Humans are short sighted and greedy. Despite technological advances etc we ignore the environment as it's uncool. We aren't as clever as we think we are

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 humans that can't adapt, it's habitat, and all mammals need habitat.

Only yesterday there was a scientific survey showing insects down 70%

Agree.

Btw, google 'easter island a warning from history'

Human attitudes haven't changed and so a global easter island scenario will visit us in the future

Not really its a technological solution to a problem.Necessity is the the mother of invention and all that.

London in the 1890s was drowning in horse shit there was a prediction that within 50 years it would be 9 ft deep everywhere .Fortunately the automobile was invented solving the horse shit problem and creating another.We will solve our climate change issue some way.

I do think technically we can fix the climate change problem - the question is do we have the will to fix it fast enough?

Hitting the targets set by the Paris accords would be a good way to attempt to limit the damage, which is the stage we're at now.

Doing that will require significant political will, but as a species we're pretty adept at doing things once we set our minds to it.

We can't "solve" it, so much as we will need to find how to live with the damage we've done and limit further damage as best we can.

Wrong again demon John.

1.5 is the target, 2 degrees is what we shouldn't go over unless you want.... Shit to happen in a large scale

And by the way... Both of those figures were set by Economists on the IPCC, no science has ever shown that a 1.5 degree rise would be livable with let alone 2 degrees

Were in a twenty year lag on c02, the current warming were experiencing was done under labour and Bill Clinton... That's just science .

Sadly were still to get the warming that will occur under the Tories and Bush's.

Still don't panic, we've only set in motion 27 self reinforcing feed back loops since 1997 so all is not lost.... Apparently

#climatehistory"

Yeah, no.

We can't accurately predict how the worlds climate will react to changes in temperature on that scale, because it's an amazingly complex system we can't model.

The reason "no science has ever shown" what you're talking about is we know we can't.

"So, before the shit slinging match starts, anyone got any actual ideas to solve the issue at hand?

Hitting the targets set by the Paris accords would be a good way to attempt to limit the damage, which is the stage we're at now.

Doing that will require significant political will, but as a species we're pretty adept at doing things once we set our minds to it.

We can't "solve" it, so much as we will need to find how to live with the damage we've done and limit further damage as best we can."

A closer analogy might be giving up smoking, or undergoing a dramatic diet change to avoid diabetes.

Both will kill you if left untreated, and both mean you've already done significant damage to yourself already. But there's two options, try and limit further damage and try to undo the existing damage as best you can.

Or

Just keep going.

I'm not a fan of option B, personally.

"A closer analogy might be giving up smoking, or undergoing a dramatic diet change to avoid diabetes.

Both will kill you if left untreated, and both mean you've already done significant damage to yourself already. But there's two options, try and limit further damage and try to undo the existing damage as best you can.

Or

Just keep going.

I'm not a fan of option B, personally. .

Or you could read what they actually fucking said today which was whether you give up smoking or sugar is irrelevant, your not going to hit the Paris targets, 1.5... Or 2

I have. I see no reason to join you in just throwing my hands up and going "we're all doomed, innit"

It's a dull and useless attitude.

.

And your solution is.... You just said it before!!.

Sticking to a limit that they just said today can't be reached, oh yeah, that's rocket science stuff right there

We should still work towards that limit, we should do all we can to limit further damage.

We probably shouldn't just quit and whine about it..

What!!! Are you serious.

How the fuck do you work towards a limit that's already gone, are being deliberately stupid now?.

Should I take you through the science of c02 lag again or is it pointless as it will not sink into your brain

I am serious.

Let's say you're right.

Let's say we can't hit the 1.5 target, why stop working towards reducing emissions? What possible purpose would that serve?.

I don't say we can't hit 1.5 science says we can't hit 2... Those days are long long gone, the IPCC clearly said in 1989 we have a ten year window to sort this problem out.... We didn't do shit about it, in fact we just increased the output year on year... What did you think would happen?

You're avoiding the question.

Why stop working towards reducing emissions?"

.

The serious answer?.

Because right now sulphate aerosols are lowering the temperature by around 3 degrees.

As we lower the emissions the temperature will increase rapidly

Those mostly come from volcanos, and deserts. We only account for 10% or so.

We could counteract that 10% shortfall by releasing aerosols ourselves, but it's not a viable long term plan, and reducing emissions overall is preferable.

Sulphate aerosols fall out after only a week or so... Luckily we pump more up every day so we're getting an artificially lowered temperature of around 3 degrees.

The minute we stop, the temperature will jump 3 degrees in an instant... So that's just a fucker really on reducing emissions.

I mean what we really need is to find someway of extracting 3 million tonnes of c02 a minute from the atmosphere and then locking it deep deep underground where it can't leach back into the atmosphere and while completely stopping using anything that produces c02 or methane....

It's like we used to get the odd few warm years followed by a cold year, then we got an alarmingly warm year... Don't panic, everything will be ok.

