"Even if the sun is brighter and hotter, it makes sense to stop using polluting fossil fuels anyway. " why | |||
"Even if the sun is brighter and hotter, it makes sense to stop using polluting fossil fuels anyway. why" Do you know what coal and gas are and where they come from? | |||
"The overwhelming majority of people who actually study the field say he's wrong. I'll put my money on them." Experts? No, we're sick of them | |||
"Even if the sun is brighter and hotter, it makes sense to stop using polluting fossil fuels anyway. why" That wasn't a question so I'm not answering it. Even if it becomes a question I won't deign to answer. | |||
"Even if the sun is brighter and hotter, it makes sense to stop using polluting fossil fuels anyway. why Do you know what coal and gas are and where they come from?" The merchants down the road ! Dohhhh | |||

"I was listening to lbc news earlier and he believes it don't exists and he said it is the earths natural cycle. I kind of agree, but as they chop down the rainforest it kind of have a small impact, what is your view? "Having seen the figures for pollution caused by trucks and the equivelent figures for pollution caused by ships carrying thousands of containers filled to the brim with Black Friday specials. I can see where he's coming from.... | |||
"We just need to figure out how to create a shit loads of lightning storms as they repair the ozone shield "Depends whether you're hell bent on destroying the world as quickly as possible or not. | |||
"99% of scientists don't. But, hey, experts. What do they know. " Ah but this is the era of post-reason politics - you don't need to listen to anyone who's view contradicts your own narrow one can be simply dismissed. You should try it. It's incredibly easy.  | |||

"The sun has been getting gradually brighter for billions of years not one hundred, and that will continue - during that brightening we've had ice ages etc Trump is taking shite of course he is, global warming is happening - we know that because we measure it! Of course the earths climiate is affected by other things and cycles as well - no one has ever said CO2 is the only thing There's actually some evidence the sun is going through a quieter phase which might give us half a century to bail the planet out And the sun will run out of fuel of course it will - just not for several billion years when none of us will be here to worry about it " why should we then worry about global warming!!!!!!!!! | |||
"the living planet is growing year by year, trees which were on the surface many years back and now 2 miles deep below, the planet grows, the mass increases, and with so many huge dams, reservoirs and changes, the planet is now spinning out of its axis we are doomed, all doomed, and that's without global warming to worry about and the sun burning out" That's a very foolish and short-sighted view, you know. | |||

"The earth goes through cyclical stages of climate change of extreme heat with the poles melting and extreme cold with temperate areas going through mini ice ages.. History has shown this in archeology and more recently with the frost fairs taking place when the Thames froze over. Not that I'm detracting from the obvious effect that humans have played in depleting the ozone layer and increased carbon dioxide causing heat to be retained.. Nor am I gonna question the obvious fact that trump is talking outta his arse.. It just isn't quite as simple as it's all man's fault, but it's definitely happening.. " It's not history or archaeology - it's geology and ice cores that tell us about climate fluctuations. If you're going to sound authoritative, get right.  | |||

"To be fair if you read scientific journals there are arguments on both sides.. some say its just a natural cycle and the planet warms up.. then triggers an ice age and starts again .. but we are changing or at least adding to things. " . That's the statement they make!!. It's of course extremely misleading.... Like some say? Well yes saying something is very easy, backing it up with data is a little bit harder, that's why you won't find ONE climate scientist who SAYS it's not c02 with any data to prove it. It's like this statement you'll hear people say..... In the 70s scientists said we were heading for global cooling, yes that's right there was about 6 papers that were written indicating we might be heading for cooling, of course they fail to mention there was 50 papers that contradicted those 6 papers and showed we were heading for warming from greenhouse gases, primarily c02.... Of course that doesn't stop people saying in the 70s they said we'd be in a new ice age.... They say it alright but honestly it's bullshit and that's not what the science says! | |||

"which is why people are terrified that one of the first things trump will do is take the US out of the Paris Climate change agreement..., so where the rest of the world are trying to find cleaner and greener technologies... trump is going in the opposite directions...."

