs, and draconian laws on family planning.
      So this is why it's highly political and controversial topic. Because everything we can do about it is highly political and controversial. Even if the science behind it isn't.

      I've been around awhile, long enough that I've seen this show before. What we're seeing now with global warming is the same pattern we've seen with every profitable threat to civilization that's come along in the last couple hundred years. Take whatever deniers are saying about climate change right now and substitute lead, asbestos, DDT, PCB's, CFC's, tobbaco, seat belts, etc. It's like an old fashioned madlibs where you have blanks to write in whatever word you want. The crucial difference here is that rather than the suffering and dying end after lobbying and disinfo makes society drag its feet on the latest threat to public health, the damage done by climate change is frontloaded. If we manage to get this under control, the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere will continue to increase climate instability for generations to come.

And maybe etch a sketch the ability for complex life for millions of years. Point being, much as i love George, thinking in cosmic timescales isn't really helpful when we are choosing to wipe out the only known life in the universe on a day by day basis, and could chose not to. It's kind of a cop out for not bothering to change because it requires nothing of us today.

      More Than 1,600 Scientists Declare Apocalyptic Global Warming a Myth
      BY ANDREW MIILLER • SEPTEMBER 3, 2023
      Acoalition of 1,609 scientists and professionals have signed a declaration stating they “strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy” being pushed around the globe. The declaration, published on August 14 by the Global Climate Intelligence Group, states:
      Natural as well as human factors cause warming.
      Warming is far slower than predicted.
      Climate policy relies on inadequate models.
      CO2 is plant food (the basis of all life on Earth).
      Global warming has not increased natural disasters.
      Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities.
      The most recent signatory of the declaration is Dr. John F. Clauser, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on entangled photons.
      Red environmentalism: Burning fossil fuels may have some limited effect on global temperatures, but it’s hard to tell because repeated scientific fraud has clouded the issue. Reasonable people want clean air, water and soil for themselves and others, so radical central planners are highly motivated to mix concern for the environment in with their socialist ideology. This strategy also makes socialist activists, journalists and politicians highly motivated to hijack and exaggerate concerns about the environment to literally doomsday-level proportions.
      When a course of action (such as soil remediation) would help the environment but do nothing for the socialist agenda, they ignore it. When a course of action would hurt the environment (such as giving a pass to the world’s biggest polluter, which happens to be Communist), they go for it.
      Deadly distraction: What you see in the news isn’t a may-the-best-facts-win scientific debate. It is the result of manipulation designed to frighten people into surrendering their God-endowed rights to a central planning committee.
      Many scientists scoff at the notion that God controls the weather, but the book of Job states that God balances the vapors of the clouds and warms the Earth with a south wind (Job 37:16-17). God commands the clouds to do His will, whether for mercy or for correction (verses 12-13). Psalm 148 shows this understanding of God’s power, stating, “Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word” (verse 8). Such passages confirm that God controls the sun and balances the gases that compose the clouds. They also confirm that God sends fire and stormy winds to fulfill His promises.

      Not specifically about the graph, but building new nuclear isn't as tractable as it seems. At this point, new reactors are too expensive to build, and will take too long to be operational to make the difference they need to make, with the lengthy construction process continuously emitting lots of carbon dioxide from concrete and transport requirements.
      For generation, renewables are cheaper, and quicker to build. As for the energy security problem from weather fluctuations, I think nuclear is a red herring solution for the reasons above, and what needs to be done is further investment and research into new energy storage.

    • @neocosmopolis
      @neocosmopolis Рік тому +22

      Nuclear could be useful long term, but the time it takes given the process of getting them started means that they are not useful immediate solutions. It would require some more immediate solutions simultaneous to getting nuclear going. Personally, I agree that nuclear would be very useful, additionally, it would be amazing if Fusion technology produces results relatively soon. However, we still need to phase out carbon emitting sources as quick as we can so slow down the rate of change. For now only stuff like solar and wind can help mitigate that until we get more nuclear and other sources. The biggest hurdle to nuclear is finding places where the locals will let you build one. I agree that its frustrating that there doesn't seem to be more effort on the nuclear path. Although given Fukushima, Chernobyl, and recent concerns regarding the nuclear plant in Ukraine under Russian occupation could all contribute to politicians seeing nuclear as a being politically "radioactive."