Now we get the warm year being beaten by the following year which is beaten by the following year which is beaten by the following year... It's like every years getting warmer for fuck sake and now we've got hurricanes on Hurricanes and forest fires on top of forest fires on top of droughts on top of rainy seasons.

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.

Why stop working towards reducing emissions?.

The serious answer?.

Because right now sulphate aerosols are lowering the temperature by around 3 degrees.

As we lower the emissions the temperature will increase rapidly

Are you saying we should INCREASE CO2 emissions? .

As a short term solution, it's the best we've got

And INCREASING CO2 is what scientists are telling us to do? Or just what you are telling us?.

Ok decrease it and get the three degree rise that science has shown we'll get!...I mean it doesn't really make much difference, the outcome is the same

Right, so it's just your word for it then? Let's just say I wouldn't base a policy on it. Have you got any kind of qualifications or experience in climate science that means we should take your advice over everyone else's?.

Nobody in here is giving climate policy, were giving opinions, mine are based on science papers that I've read.... Like reducing c02, it sounds good but you'll need to be more accurate on detail if you want me to give it credence, how much, how quickly, how will you do it, what effects will that have, is there a point in limiting it if we're heading over a threshold anyhow... All your doing is parroting a widely held misconception on probabilities

Quote me where I have done that. "

.

So reducing c02, run me through your policy that will save us from hitting 2 degrees warming.??

With your incorrect talk about a 3 degree temperature change, you're in no position to try and hold court.

FYI - if we accept your premise that these aerosols are responsible for a 3 degree cooling effect, then you'd know that man made sources only account for 10% of the total.

Therefore if we stopped, the temperature increase would be 0.3, not 3.

Here’s an interesting fact or two for your debate.

There is, approximately, a 20 year lag between CO2 levels and temperature....I think someone mentioned this earlier among the shit slinging.

The last time CO2 levels were at current levels was over 800,000 years ago.

At that time sea levels were about 60 feet higher than now.

.

.

.

There is a solution for (some of) mankind. ...... move uphill! The only real problem is that most of the fertile land on which we grow our food is coastal/below 60ft high. So stock up on food too!

Problem solved....time for bed!

Yeah, I'd be surprised if there was a civilisation left within 15 years

And they still will not stop chopping down the rain forests, digging up and drilling for more fossel fuels to burn creating even more

That's why I said civilisation won't exist in 15 years and not humans, there'll linger on for awhile in the apocalypse before slowly dying out in a dystopian shit hole of their own making

If things are that bleak, I'm surprised you've not checked out early.

Far be it from me to suggest you don't actually believe what you're selling..

Dear John, I'm not selling nothing, I'm just telling a story of human catastrophe based upon climate history and science.

Dealing with ones demise is most humans weakness (me included).

When I told this story on here a few years back, many scoffed, alas my doom mongering is bang on schedule

Self aggrandising jerking off is all it is..

I like it when idiots troll me, it shows me that they don't like what I'm saying

You're not saying anything though.

I mean, sure, cookie cutter whining about how everything is shit and we're all doomed, sure. You're definitely making a lot of noise.

But it's hardly interesting or novel, I'm afraid.

"

There is always the option of geo enginering the atmosphere be realeasing aerosols in the stratosphere.Cooling the planet.Of course this would have to be combined with co2 reduction and reducing aerosols in the troposphere .Its relatively cheap and technically do able and allows us to manage the problem.Although some consequences like altering rainfall patterns could be problematic. Its an interesting trade off.

It's certainly a real possibility!...

Chemtrails actually get there conspiracy aspect from the late 70s when it was debated by climate scientists as an option for basically making more clouds.

At this point reducing c02 by small amounts is utterly pointless, sure we could drive them down by the required 85% in the next 15 years as we required by the Paris accord but let's face it even the IPCCs own data is five to ten years behind current knowledge, it now looks like we don't have 15 years... Outside the box thinking may give us a few more decades but the reality is civilisation is a heat engine

With your incorrect talk about a 3 degree temperature change, you're in no position to try and hold court.

FYI - if we accept your premise that these aerosols are responsible for a 3 degree cooling effect, then you'd know that man made sources only account for 10% of the total.

Therefore if we stopped, the temperature increase would be 0.3, not 3..

#demonjohnsays

Try actually reading something instead of just repeating crap that's completely untrue.

https://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/news/factsheets.

You notice that human made aerosols currently outnumber naturally occurring as it says in paragraph 3.

Funny that."

.

Well just go to the national centre for atmospheric research website and look at their figures, on their website you'll see they give a good bit of research on the global dimming effects of aerosols... Or just carry on looking at whatever bullshit website you ripped the 10% figure off?.... Either way like I told you first time you said it, your completely wrong

So to sum up the thread, we need to increase co2 emissions and volcanic activity.

.