My interst lies in geology but when you look at sections of rock that shows millions of years the changes are there to see... Yes sometimes it was caused by factors such as super volcanic eruptions or meteor strikes... but it still happened without the help of people... Yes I think we are contributing and yes I think we are destroying this beautiful planet but I do think that we do not know enough to be making judgements either way.. and that if it is us.. the damage is already done. | |||

My interest is as I say mostly on the natural causes of climate change.. and while I agree we maybe speeding it up.. I do also think from what ive read that it has happened many times previously in the planets history which we are just a blip on its life span. But I am not a climatologist... Just someone who likes to read and learn | |||

Just someone who likes to read and learn " . Mmmm I don't really know where to begin with that,i don't want to appear rude but natural climate change and variation has been known for hundreds of years, Darwin's book showed how animal and plant life adjust to changing habitat. In the late 1800s Tyndall showed how carbon dioxide absorbs long wave radiation trapping heat. We've know for along long time that the earth wobbles on its axis from about 21 degrees to 24 degrees over around a 24,000 year period, this is known as the procession of the equinox, even the Mayans knew that... When the earth is flatter to the sun we receive a lot more radiation than when were tilted from the sun(like today) there's also a 100,000 year meander of the earth around the sun where we get closer and further away and then there's a very good nuclear dynamic of how the suns output will change over millions of years. . So yes theres natural climate change which we've known about for along time and what we have a good understanding of...... And then there's anthropogenic climate change which is the added change caused by human activity on top of the natural variance.... This is what we've been studying more for the last 60 years as it's causing problems with its speed of increase | |||

You mean like these similar so called experts that advised on Brexit
these "so called experts" are being paid and do what they are told". Well anybody can say anything, it doesn't make things truer, what you have to do is look at the volume and quality of the data that supports your conclusion. . So just like gravity or evolution the volume and quality of evidence is exceptionally good to the point where you can say yes this is the very very likely answer(science doesn't really do definites). . If you wish to think something else that's personal choice but your own opinion can never carry as much weight unless you can give your own volume of data to support your opinion?.... | |||

They have their own little group called the IPCC "That is right too and yeah many changes their mind about it too, one good example is china, there was a place they couldnt see 1 meter infront of them because of all the pollution. | |||

"99% of scientists don't. But, hey, experts. What do they know. Ah but this is the era of post-reason politics - you don't need to listen to anyone who's view contradicts your own narrow one can be simply dismissed. You should try it. It's incredibly easy. "Seems to happen a lot on the forums lately.....particularly any discussion of brexit! | |||
"Even if the sun is brighter and hotter, it makes sense to stop using polluting fossil fuels anyway. " It's not only fossil fuels, imyouve got chemicals in hair sprays, deodorants, gases used in refrigerators, the Ozone has started to repair itself after we've cut down on the use of these gases, the climate cord that was recently signed was to cut these gases even more, think about it, we get insurance invade shit happens so doesn't it make sense to be cautious with the planet that the future us will inherit? Or those who will live forever? | |||
" My interest is as I say mostly on the natural causes of climate change.. and while I agree we maybe speeding it up.. I do also think from what ive read that it has happened many times previously in the planets history which we are just a blip on its life span. But I am not a climatologist... Just someone who likes to read and learn . Mmmm I don't really know where to begin with that,i don't want to appear rude but natural climate change and variation has been known for hundreds of years, Darwin's book showed how animal and plant life adjust to changing habitat. In the late 1800s Tyndall showed how carbon dioxide absorbs long wave radiation trapping heat. We've know for along long time that the earth wobbles on its axis from about 21 degrees to 24 degrees over around a 24,000 year period, this is known as the procession of the equinox, even the Mayans knew that... When the earth is flatter to the sun we receive a lot more radiation than when were tilted from the sun(like today) there's also a 100,000 year meander of the earth around the sun where we get closer and further away and then there's a very good nuclear dynamic of how the suns output will change over millions of years. . So yes theres natural climate change which we've known about for along time and what we have a good understanding of...... And then there's anthropogenic climate change which is the added change caused by human activity on top of the natural variance.... This is what we've been studying more for the last 60 years as it's causing problems with its speed of increase" wow Mr patronising.. I am sure I know as little or as much as you.. seeing as neither of us are climatologists.. I read because I like science and new theories come out all the time.. but if your prepared to look there is research that both supports climate change and defunks it... That if you bother to read my posts was my point. | |||
"The sun has been getting gradually brighter for billions of years not one hundred, and that will continue - during that brightening we've had ice ages etc Trump is taking shite of course he is, global warming is happening - we know that because we measure it! Of course the earths climiate is affected by other things and cycles as well - no one has ever said CO2 is the only thing There's actually some evidence the sun is going through a quieter phase which might give us half a century to bail the planet out And the sun will run out of fuel of course it will - just not for several billion years when none of us will be here to worry about it I think the methane gas given off by the shite Trump is talking is going to have an impact. Honestly, people. Science is not a religion. You don't get to choose to believe in it or not. It's our "best guess" using logic to assess the evidence. If you don't believe in science, what are you not believing in? Evidence? Or logic? You know what, I want the 8 year of my life back doing my degree, masters and my PhD. It was obviously totally pointless. Hey let's not bother publishing peer reviewed work because no one believes in it anyway. Let's just chill at home and write and blog and when anyone refutes our claims, we'll just blame big pharma and the government. (And probably make more money from a blog than doing a science research post let's face it.) Threads like this make me want to cry. FFS. stop trying to kid us all on you have a degree, masters and my PhD, tell the truth, you dont" Degree and master's, yes. I never completed my PhD. But spent 3+ years on it.

