climate 'scientists' have been basing all their climate data off cores taken from a single continent (antartica) and extrapolating that and also putting their thumb on the scales to pretend its an emergency and increase their own funding
when they've gone from global cooling to global warming and are on the verge of heading back to global cooling again it will be thoroughly debunked
also cooling or warming of more degrees than their worst estimates of the future can occur from a single volcanic eruption throwing all their data off and making it fairly trivial for humans to reverse any change by just adding reflective particles to the upper atmosphere if required

It's a widely spread myth that the scientific consensus in the 70s was a cooling trend or that we were "heading for another ice age", and thus that they all flip flopped.

In reality, a -minority- of climate scientists in the 70s believed in the cooling trend, something like only 20%, while the other 80% agreed with today's scientists on the warming trend.

My biggest problem with global warming is that it looks like a scam aimed at the average Joe. It's like they try to guilt trip the western populations and tax them even more. It doesn't help that the "solutions" are contradictory as fuck

>stop driving cars
>but buy a new car every 3 years!
>consume less electricity
>but green energy is the future!
>be mindful of carbon emissions
>consume more frivoulous garbage!
>stop having kids kids are bad for climate!
>but you have to import uneducated 3rd world savages

And the best one yet is that globalism is pushed as this thing that brings everyone together and makes us all one nation meanwhile it's probably the worst thing possible when it comes to carbon emissions: mass consumption, overproduction of trash goods, imports from the other side of the world, planes everywhere, mining, oil drilling and exchanging. Then you have the guys that push for it, rich elites that don't give a fuck, owning yachts, sports cars, private jets, private drivers, they don't give a single fuck about their carbon emissions.

The final piece of the puzzle is scientists, they can't get their story straight, I remember back in the 90s they were terrorizing people with stories of how in 15 years the world as we know it would end if nothing is done, fast forward 15 years and..nothing, rince and repeat, "in 15 years it's the end of the world!", fast forward to 2018 and it's "this time in 15 years we all dead, trust us bro, we're scientists!". I can't even blame them it's so fucked up, if you have the "wrong theory" about climate change you get treated like a parriah and get your funding cut.

So yeah, climate change or not, it's really hard to make such predictions considering how big of an impact the sun has. Does human activity has an effect? Maybe, probably. Is it necessarly the worst thing ever? Again, that's up to debate. If only this wasn't a massively political topic maybe there could be serious research and debate done on the subject.

>>10337404
I have an actual solution.
The experiment is quite simple actually.
Methane is purportedly a much more potent greenhouse gas (28x as much as CO2). Just vent a large enough quantity into the atmosphere such that a significant change in temperature could be measured according to whatever climate change theory or model is chosen.
So find (a) natural gas well(s), frack it, drill it, whatever, add a tall pipe (stack), put a meter on it, measure the output, and vent it out using one or more pipes (stacks). This could be done in the US but it could be done elsewhere cheaper with fewer obstacles and regulations.
Pros:
-Easy (An entire industry already exists)
-Cheap (Natural gas is abundant and the main costs are distribution, also natural gas prices are super low)
-Saves money in the long run once anthropogenic climate change aka global warming is proven incorrect (BIG $$$$ SAVED)
-A source of income for people with natural gas on their property but no access to a pipeline
Cons:
Some natural gas is wasted instead of being used to cook food, heat homes, generate electricity, etc.
tldr: vent a large enough amount of natural gas, measure how much is vented, observe supposedly correlated changes in temperature (none obviously)
simple, cheap, effective, ends the debate once and for all, billions and trillions of taxpayer dollars saved in the long run
I call it The Big Fart.

Even if we assumed that climate change was being caused by CO2 emissions ( it's not) , the only way you could ever reduce CO2 emissions by a amount significant enough to prevent heating as show in the models would be to invade India and china and literally force them to stop using fossil fuels after you've conquered them.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as climate change, is in fact, anthropogenic climate change, or as I've recently taken to calling it, anthropogenically caused climated change.

The argument is that while the climate changes on its own, human actions mostly due to industrialisation have affected the balance of heat absorbed from the sun and emitted back into space by the Earth. The main driving force is an increase in "greenhouse gases", most notably carbon dioxide a byproduct of combustion of hydrocarbons (oil, coal, peat etc). Greenhouse gases prevent the Earth from emitting heat into space as effectively because the absorb the radiation emitted before it gets out again, which is why you have the metaphor of a "greenhouse" which does a very similar thing.

There are also tipping points/points of no return/cliff edges. For an example of what can happen, look up "the great dying". With a high enough CO2 concentration in the atmosphere it can cause other processes like a warming of the oceans and a release of stored CO2 and methane.

The problem is that while 90% of the denier claims are bullshit, there's that 10% of truth buried in the mix - the questionable methodologies, the weakly justified extrapolations, retroactively adjusting data to make it fit better with predictions, etc.