    I'm always frustrated by explanations of the Milankovitch cycles, because people generally do not complete the explanation of how they cause glaciations. The whole point, is that deep ice caps can only form on land, not on ocean, and the Arctic is an ocean surrounded by land. The shore of the Arctic ocean averages around 70 degrees North, and the furthest southern extent of the ice caps averaged around 50 degrees North, so what is important to the formation of the large continental glaciers during glacial periods, is the intensity of summer insolation between 50 and 70 degrees north. That is what varies according to the Milankovitch cycles. During period of low summer insolation, mountain top ice caps in those latitudes begin to expand, snow melts later in spring, arctic ice takes longer to melt, all of which trigger a feedback mechanism where the higher albedo of ice and snow reflects more sunlight, cooling the climate even further. What is critical is the intensity and duration of sunlight from about early May to early August between about 50 and 70 degrees North.

      Of course, now, human greenhouse gases are overwhelming these cycles & other forcings. CO2 released by burning fossil fuels; methane created by rice & excess meat production; nitrous oxides from fossil fuel-derived fertilizers; industrial gases like chlorofluorocarbons; & as a feedback once those have started things, water vapor.

      0.5 +- 1 w/m**2 8% Milankovitch cycles orbital eccentricity, axial tilt &
      precession of the equinoxes changes
      forcing (what pulled the trigger that started it)
      3.5 +- 1 w/m**2 53% ice sheets & vegetation changes albedo-change feedback
      1.8 +- 0.3 w/m**2 27% CO2 change feedback
      0.4 +- 0.1 w/m**2 6% CH4 change feedback
      0.4 +- 0.1 w/m**2 6% N2O change feedback
      :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
      6.6 +- 1.5 w/m**2 total
      The 6.6 w/m**2 total required 7.4 degrees global surface warming to balance it out due to H2O gas +ve feedback & cloud changes +ve feedback.

The another is that, although the Earth has been hotter in the past, if global warming goes out of control this will undoubtedly have a potentially catastrophic impact on our society. Life will exist, us, well, maybe, but in a deplorable state. Our civilization is extremely fragile to this and that is somehow demoralizing.

Only 4% of that excess heat derives from our _present_ use of energy. The other 96% comes from the accumulated greenhouse gases emitted in the past few centuries.
    But *note that nearly 50% of ALL greenhouse gases emissions have occurred in just the past 30 years!* That ominous trend is what makes the "climate problem" into a CLIMATE CRISIS. Humanity MUST take immediate, large-scale action to deal with the excess heat itself, while we continue to whittle away at greenhouse gas emissions.
    At the same time, we cannot suddenly slash energy use, or billions of people will die. First they will be dying from starvation, then from migration, then from the resulting wars... *Wars that will affect EVERYONE.*

      On top of that, why should it just be climate science which is the subject of mistrust because of malpractice or fraud in unrelated areas of science? Why not be on the fence about the germ theory of disease, or the laws of gravity, or of the existence of almost anything discovered or explained by science?
      I understand mistrust, because people do terrible things all the time, but I don't understand it if it's applied arbitrarily. If there are instances of fraud which undercut climate science then OK, there's a point there, but if its just that 'people are dishonest in other fields so why trust this one' then it doesn't make sense.

    Another cool note on how scientists calculate the global temperature through ice cores. Aside from being able to measure the gases trapped within the air bubbles, they can also actually approximate the temperature through looking at the water itself.There are a couple stable isotopes of oxygen, with the two most abundant being Oxygen-16 and Oxygen-18. As ocean temperature increases, the likelihood of a water molecule with an Oxygen-18 isotope vaporizing increases, so in turn, in the rain and snow you'll have increased amounts of Oxygen-18 water molecules. So by looking at the abundance of the 18o water molecules in ice cores, you can also infer what the average ocean temperature was.