"He's right. How do you explain the Ice Age? What that caused by Range Rovers and people not recycling their rubbish? Also, of course the ice caps are melting... The sun is a star and gets bigger and bigger every year, the life cycle of a star is to grow bigger and bigger and hotter and hotter until it implodes on its self. When the sun reaches its full size, it will completely engulf the whole solar system. " Um... no. The Sun's size is pretty stable at the moment and will stay that way for several billion years. Once its hydrogen runs out it will veer off the main sequence and swell into a red giant. | |||

" But there is studies out there that do suggest that while we contribute the earth has a cycle and we are just speeding it along. Can I tell you who it was.. Nope.. " . I can help you there..... It's called the IPCC and the many thousands of scientists who study it. Because what you've actually described is exactly what the IPCC and all the data and evidence points to.....a natural climate cycle as I described above which has many known factors which I described above which cycles around in tens and hundreds of thousands of years, the length bit there is quite key, like the current ice age were leaving, this bit,the last 12,000 years called the Holocene or the inter glacial Holocene the ice age itself is around 2 million years old with meanderings up and down in between but the critical bit for humans is this very steady last 25,000 years of temperature variations, not just for humans but really it's great for all living creatures. The problem now is human activity is speeding along the natural aspect of change at very quick time ratios, change that took a 100,000 years to occur before is now occurring at 100 year ratios when you change habitat that quickly you don't allow evolution to take place to adapt,i mean 100 years is only really 4 generations of humans.... When we start those normally very slowly occurring natural feedbacks by our not natural warming caused by human activity we will release a phenomena called runaway climate change and yes your correct this has happened a few times in the billions of years of earth history, the pmte wiped out 96% of all life on earth and took around 100 million years for recovery... So these events have very scary outcomes and it's why we've studied and researched them for so long. Now the bad news, the bit nobody is unsure about anymore in science is the fact that humans are driving it faster than it should be by realising c02 .... As I said before try imaging a world where we hadn't discovered fossil fuels and instead jumped straight to renewables...... . if 80 million barrels of oil and 300 million cubic metres of gas was accidentally coming out of the ground and catching fire every single day, for decades we'd just look at it and say.... You know what this is a fucking disaster we need to stop it really quickly before the whole world gets fucked from it..... | |||

"Couldn't give two hoots as long as whatever bad is going to happen or not, does not happen or not in the next 30-35 years" . It's already happening I'm afraid it's been occurring slowly for a few decades now and is growing steadily..... How long before it gets you?... That depends, your wealthy(based on the third world) and live in a wealthy country, you'll probably bite the bullet later than most....35-50 years is about 50/50 chance | |||
"Couldn't give two hoots as long as whatever bad is going to happen or not, does not happen or not in the next 30-35 years Presumably you're neither a mum or aunt. If you are, you must hate them." Not a mother; but an aunt; and no i don't hate them; what an awful thing for you to say Humans have been polluting the planet for the last 100 years; that is 3 generations and we haven't got wiped out yet; the sea hasn't swamped over the continents as predicted Most is natural climate change; the ice age wasn't created by leaving the freezer door open | |||