But rather than listen to some of the justified complaints and concerns and use them to further the discussion, the approach of the climate science community and its supporters has been to treat climate change less as a scientific theory and more as unchallengeable dogma where if you question any aspect of it you're suddenly equated with flat earthers and moon hoaxers.

Prove that the anthropomorphic contribution to the concentration of co2 in the atmosphere can change the temperature moreso than an atmosphere without that contribution of co2 in a controlled environment.
Every experiment that has attempted this has had to give up on using realistic levels of co2 because it failed to show any difference in a controlled experiment otherwise, meaning there is no empirical evidence that the tiny percent that humans output of the tiny percent of co2 concentration in the air (0.04% with human addition making it 0.0401%).
Literally, if you fill a green house with 0.0401% co2, and then another one with 0.0400% co2 you will not be able to prove a consistent difference in temperature between the two greenhouses without cheating.

Greenhouses don't exactly have the same thermodynamic relationship with their surrounding media that the Earth has with the Sun and space. In fact, the "greenhouse" label is only illustrative of the phenomenon.

I'm fully famiiar with the climate change cultural phenomenon jump started by Google, Stanford, Exxon Mobil, and General Electric, as well as the huge investments that Conoco Shell, Royal Dutch Phillips, and BP Oil put into funding campaigns to support the anthropogenic climate change movement, starting back in the late 90s when these oil companies all merged together to form an energy oligopoly.
Unlike you, I've actually researched this subject extensively without an emotional bias, and I've determined very exhaustively that it's a scam.
The very people you think are 'against' anthropogenic climate change (big energy) are the people who popularized it in our culture and media during the first decade of the 2000s. For example General Electric owns MSNBC and made 80 billion in sales from 2005 to 2014 alone from it's "ecomagination" green energy public relations project.
A scientific consensus is really just a lobbying consensus. If you have the money and the power you can make your own consensus by flooding the field of study with corporate funded research to literally spam your position into 'the truth.' It's happened through all time and now corporations are BETTER at it, not worse, than in Galileo's time.

Then the experiment didn't work so they forced it to by placing a hot machine next to the anthro co2 tank, and by pumping the atmosphere to 72,000ppm co2, vs Earth's 400, into the tank, before they could get a measurable difference in temperature.

The premise of the claim is supported by the data, actually. The mean temperature anomaly has increased 1C over the last century and is still going up. The GHG concentrations are going up. The human source of them is also well-established. C-14 fraction of atmospheric carbon is decreasing, consistent with dilution by C-14-free fossil fuel use. The levels of nitrates come from agricultural activity. Gases like fluorocarbons and SF6 are clearly human-created, because they don't naturally occur in the atmosphere in large amounts.

That's what you just did with this post, I've posted exceptional arguments against the claims of anthropogenic climate change and have shown extensively how fradulent it is in this thread, you have completely moved goalposts over and over, avoiding having to credibly argue your position, because you can't.

After I posted, suddenly it became:

>it's too complex to be falsifiable.
Climate Scientists disagree with you and it contradicts the claim I was responding to. UC Berkley helped Mythbusters set up this experiment an their expert stated that it was possible to test whether or not the human contribution of co2 would warm, but then when it didn't, she pumped it to 73,500ppm (earth's is 400, and the human contribution is (being generous) 0.75ppm), and only got a 1 degree increase over the control.
It's an absurdity to claim that 0.041% co2 in an atmosphere will control the environment vs 0.040% co2 in an atmosphere, and experimentally that idea was debunked on that episode. Disingenuously, they would rather modify the experiment unrealistically and force the result they wanted, because it's payed for propaganda in the first place.
If your hypothesis is falsifiable, it's shown to be false every time in experiment. If you claim it's NOT falsifiable, it's just "too complex," than I've successfully counter argued the original claim I was arguing, which was that climate change was simplified so that a normal person could understand it.
My whole argument is they can't, because it's not accurate in the first place. Understanding would mean rejection of the hypothesis.

I think everyone agrees that climate change is happening. But the argument lies in the main cause for it. The climate has been changing on Earth since it's existence, before humans were even a thing. That is not to say that large amounts of pollution can have adverse affects on the atmosphere (acid rain and all). If anything, the climate change alarmists are much more dangerous than the deniers, because they are the ones who drive policy. Think about it: there is a reason "Global Warming" has been rebranded as "Climate Change". There have been many instances where data is fudged to make climate change more drastic than it seems, whether for more funding or to drive policy. And no one really knows for sure what causes climate change...it's a chaotic system with so many variables, and the slightest change in initial conditions would yield drastic results. At the end of the day, going against climate change boils down to two questions:
1) Why should we hamstring our economy in the name of climate change, while other countries do not follow the same regulations they agreed to ?
2) Should the climate change drastically to the point that living is unsustainable in an area, what is stopping us from engineering a solution/throw the problem at the free market to resolve the issue?

