"Civilisation will continue.We could quite easily live on a scorched earth.If we can live on mars we can survive here for another few centuries or millenia." I think you would be correct if we could live on Mars. But we can't, nor are we anywhere close to being able to. | |||

It's not climate you Wally, it's energy in energy out, aerosols block the energy in bound but alas there baby brother traps the energy out bound. It's been calculated quite successfully how much energy they stop entering on the in bound cycle... We did it 50 years ago on paper, turns out they were pretty accurate in the real world. Now how that excess energy effects climate is a different kettle of fish. Best guess is it's not great news | |||

"Not read all of it but we have had a record number of volcanic eruptions this year.... of which all has to add to it. Volcanism cools the planet. ![]() ![]() . Both would counteract each other, the trouble with volcanoes unfortunately is you can't rely on them to keep erupting on a daily basis and as I pointed out way up there at the beginning, they only take a few days to fall out from the atmosphere, big volcanoes have the ability to shoot the particulates higher into the stratosphere thus taking longer to fall out..... However man made aerosols, mainly sulphate aerosols from fossil fuel usage do get used daily so we have a constant dimming effect from them (roughly 3 degrees) as you reduce the usage of fossil fuels you'll get a rise from less particulates. . I asked you ages ago what you'd implement policy wise to stop anything, you seem to be short on detail and long on sarcastic comments ![]() | |||

I don't think it would make an actual difference to the outcome, just the timeline to getting there!. Civilisation is a heat engine as Tim garret showed in his 2009 paper!.

That of course is a message neither side want to mention because the conversation ends badly ![]() . What's farming got to do what clathrates frozen since the hot House climate being deforested by the already warming we've produced?. There's approx 14 gigatons of methane frozen this way, just a release of 3-4% is enough to send the climate spiralling back to a hot House it made it before being frozen by nature, this isn't new, it's been known about for decades, studied for decades and verified by observation for 10 years. It's part of the reason the IPCC stated in 1988 "we have a ten year window to make in roads into the problem before it's too late". | |||

That's human produced methane, we at least had the ability to control that, we haven't like but we could have, it's entirely different to clathrates which we knew decades ago was a serious risk with just a small rise ie over 1.5 degrees (hence why the Paris accord was actually 1.5 degrees not 2 degrees). Conflating the two is like talking about naturally occurring c02 when the subject is anthropogenic c02 | |||

Well errr yes obviously, unless we're talking about anthropogenic climate change which is the bit that's human induced... See that's the difference between clathrates (what I was talking about) and farming produced methane (what you butted in with). What the danger is speeding up vastly the natural climate change by increasing the human induced climate change.... You wimme so far ![]() | |||

They say "The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia." Maybe you should email them and let them know they've got it wrong. | |||

No they've got that warming right, as I said that's anthropogenic (man-made)... So positive feed back loops like I mentioned before, there not man made, their natural climate changing processes brought on by man made warming, hence why you wouldn't call clathrates man made but natural positive feed backs that with prompting by anthropogenic warming can be a nightmare scenario. .

" " . No red diesel is just diesel with a red dye.... And to CLCC ... No it's not man made, it's naturally occurring positive feed backs, the same ones that have changed the climate for 4 billon years, the point being there's no evidence that they would have reoccurred naturally for at least 25,000 years without man made (anthropogenic) warming prompting there early arrival.