We are handling it as a species very poorly indeed and it indicates the troubles ahead, especially when big business sends only to be fanning the flames or even instigating via manipulation and control of media etc. - another huge issue are the models used by climate scientists, limiting the rate of change within what are thought to be reasonable limits, only now to find the upper limit to be questioned as some evidence indicates the rate of global warming is faster than the models can deal with. That is, the global heating is actually occurring faster and measured to counteract this rise need to be applied faster. Governments are still playing catch up, partly due to fossil fuel corporations buying influence to maintain their own profits in the short term no matter how damaging the effect is for life on earth. - we have known about the potential for greenhousing our planet since Arrhenius and Tyndall, over a century ago and this is the real issue....

    While I’ve been immersed in this and in the comments it has generated, it has got dark. Its practically midnight here and, at this latitude, we can follow the path of the sun around the north, when we’re this close to the summer solstice. Due north from me, right now, there is a glorious blue haze with dark clouds slowly making their way across it from the west. Down at the horizon its a reddish yellow while directly overhead is onyx black, with twinkling dots of starlight.
    On the rare occasions when the weather allows this, it always makes ne feel the big picture is doing okay. Yes, the minutiae are going through an awkward phase, but mother nature is still in control of the important stuff. Nothing as calm and beautiful as this can be as bad as all that.

      That's the problem in this and in many other areas of science with political implications. There are very powerful groups, driven by despotic motivations, who are willing to fudge the numbers and the research in order to find an excuse to impose totalitarian rule and eliminate democratic institutions. These groups exert a lot of control over the funding of research that supports their agenda, and they have enough control over media and academe to suppress evidence contrary to their agenda. This distortion of data was blatant during the recent public health crisis, and it was obviously slanted in the direction of their stated goals. Al Gore began 30 years ago to advocate for censorship with regard to scientific discourse regarding the climate, and those crazies in Switzerland have been touting climate as a reason to enslave the people and to depopulate the planet (with them having ownership and control, of course) for decades. So it's an open question how much we should trust a scientific community that has vested financial interests in finding conclusions that comport with their donors' desired "scientific" outcomes.

First thing he says basically is "it sure is hot these days" but its not lol. He goes on later to say, the earth has gained 1° over 100 years. Not one person on earth can legitimately say they notice that its hotter these days without there being an almost perfectly even ammount of people saying its colder. Those people dont exist because of propaganda. But factually it must be the case that over the last 100 years its been colder in some places than usual. Or else the global average temperature would have risen more then 1°

Although it has an effect, it is negligible. The effects of the ocean storing all the extra energy trapped by man made greenhouse emissions are way way bigger. In addition, long term, this extra heat negatively affects the reflective ability of the planet, way more than urban areas do. That is because of the decrease in snowy and icy surfaces. So we also need to consider and measure places that are not urban and implement them in the global pile. In the bigger picture, the results are that the urban effect is just very small and negligible, compared to other effects.

      This year, our government came out with a report that the number of farmers taking climate change loans has grown 600% since 2020. Well, if you take out an agricultural loan and put climate change as a reason for it, you get ridiculously low interest rates with almost no monitoring of spending. Presuming that we're taking those loans because of climate change is pretty naive.

      The temperature differential between rural & urban areas you identified is a prime example. This is a well-known phenomenon called "urban heat islands" - and yet much of the time, the locations where temperatures are recorded are in or near these "heat islands", meaning that the temperatures logged as the official temperature is substantially higher than it is in reality when you're not surrounded by miles of concrete & steel. Every time you hear politicians & media puppets talk about how this is the hottest year on record and everything is getting way hotter and we're all gonna burn to a crisp, just remember that more often than not, they're citing temperatures that are perfectly normal and unremarkable for anyone outside cities.