"Hello PureTemptation, Ther has bveen so much alteration and falsification of data and so many scientists are fixed on an agenda that they won't accept that they may be wrong. Please don't put a lot of faith into 'peer review', it is pretty cursory at best. A recent investigation has shown that 50% of scientific reasearch cannot be replicated, this is across the board and there is no reason to believe climate science is any better. The worst part of the science of CO2 is that they have to resort to computer modelling to 'prove' it, however their models do omit or put arbitary figures in for the vast number of factors. Worse, is the U.Un. has dceide to accept that and has persuaded the world to expend vast amounts of money to try and change nature. Alec" . Hello Alec, still pedaling the blatant lies i see. There's been no falsifying of data there's been alterations of data only trying to match temperature data to satellite temperatures and urban expansion. Recent replication problems was mainly in phycology and medicine not across the board and it's not exactly recent and been known about for decades. Speaking of which.... John Tyndall.. Mid 1800s first person to measure the infra red radiation absorption of gases including....c02 using thermopile technology.... Which.... You can replicate every single fucking time. So no, you don't have to use computer modeling to "prove it" because Tyndall was well....a bit too early for using a Mac!. . Speaking of computer modeling simulations, yes your right the early ones weren't great.... They were way too conservative, every bit of observable data today is far worse than the early models predicted, and that's mainly because scientists are conservative by nature | |||

". So you totally ignored what I told you then!. Polar bears are marine animals adapted to swimming through cold water to eat seals.... Now if there's no sea ice left in 15 years which the OBSERVABLE data shows there won't be.... What do you think will happen to them? Take a flying fucking guess, you don't need to be a biologist to work it out although I doubt I biologist wrote any report about demising of numbers and that's just yet again another load of blogger bollocks repeated by many as FACT | |||