The greenhouse effect is directly observed with radiative spectroscopy, so such an experiment is unecessary. We can literally see how much heat is being radiated by different concentrations of CO2 in each part of the atmosphere.

>Every experiment that has attempted this has had to give up on using realistic levels of co2 because it failed to show any difference in a controlled experiment otherwise
Source?

>meaning there is no empirical evidence that the tiny percent that humans output of the tiny percent of co2 concentration in the air (0.04% with human addition making it 0.0401%).
Your math is way off. The CO2 concentration before the industrial revolution was 0.028%. Man's contribution increased that to 0.0405%.

The concentration relative to the rest of the atmosphere is irrelevant since its the number of CO2 molecules in the air that determine the effect, not the number of other molecules.

>Literally, if you fill a green house with 0.0401% co2, and then another one with 0.0400% co2 you will not be able to prove a consistent difference in temperature between the two greenhouses without cheating.
As I've already said, those are not the direct concentrations of CO2 to compare, but the larger issue is that a greenhouse does not represent the Earth nor does it operate according to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect for the Earth works by prevented energy from radiating out to space. A greenhouse on the other hand operates by preventing convection. Since convection determines the temperature in a greenhouse and not radiative transfer, adding more CO2 is not going to do much to the temperature. But the temperature of the Earth is completely determined by radiative transfer.

She states that "it's difficult" to set up such an experiment, but that it's possible and she'll do it.
They do the experiment, and the amazing happens, the temperatures are rising at the same fuckin rate. Fuckin a! So she starts really pumping that co2 in until she gets to 73,500ppm and literally pressurizes the container with co2, desperate not to disappoint her funding overlords.
This is consistent through all time and you can verify this yourself as well, it's not an unobtainable difficult experiment.

UC Berkley helped Mythbusters set up this experiment an their expert stated that it was possible to test whether or not the human contribution of co2 would warm, but then when it didn't, she pumped it to 73,500ppm (earth's is 400, and the human contribution is (being generous) 0.75ppm), and only got a 1 degree increase over the control.
I'm not familiar with this setup, but anything with walls is going to lose heat to surroundings and in no way is going to imitate Earth's atmosphere. They showed that increasing GHG concentrations does increase temperature even with those heat losses. Also, the anthropogenic contribution to atmospheric CO2 is at least 120 ppm, not 0.25.

It would be in General Electric's interest to create a simple home experiment that undeniably proves a factor change from:
0.040% co2 in the air (400ppm)
to
0.041%co2 in the air (the human contribution added, or you could make it 0.039 vs 0.040, attempting both is probably best).
And then with nothing else being different, getting consistently higher temperature rise. When you try this though inevitably you can't, and you have to pump a massively higher concentration of co2 to see a greenhouse affect.
In a similar way, fluoride is probably in your drinking water in a small concentration, on the basis that its small concentration is non harmful, even though a higher concentration certainly is.
It's only shown in experiment that a high concentration co2 atmosphere shows a notable greenhouse contribution, experiments with low concentrations suggest the opposite.

I'll go with wiki's premise for anthro climate change for consistency in discussion:
>Anthropogenic climate change is caused by human activity, as opposed to changes in climate that may have resulted as part of Earth's natural processes. In this sense, especially in the context of environmental policy, the term climate change has become synonymous with anthropogenic global warming.

If I could simplify the claim, it'd look like:
>Trace differences in trace amounts of co2 in an atmosphere can create a substantial greenhouse affect.

You CANNOT increase the temperature of a greenhouse by settling it's co2 concentration at 0.040% co2, measuring it, and comparing it to a greenhouse with 0.039% co2. It's been tried and every time, you need to increase the co2 percentage by about 10,000 times, to see any affect.

When you account for that one little detail called a "controlled environment," atmospheric levels of co2 cannot even be proven as providing a greenhouse affect, only levels much higher than we see in earth's atmosphere can be.

Humans output ~29 giga tons of co2 into the air per year.
The earth outputs ~800 giga tons of co2 per year.

It's true I should have calculated this out more accurately. Rounding to whole numbers for easy, I'm getting:
0.0375% of the earth's output.

The total output of co2 from the earth into the earth's atmosphere accounts for only:
>0.0391% of gas composition in our earth's atmosphere.

So we have 0.0375% of 0.0391% of a greenhouse gas contribution on the earth, as far as co2 is concerned. I don't even want to calculate this.

So the human contribution of co2 into the earth atmosphere is a ~0.00146625% contribution of greenhouse gases to the earth atmosphere.

