“Just my theory: All that energy, in the form of heat, goes into the atmosphere. Low pressure systems occur when an air mass warms. Increased human activity may be increasing those low pressure areas and causing wild weather conditions.”
No. Human activity is a rounding error for global climate. Has some local impact in cesspools like LA. But globally? Just no.
Example 1: an average hurricane releases about 10 megatons (as in a big nuke) of energy every 20 minutes or so.
Example 2: a big wildfire releases more CO2 than the US produces in a few years. We just saw one enabled by these idiots.
Example 3: a big volcanic explosion releases more CO2 than all of mankind has since the start of the industrial revolution. Other much more powerful “greenhouse” gasses, too.
Example 4: If the US cut CO2 emissions to zero, it wouldn’t be a blip on what China emits. And even the CO2 they emit does not more than influence local phenomena. (Note: the polution China emits actually can have global implication - but that’s a different issue the “environmentalists” apparently don’t care about.)
Too tired of posting links few read. Look it up yourself.
The take away: We’re gnats on the global scale.
My theory is that increasing low pressure areas through the heating effect of human activity is like using leverage to create a big effect. It is considering the behavior of weather using the principle of leverage which amplifies results through small changes. This could be the real explanation since CO2 through man’s contribution is a teeny part of the total CO2 input; which nature provides in a major part. It would be laughable if the scientists ignored the heat effects of human activity; especially if that effect had some leverage action not yet understood.