"People in the 'couldn't give a fuck camp' ought to watch 'An Inconvenient Truth', a film by Al Gore. It outlines the effects of climate change and humans input into it, it's horrifying to those of us with a conscience." Science fiction at its best | |||
"Bet someone else has also made and equally interesting film about the b*llsh*it being peddled by the doom and gloom merchants And what exactly has been the negative impact of climate change on humans? Not interested in what it may or may not have done to some obscure bird in the wild; who gives a f**k about that but the nit-pickers Which continents are half under-water because of the polar ice melting, as was predicted some 30 years ago? Not talking about some little island with a population of 200 people where a couple of palm trees are getting their feet wet by the sea. I guess, if we can take 3 million economic migrants from Afganistan, India, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq then we can accommodate another 200 people in Europe from this mythical island too Be pragmatic, not emotional about the non-issue" . I'm very pragmatic, to be honest there's a good proportion of the science that says you and everybody you know will die from climate change effects within 80 years!.... That's not some bird you've never heard of, to me it's a bird I've never heard of on a swinging site!. To be pragmatic, takes honesty... Let's start, no science paper ever stated continents would be half under water today! , the early ones thirty years + ago were very conservative and pushed most of the bad shit beyond 2100!.... Now more recent ones have hinted towards sea level rise coming sooner, it's a very tricky thing to predict with some time certainty but that's not the same as saying it won't happen, the science shows there's a very very good chance it will!. Predictability is key to science were going to need to build lots of defences against the coming changes that are already locked in to the c02 we've already emitted that means we need to know how much rise will we get, how much more frequent the big storms will become, droughts, heatwaves etc etc.... We need to know this because defences take a long time to build and finance(look at Holland's dam projects). . Now you need to just think a bit bigger with how you look at what has climate change done negative for humans, humans are higher primates just like all animals we require habitat, food, water, shelter.... I'll give you an example, the oceans are currently absorbing about 90% of human produced c02 and the extra heat, the effect of adding c02 to the ocean increases its acidity, it's currently today the most acidic it's been in about 3 million years or before this ice age started, coral, shell fish are already feeling those effects as the added acidification eats away at calcium shells.... The oceans are very much a biosphere the loss of quite a few animals will effect all the others.... Now how does this effect humans your asking, well this little creature called phytoplankton creates about 80% of the world's oxygen, research over the last few decades show there numbers are dwindling quite quickly from adaptation to acidifying oceans..... The ratio of oxygen on earth is quite finely balanced it's about 21% if it went up about 4% to 25% nearly everything you touch would be on fire, every tree on earth would burn uncontrollably... Now if you lowered it 4% to 17% you'd fair better but at about 10% you'd pass out and die. See that's the point about this planet that sustains life.... It's very finely balanced, iron spinning core, large moon, thin crust, distance from sun, amount of oxygen.... All rare things that are finely balanced.... Like greenhouse gases too much and it's goodnight, too little and it's goodnight just right... Well were all Goldilocks! | |||
"People in the 'couldn't give a fuck camp' ought to watch 'An Inconvenient Truth', a film by Al Gore. It outlines the effects of climate change and humans input into it, it's horrifying to those of us with a conscience. Science fiction at its best" . See we can both agree there that al gore's film was shit and full of inflated science.... Now if people just stuck to the science we'd be all much better off | |||
"Bet someone else has also made and equally interesting film about the b*llsh*it being peddled by the doom and gloom merchants And what exactly has been the negative impact of climate change on humans? Not interested in what it may or may not have done to some obscure bird in the wild; who gives a f**k about that but the nit-pickers Which continents are half under-water because of the polar ice melting, as was predicted some 30 years ago? Not talking about some little island with a population of 200 people where a couple of palm trees are getting their feet wet by the sea. I guess, if we can take 3 million economic migrants from Afganistan, India, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq then we can accommodate another 200 people in Europe from this mythical island too Be pragmatic, not emotional about the non-issue. I'm very pragmatic, to be honest there's a good proportion of the science that says you and everybody you know will die from climate change effects within 80 years!.... That's not some bird you've never heard of, to me it's a bird I've never heard of on a swinging site!. To be pragmatic, takes honesty... Let's start, no science paper ever stated continents would be half under water today! , the early ones thirty years + ago were very conservative and pushed most of the bad shit beyond 2100!.... Now more recent ones have hinted towards sea level rise coming sooner, it's a very tricky thing to predict with some time certainty but that's not the same as saying it won't happen, the science shows there's a very very good chance it will!. Predictability is key to science were going to need to build lots of defences against the coming changes that are already locked in to the c02 we've already emitted that means we need to know how much rise will we get, how much more frequent the big storms will become, droughts, heatwaves etc etc.... We need to know this because defences take a long time to build and finance(look at Holland's dam projects). . Now you need to just think a bit bigger with how you look at what has climate change done negative for humans, humans are higher primates just like all animals we require habitat, food, water, shelter.... I'll give you an example, the oceans are currently absorbing about 90% of human produced c02 and the extra heat, the effect of adding c02 to the ocean increases its acidity, it's currently today the most acidic it's been in about 3 million years or before this ice age started, coral, shell fish are already feeling those effects as the added acidification eats away at calcium shells....

It is all very 'finely balanced'; even a butterfly flapping its wings in Australia could eventually spell the extinction of humans through a series of unseemly unconnected events We can all spout 'googled' science at each other until we are blue in the face. Your googling is not any better than my googling which predicted London to be flooded by 2030 I guess I am the kind of woman who looks outside the window before leaving for work in the morning. Irrespective of the weather report which assures me glorious sunshine all day, if I see that it is pouring down, I get my umbrella out.