There is no experimental evidence that suggests that a 0.00146625% concentration of co2 in any kind of greenhouse can notably alter the temperature in comparison to a control with that number subtracted to zero, or with that number added to an already extant concentration of co2. I bet the wooly mammoths wished they could stop climate change too.

Well, why didn't you say so. You see, the earth also reabsorbs that CO2, and so that amount gets subtracted from the total. The net human contribution is responsible for most of the increase.

I read what it talked about and it was a flawed experiment with no good controls, an assumed conclusion, and stated bias at the outset casting doubt on the integrity of the experimenter, who's goal should have been to prove the hypothesis false. His very experiment is incapable of proving the result he'd like, because of the vast number of unaccounted for variable and the chaotic and ucontrolled environment.

You're not enlightening anyone, genius. I'm using hyperbole so that if you post the real figure, it ironically confirms my point, as the human greenhouse contribution of co2 is a minimal overall contribution to both co2 itself, and overall greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It's insignificant, and you can't demonstrate that concentration as being useful for warming in a controlled experiment, so you can fuck right off with your excuses for pushing psuedo science that is unfalsifiable like the anthropogenic climate change lobbying and media movement.

>> No.10339955

>>10339926
It's not insignificant. Your only evidence to the contrary is a bogus calculation. There are carbon sinks, and you have to subtract that amount from the calculation, which I already explained to you. Global CO2 is going up, and there are no natural processes underway to account for it. There is a clear solution, however: fossil fuel burning releases gigatons per year of carbon that would have otherwise remained sequestered.

>Most unsettling is the fact that data show quite clearly that during glacial-interglacial intervals the rise in temperature has preceded the increase in atmospheric CO2 and not the other way around (Lee Ray, 1993; Solomon, 2008). Indeed, the analysis of Antarctica ice cores determined that temperatures over the continent started to rise centuries (more precisely some 800 years) before the atmospheric CO2 levels began to increase.

I've been following some abrupt climate change youtubers for a while, for the longest time I thought of them as conspiracy tier folk but lately more and more official, or rather, public figures like professors from established and respected universities have been appearing both on their programs, podcasts and even during their own talks, summits and gatherings talking about the same damn thing.

Are things really this bad? they're talking about 2025-2030 being basically the end-point for civilization(in regards of energy and food) meaning mass die-off of humans, not to mention other species that are dying as we speak.

The effect of albedo on climate is unknown, it's too much information for us or our supercomputers to process.
The same occurs for precipitation, and most other things climate relate, like El Nino, and E Nina, which is an interesting interaction with hydrgoen.
Claims about domino affect warming are unfounded bullshit.
"The same author is very worried about the fate of the corals. He mentioned that “during 1998 a rise in sea temperatures
... caused a mass bleaching of the world’s coral reefs. Up to
90% of the Indian Ocean technicolored coral reefs turned to
skeletal wastes, largely devoid of life”. Was it a consequence
of anthropogenic global warming? Apparently not, since
Callum Roberts mentions that “the harm of the corals was
caused by a surge of El Niño”. Moreover, it appears that “corals
are returning to life, but there is a fair chance that just in a few
decades they will be all destroyed as ocean temperatures rise
owing to global warming”, that is if not another El Niño will
do the job before humans kill them! Notwithstanding the fact
that corals are among the oldest organisms on Earth and that
they successfully survived many more serious threats during
their long life in the oceans."

We also love fucking routines and patters which feeds into the previous behavior. God help the person who tries to force a sea change.

That's what I have been arguing thread after thread, but in every thread I am informed that my position is in the minority there. I am amazed if the narrative you have been hearing from the ivory tower has been that we can't do anything. General Electric is one of the largest mainstrea media companies in the United States and it has multi billions in green energy revenue every year.
Increased skepticism of the anthropogenic claim, and a violent reproach to carbon taxes, have actually ended up hurting GE's pockets, but overall they are still doing fine and continually are pushing the anthropogenic agenda for profit. The thing that most don't understand is how strong a company like this' influence can be over a given scientific field, should it decide to invest in it (which it did), since if someone funds enough studies, eventually their studies become the 'scientific consensus,' biased or not, from sheer volume and inter-citing each other. Since General Electric was in cahoots with Google and Exxon Mobil on this issue since 2002, it's reasonable to believe that both Google and Exxon Mobil have affected the cultural beliefs on anthropogenic climate change through media as well, with perhaps google being the most powerful advocate possible.
As someone said in the thread earlier, just before all these oil and energy companies started teaming up with google and stanford for climate change (and also these companies literally merged together, exxon and mobil became exxon mobil and conoco and phillips became conoco phillips and royal dutch and shell became royal dutch shell and GE is really Standard Oil with a different name (literally), and then it that 20% got obliterated away. I'd wager it wasn't that they were convinced, but rather that their opinions were drowned out by lobby influence and big money.
