99.9999% chance humans are causing global warming, and other science-based facts

FULL TITLE: 99.9999% chance humans are causing global warming, and other science-based facts on climate change for Earth Day.

Climate change is real and increasingly a part of our daily lives. New research and studies out in just the past six months highlight the latest facts about the human-caused shift to our global weather systems and its effects on our planet.

First among them, there's no longer any question that rising temperatures and increasingly chaotic weather are the work of humanity. There's a 99.9999% chance that humans are the cause of global warming, a February study reported. That means we've reached the "gold standard" for certainty, a statistical measure typically used in particle physics.

Study lead author Benjamin Santer of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, told Reuters that “the narrative out there that scientists don’t know the cause of climate change is wrong."

“The children alive today, like my daughter who is 12, they’re going to see a dramatic transformation of climate. It’s already underway,” said study lead author Matt Fitzpatrick of the University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Science.

If the Muslims would quit burning Christian’s and their churches, the CO2 would drop, I’d imagine.

Once they start talking in terms of "chance," they are no longer talking about science.

If they’re truly concerned, they should stop exhaling CO2 immediately.

Erf Day is yet another gift from the Republican Establishment.

The same losers who stuck us with the Environmental Protection Agency during Nixon.

These corrupted “scientists” (who mainly want grant money to fund their worthless, corrupted “research”) should be forced to eat their crappy, useless dissertations and, then, aressted for intellectual fraud. What pinheaded nitwits.

This is Santer:

"https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/01/24/a-history-of-dr-ben-santer-and-his-ipcc-trick/"

He has a track record of pretty egregious and unmistakable selective editing and cherry-picking, to a degree which makes it indisputable fraud. Not just casually, but in published papers.

Here is an example from one of his papers:

The global warming that does not exist ? Who cares who caused it ? Blame it on cow fats and get ready for the returning ice age.

solar activity, the angle of the earth’s axis toward the sun, volcanoes including under the ocean, and it’s all our fault.

The race of Man is causing .0023% of change the climate reflects. 10 minutes of a cloudy day when over most of the US exceeds that.

Sorry, typo: here are the factual numbers and how they were derived:

1. The total atmosphere weighs 1,800,000 BILLION tons.

2. CO2 is .4% of that which is 720 billion tons.

3. The total typical whole planet Man produced CO2 is 6 billion tons. 6 billion tons sounds like a lot but in fact it is .83% of all the CO2 on the planet.

4. Man is responsible for .83% of the .4% of the CO2 that makes up the atmosphere. The impact of all Mankind comes to .0033% of the atmosphere.
