Since /pol/ is just shitpostung and shills I will ask here.

Can someone who is for the paris deal tell me why without basically telling me that white european nations have to carry the world on their backs because reasons?

The rights arguement is that it's a shit deal for us and even if the deal was fair it will only decrease global warming by a fraction of a percent by 2100.

it doesn't demand enough from China. they get a free pass until 2030. because "china is a developing nation meme".

it wants to give billions in development aid to countries known for fraud, waste, and abuse of foreign aid.

allows certain developing nations to claim victim status due to climate change. (evil western industry flooded our sand bar of a nation. give refugee immigration and welfare please).

it doesn't view climate change as a business opportunity to make everyone more productive and richer. instead takes a socialist view. that the rich have to pay for everything.

Look it up yourself.

There's many more payments, all of them benefit some tinpot dictator somewhere who will spend it on robes like the king of Swaziland and by 2020 there will be nothing to show for all those billions spent.

The main argument is that since the Developed World already developed off the back of Fossil Fuels, that its the the Developed Worlds responsibilities to put up first to fix the mess "they started." Thus, they take the steepest economic hits first since their economies can "take it" and then they send money to "developing nations" to speed along the path to becoming first world so they then too can take a hammer to their economy and end their dependence of fossil fuels.

>the United States and China recognize the importance of mobilizing climate finance to support low-carbon, climate-resilient development in developing countries, particularly the least developed countries, small island developing states, and African countries. In this connection, the United States reaffirms its $3 billion pledge to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and China announces that it will make available ¥20 billion for setting up the China South-South Climate Cooperation Fund to support other developing countries to combat climate change

What you call "white european nations" are the ones to blame for climate change due to the uncontrolled rampant industrialization the last hundred or so years.

The developing world cannot be made to shoulder that burden as at the very least they lack the economical capability to do so. Not to mention the idea is ridiculously unfair if you think about it even a bit.

Since the developing world will eventually catch up, the right thing is to guide and help them do it faster so the harm to the environment is minimized.

It is a gesture of goodwill before you start negotiating further. It's like you shake hand before talking about a deal, as gesture of good will and not punch people in the face right away.

>There's better use for $100b in our $5 trillion debts than handing it to Sanjit Singh to poo in newly constructed streets.
You're not understanding the agreement correctly. $100b will be raised from both private and government sector and will be split between the OECD countries, not just the US.

As I said China already said that they're gonna chip into the pot as well, and the EU have said that they're gonna chip in $60b. Again none of this is binding agreement and just sign of goodwill, as >>8951442 said China was all big talk but no action. However you do have to start somewhere, with international agreements gestures and goodwill are everything before you can move onto binding agreement.

Pulling out of the agreement during the goodwill gesture phase just to spite Al Gore and the environmentalist is not beneficial. It's like aborting a baby even before he/she's born, because it kills any future effort in negotiating and improving upon the non binding agreement into the binding agreement.

>So the whole planet has to pay into it, not just murica ok?
Developed countries like US and the EU emitted cumulatively most of the anthropogenic carbon in the last 100 years. We're in the predicament because of industrialization. So it is fair that the developed countries who have reaped the benefit of industrialization to chip in more, but yeah in the end China and India would also need to be part of the binding agreement if we want to have some fighting chance of having an effective international regulation

Not mentioned so far is that obongo sent that $3b without the congress consent just like the Iran ransom thingy for $2b. I dont want my tax money being sent as gibsmedat to Ching Chong and Pajeet on the other side of the planet to fuck up the climate which you so love I'm sure.

What do you mean by "fair"?

We're in the predicament purely because of western industrialization, emitting more than 80% of cumulative anthropogenic carbon emission into the atmosphere, and have reaped the benefit of cheap dirty energy with trillions of dollars worth of built infrastructure like roads, power grids, houses, universities, research institutions, etc.

China and India do emit a lot of CO2, but per capita wise these two countries are nothing. The developed world per capita still emit an order of magnitude way more CO2. So far the US has only pledged a pitiful $3b, EU $60b and developing countries in total pledging (including China, India, Russia, Brazil and South America) $60b to climate development fund
http://www.oecd.org/env/cc/OECD-CPI-Climate-Finance-Report.pdf

Do you think it's fair for the US and EU who were responsible for 80% of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere, to chip in $100b out of $160b total fund pledged (so let me do the math for you, that's 62%). If you want to count the US pledge alone, $3b out of $160 that's less than 2%, while the US is responsible for at least 40% of the CO2 that's already sitting in the atmosphere now.