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

C02 has a twentyish year lag on temperature rise meaning any reduction in c02 won't be seen for twenty years, however any reduction in sulphate aerosols will be felt in the three days it takes for them to fall out of the sky.

Why not? The outcome is exactly the same as doing what we're doing now, in fact it will be the same as reducing it by a small margin, we'll just all live a little bit better for the 15 years we've got left! .

Anyhow, I'm still waiting to hear your expert analysis of detail on policy to avoid the worse

That's just wishful thinking I'm afraid Bob, I can't imagine a single mammal being alive by 2100 let alone a human.

This isn't uncommon, historically there's been several extinction events the last great die off was caused by rapid climate change, although it was sizeably slower than this current one were in, in that one 96% of all life on the planet went extinct, the smallest ones tend to fair best, deep sea.. If it follows the last five events,

By 2100 the only things left on earth will be microbes, algae, ferns and bacteria for about 5 million years or thereabouts

Theres never been an event that left only microbes and and ferns.Species will migrate towards the poles as will humans.Those that cant migrate or adapt quick enough wont survive.

There's never been an event of this speed and severity.

The Permian Triassic for instance is thought to have occurred over a ten thousand year period, this one will be 50 years long...

In your case there are probably less emissions when you are on holiday than when you are at work.

"A closer analogy might be giving up smoking, or undergoing a dramatic diet change to avoid diabetes.

Both will kill you if left untreated, and both mean you've already done significant damage to yourself already. But there's two options, try and limit further damage and try to undo the existing damage as best you can.

And your solution is.... You just said it before!!.

Sticking to a limit that they just said today can't be reached, oh yeah, that's rocket science stuff right there

We should still work towards that limit, we should do all we can to limit further damage.

We probably shouldn't just quit and whine about it..

What!!! Are you serious.

How the fuck do you work towards a limit that's already gone, are being deliberately stupid now?.

Should I take you through the science of c02 lag again or is it pointless as it will not sink into your brain

I am serious.

Let's say you're right.

Let's say we can't hit the 1.5 target, why stop working towards reducing emissions? What possible purpose would that serve?.

I don't say we can't hit 1.5 science says we can't hit 2... Those days are long long gone, the IPCC clearly said in 1989 we have a ten year window to sort this problem out.... We didn't do shit about it, in fact we just increased the output year on year... What did you think would happen?

You're avoiding the question.

Why stop working towards reducing emissions?.

The serious answer?.

Because right now sulphate aerosols are lowering the temperature by around 3 degrees.

As we lower the emissions the temperature will increase rapidly

Are you saying we should INCREASE CO2 emissions? .

As a short term solution, it's the best we've got

And INCREASING CO2 is what scientists are telling us to do? Or just what you are telling us?.

Ok decrease it and get the three degree rise that science has shown we'll get!...I mean it doesn't really make much difference, the outcome is the same

Right, so it's just your word for it then? Let's just say I wouldn't base a policy on it. Have you got any kind of qualifications or experience in climate science that means we should take your advice over everyone else's?.

Nobody in here is giving climate policy, were giving opinions, mine are based on science papers that I've read....

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!.

Too late to prevent the 2 degree rise that the Paris accord was meant to ascribe to.... Yes, it was probably never true to begin with.

There's an awful lot of politics and dishonesty on climate change from both sides... That's not meant to mean one sides dishonesty is better than the others, one side is basically just lying about facts, the other side is just not being truthful about the outcomes and the solutions!.

Now if you ask and read the stuff by climate scientists from a biology background there a bit more pessimistic

I am sure it was on the news this morning saying "we are to late" to prevent global warming.

Too late to prevent the 2 degree rise that the Paris accord was meant to ascribe to.... Yes, it was probably never true to begin with.

There's an awful lot of politics and dishonesty on climate change from both sides... That's not meant to mean one sides dishonesty is better than the others, one side is basically just lying about facts, the other side is just not being truthful about the outcomes and the solutions!.

"Record c02 and methane!.

The methane is not getting much mention for a reason.

Sure where not absolutely positive where the record increase is coming from but.... They have bloody good observations and science to at least say we highly suspect it's from clathrates being thawed!.

That of course is a message neither side want to mention because the conversation ends badly

So the farmer doesn't want to talk about farming and methane? "

.

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

It's called a self reinforcing feedback!.

Anthropogenic climate change has induced about 32 of them since the late 80s.

Now these aren't effected by lowering or even completely stopping producing c02 or methane... Still wimme

Well I think scientific opinion disagrees with you there.

By the way, you said "The methane is not getting much mention for a reason." So I mentioned methane, now you're not happy about it. Like I said, funny for a farmer not to want to talk about their role in it.

Ok, well you have previously quoted NASA as an expert in the field.

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.

Now like I said, if you don't know anything about the science of climate change just ask, but try not to be to an arsehole about it or I won't explain it to you

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.

So like I said originally NOBODY wants to talk about clathrates (nothing to do with fucking farming methane)