We had the coldest and rainiest summer since at least 30 years or so, so they had to cancel this nonsensical tyranny.
      In general, all they did during the last years here in Germany was destroying jobs. First they flooded the country with migrants (which is illegal since they travelled from supposedly war-areas into other countries like Spain, Italy or Greece first, in which there is obviously NO war. The war treaty clearly states, that the first country which is not in war is responsible to take care of these people - I don't mean to say that we as Europeans shouldn't help each other out, but our politicians were putting it in a way as if the Germans were responsible to take care of all of these people. In the end, many of these people didn't even come from war areas and they threw away their passports to claim that they came from another country, which in some cases was ridiculous, because you could clearly see from skin colours for instance that someone came from Africa while claiming he came from Syria.)
      Then the American government destroyed the North Stream Pipelines, cutting us off from our main energy source.
      Now they force people to renovate their buildings to fit ridiculous energy standards, most people cannot afford this or will just get poorer from this.
      They force Germans to use 65% of renewable energy in any heating installation for private homes from next year on.
      In general, instead of convincing people, they rather use brute force, ridiculous laws and insane penalties, which is showing their totalitarian mindset. The EU is a communistic project, support big tech by introducing all kinds of stupid laws and regulations, which are killing all innovation and competition. The taxpayers are financing their own destruction and the money which is going to the gov is spread among the big tech companies which are lobbying in Brussels. It's a big "legal mafia" system and many people still think they care about the planet.
      In general, the German economy is the only one which is declining in Europe now. Many businesses are forced into moving out of Germany and the high energy costs, thanks to the destruction of the oil pipelines, just make running an industry business nearly impossible here now, when you can produce with a fraction of the costs in other countries.

      Stratigraphy is the layers of soil present around the world. I use it in archaeology. We dig until we reach subsoil (in my area it’s usually clay). Something about the geology of the area was different when that soil was deposited, in my case it’s probably when the region was covered in glaciers, hence we don’t find man-made artifacts in that layer (in other parts of the world it’s different). Everything above the subsoil was deposited by various plants and animals that have inhabited the region since then, and by the wind blowing in from the ocean that carried soil from other continents. The same observations can be used for geology and other sciences that study climate change. If I were to dig past the subsoil, I’d reach another later that tells me more about the geological history of that area, and then another, and another. If you Google images of the Grand Canyon you will clearly see the different soil layers I’m talking about. The study of these layers is an entire sub field of geology, one that I’m not an expert about because I only know enough to conduct archaeology.

      @@Czeckie- What CO2? The CO2 in the air or the CO2 in the tree. If the tree dies, then the CO2 in the air will remain in the air until it is absorbed by another plant and is converted in the process of photosynthesis to make sugars. The CO2 in the tree is going to remain in the dead tree until it decomposes and is release by bacteria or fungi decomposing the tree or it gets buried and is converted into coal like other dead plants have been doing for millions of years. This is third grade science stuff. Besides, why are you concerned about trees? It is already been established that the majority of CO2 is captured by aquatic algae, plankton, and bacteria in the world's oceans.

      Trouble is none of the solar cycles line up with a 150-200 year timeline. The industrial revolution does.
      > Tectonic disturbances?
      I don't even know what this means. Earthquakes? We get earthquakes on a daily basis, and even large ones occur somewhere in the world every couple years. If that was the cause, we'd see multi-degree fluctuations happening every couple years, not a single trend over almost 2 centuries.
      If you're not referring to earthquakes then I'm at a loss what this is even referring to. I try to keep up to date on the denialism nonsense but this is a new one to me.
      If you want to be convincing in your denialism, you need to come up with an effect that started within a decade or two of western industrialization, because that's the timeline of the climate crisis.
      You also have to explain why this is the only time in the entirety of the data we've been able to collect about the planet's climate history that we're witnessing such an event.
      Most importantly, you have to explain why there are only 5 mass extinction events (that all have reasonably accepted causes) as the temperature spike we're seeing is not compatible with evolutionary timescales (that is, a significant percentage of species won't be able to adapt and will die out - a process that's already well on its way).
