I am not a chicken little snowflake and you did make it within my attention span which is very short on this subject.
The oceans rise about 2.6 mm/year. That’s about an inch per decade. Or almost a foot per hundred of years!
Thousand of years from now, they will be in a real trouble!
CO2 now is at about 410 ppm.
500,000 years ago is was at 3000 to 9000 ppm.
Why? No people back then.
Geologists have found rocks formed at the North pole at the equator, moved by an ice age. Almost total frozen planet.
They know the Mediterranean has dried up. Sahara has river beds. Land bridges to Britain, Japan and Alaska.
The temp of this planet has been all over the place.
I suspect the sun’s temp has more to with our planet’s temp than what people drive.
A NEW ICE AGE is on the way, just like the one in the 1970s, which fizzled.
This is akin to looking at a 1 hour chart of the Nasdaq and projecting your retirement on that.
I got the a/c on right now.
May be right, but it’ll be too late. The Warm-mongers will have stolen all our money by then.
Take a long look at the weather is like in the UK today.
That is just one region. They had snow in the Saudi Deserts this year.
Which is typical in a minimum. Weather goes wacky..matter of fact, what the hell is “normal” weather?
No such thing as normal wearher since creation.
The ONLY man-made warming going on is thru a secret Cabal, now not as secret but still not well-known. They have dibs on things like HAARP to control weather... plus the media, to implant and maintain and augment the notion that all of humanity is to blame instead.
i kinda appreciate electricity, running water in the home, and a vehicle i can just jump in and drive anywhere anytime i feel the need to do so...
life is flourishing now but there’s a lot of people that just don’t appreciate the conveniences that make it easier for most of us...
There was an increase between about 1987 and 2012 that seems to have flattened out to a steady state regime since then. The increase was about 0.56 C deg or 1.0 F deg. Some of it could be attributable to human activity and some to natural variability. There were several strong El Nino events in the warming phase.
I find the concerns to be overhyped and the real data are inconclusive with regard to future “runaway” warming that is postulated. Even if the theory is true to some extent, we have insufficient understanding of how the atmosphere will actually respond to the increases in carbon dioxide.
My take is that we would be smarter to plan mitigation strategies in the event of sea level rises, if those do not occur we have wasted very little to put plans in place, if they do start to materialize than we have a response plan.
I wouldn’t personally recommend crippling the carbon based economy but even if that happens anyway, I don’t think it will create the amount of change expected because natural variations are probably more significant than the researchers imagine. So we are more dependent on those, and we cannot predict them accurately.
Well, yeah, but the right one...
Currently, the Earth is in an icehouse climate state. About 34 million years ago, ice sheets began to form in Antarctica; the ice sheets in the Arctic did not start forming until 2 million years ago.[8] Some processes that may have led to our current icehouse may be connected to the development of the Himalayan Mountains and the opening of the Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica but climate model simulations suggest that the early opening of the Drake Passage played only a limited role, while the later constriction of the Tethys and Central American Seaways is more important in explaining the observed Cenozoic cooling.[22] Scientists have been attempting to compare the past transitions between icehouse and greenhouse, and vice versa, to understand where our planet is now heading.
Without the human influence on the greenhouse gas concentration, the Earth would be heading toward a glacial period. Predicted changes in orbital forcing suggest that in absence of human-made global warming, the next glacial period would begin at least 50,000 years from now[23] (see Milankovitch cycles), but due to the ongoing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, the Earth is heading towards a greenhouse Earth period.[8] Permanent ice is actually a rare phenomenon in the history of the Earth, occurring only in coincidence with the icehouse effect, which has affected about 20% of Earth's history.
Compared to when?
1950?
1650?
800AD?
800BC?
!0000BC?
The whole thing is absurd beyond imagining.
For the final time, look at sun spots.
Spaceweather.com shows the history.
We are but specks compared to the sun.
I predict that California will suffer catastrophic warming between now and July 15th. Triple digit temps will be common and we may even see 120F degree days in Death Valley!!!!
I’ll be calling this disaster ‘summer’.
The margin of error is greater that the tempeture change.