". Again wtf has the WWF got to do with climate change science showing the diminishing Arctic sea ice???? Nothing at all is the answer. Now let's get back to what I wrote. I've no idea how polar bears got into climate science, they've got nothing to do with the IPCC or climate research.... However if the WWF choose to put them on the endangered species list I suspect it would be from the dwindling OBSERVABLE HABITAT that they live on which will make them endangered! | |||

"And do the eskimoes depend on this habitat who live in their Igloos still who catch seals for their blubber perhaps they can revert to liveing in different accomodation but I presume a way of life for them will be changeing and how thehy deal with it afterwards." No, not really, sea ice is always seasonal therefore the humans build on the islands of rock not on the sea ice. in the short term like the polar bears they will benefit from a higher density of seals on a smaller geographical land mass (seals still need to get out of the water to breed) The tipping point will be the plankton that the fish that the seals eat, coupled with the fact bears will be in close proximity to their main enemies i.e. humans and polar bears. The question you need to consider is what happens to all the water released when the ice melts? It will make the Dutch nervous! | |||

"And do the eskimoes depend on this habitat who live in their Igloos still who catch seals for their blubber perhaps they can revert to liveing in different accomodation but I presume a way of life for them will be changeing and how they deal with it afterwards." They have already adapted to modern technology. Have you seen the snowmobile ownership amongst Eskimos By the way, how many millions of Eskimos will be affected? Just curious; 5 million? 10 million? Same population as London? | |||

"It's well established that climate change has happened before but the causes remain unknown. The biggest issue we have is that studies of climate change have little to refer to. We know carbon emmisions are contributing but we really have no idea just how significant or insignificant their contribution is." . That's actually being a bit disingenuous and misleading of facts. They've got a very good idea how previous climate change events have happened through ice core samples, geological rock formations, astronomical models, nuclear models of the sun's life span.... We don't know for definite but there not quite shrug your shoulders we haven't got a clue. Your second point is irrelevant, you don't need something previous to refer it to as your third point will prove. Your third point.... Well it's a bit long winded and hard to explain so bare with . Good scientific theory's should have some predictability to them.
Right so in about 1890ish a swede called arhenius(not sure of the spelling) came up with the theory of man made warming through greenhouse gases he based this work on John Tyndalls earlier work on the trapping of long wave radiation of carbon dioxide, methane and other gases.
Since then we've refined as measured this to calculate that the earth is about 30 degrees warmer than it would be without those gases.....
Now according to his theory if it's good we should see some predictability.... Now over the last 100 years we've doubled c02 levels as well as also increasing the other gases of methane, ozone, water vapour.... So to check which gas is causing the warning we've used spectrum analysis on ground level to see which bits of the radiation(solar heat) is being trapped and it turns out that the bit c02 traps(the different gases all trap different wave lengths) is the one primarily getting the biggest increase, they also measure the troposphere via satellite to measure trapping and amounts getting through.
So now what we see is Arrhenius theory is working very well, the more greenhouse gases that we add the theory predicted the warmer it would get(using Tyndalls experiment).
So we've measured how much c02 has been added and we've measured the temperature increases and we've seen the observable data that corresponds.... Now it gets a bit more complicated because trying to predict future increases to temperature increases is complicated because the climate is complicated, there's positive and negative feedbacks that we've measured and observed, like sulphate aerosols from air traffic cause a dimming effect on how much radiation gets through so that's a negative effect, however the c02 they produce cause the added warming that's a positive effect!. however what we do know is the last time the earth had c02 over 400ppm , well the earth looked mighty different sea levels were 80ft higher than today and temperatures were 4 degrees higher.... But of course we didn't have human activity then either!.
.
See the science has never shown it wouldn't happen without us, what it's shown is it would never happen at this rate of pace without us....
So to conclude we know exactly how much warming you would get from another 100ppm increase in c02 , what we're not entirely sure about is the timing of it because of the millions of other factors.
So that's where we get estimates from, at the moment the estimate is that summer Arctic sea ice will be gone in 16(+/-6 years) years time and that estimate fits with the observable data!.
By the way a shrinking ice sheet is a net positive effect as the white ice goes which reflects radiation it's replaced by dark ocean which soaks it up instead giving added warming!.

Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube! This tube is the Gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers... This tube is the most awesome God-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA - the Communication Corporation of America. There's a new Chairman of the Board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome God-damned propoganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?
So, you listen to me. Listen to me: Television is not the truth! Television is a God-damned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business! | |||
"I'm going to refer you both to the wonderful film of network which won the Oscar in 1976 ish(before anyone rings in) .

So. A rich little man with white hair died. What has that got to do with the price of rice, right? And *why* is that woe to us?