On an urelated note, the "Iran ransom thingy for $2b" you mentioned are actually Iranian assets that the US just froze. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_frozen_assets
It is their fucking money and assets that we just say gibsmedat. Of course after the Iran deal you have to give back the asset you froze back to where it belong. The $2b is not from US taxpayers at all, it is their money that we stole, froze and rake interest from.

You being unable to articulate the Iran deal properly, thinking that the US and Obama give Iran $2b just because, plus all the buzzwords you spew shows that you've been drinking way way too much /pol/ koolaid and don't know what you're talking about

That's a copy pasted paragraph from skepticalscience, a pro climate change action website. All you need to do is read further than the paragraph
https://www.skepticalscience.com/human-co2-smaller-than-natural-emissions-intermediate.htm

Manmade CO2 emissions are much smaller than natural emissions. Consumption of vegetation by animals & microbes accounts for about 220 gigatonnes of CO2 per year. Respiration by vegetation emits around 220 gigatonnes. The ocean releases about 332 gigatonnes. In contrast, when you combine the effect of fossil fuel burning and changes in land use, human CO2 emissions are only around 29 gigatonnes per year. However, natural CO2 emissions (from the ocean and vegetation) are balanced by natural absorptions (again by the ocean and vegetation). Land plants absorb about 450 gigatonnes of CO2 per year and the ocean absorbs about 338 gigatonnes. This keeps atmospheric CO2 levels in rough balance. Human CO2 emissions upsets the natural balance.

Let me know which part of the 2nd part of the paragraph that you copy pasted don't you understand and I'll be happy to help your special needs ass

>CO2 emissions are the only factor in global warming
>CO2 is even in the top 5 factors for global warming
CO2 is the 2nd most important GHG after water vapor and yes CO2 is in the top 5. There is nothing we can do to control water vapor, as 71% of the Earth's surface is ocean and you can't put a lid over the whole ocean. Water vapor abudance is strictly a function of temperature, and temperature only following Clausius Clayperon equation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausius%E2%80%93Clapeyron_relation

CO2 is subject to aggresive regulation because of its 120 years long atm lifetime, hence long lasting impact. In comparison CH4 (methane) the 3rd most important GHG only stays in the atm for about 10 years

Because southern nations are already feeling the climate change and will continue to feel it much more intensively as the northern nations.

The modest decrease is only true for the northern hemisphere. If the global climate warms up by an average of 2,5 degrees, its like 4 degrees in the southern hemisphere, and 1 degree in the northern hemisphere. If it only warms by 2 percent, it will be 3 degrees in the southern hemisphere, and 1 in the northern. So for the countries in the southern hemisphere its a big difference.

What republicans dont seem to realise is that the USA is basically giving up its status as the world leader. The Paris agreement will still happen, and instead of being lead by the US it will be lead by China and EU. So America is putting the business interest of some few old industries before its own global power position.

Fake graph. No labels on the temp axis.

Also, solar radiation does not vary enough to change temps on earth. For example, in the northern winter the earth is closer to the sun.

Volcanic eruptions can only affect temperatures if they are from very large volcanoes that put out tons of ash. Not even the iceland volcano put out enough to do anything.

>So the poo, the chinks, the hue, and the Russians don't have to pay a dime until 2030?

Trump misconstrued the underlying tenet of the agreement. China Russia India Brazil and other middle income developing nations pledges to have their peak carbon emission before 2030. This doesn't mean that they can do whatever they want, and poo in the loo and cram building their green energy infrastructure at the last minute. To hit peak carbon emission before 2030, while maintaining sustainable GDP growth these developing countries need to transition right away, phasing out their older coal plants and building more solar/wind farms.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-energy-202/2017/06/02/the-energy-202-trump-s-paris-speech-needs-a-serious-fact-check/59302a21e9b69b2fb981dc14/
>THE PROBLEM: Not so. Again, the agreement does not bind any nation to any emissions target. What China did choose to do under the agreement is have its carbon emissions "peak" by 2030 before then declining. The world accepted that longer leash for China and other developing nations to let them use fossil-fuel energy to promote greater economic growth. But to meet that goal, China cannot "do whatever they want" until then, as Trump said, at least if China wants to meet that voluntary 2030 target. It needs to begin acting now to control emissions -- and in fact, is signaling to the world it is already doing so by announcing in January the cancellation of plans to build more than 100 coal-fired power plants. The Paris deal "is more fair to the U.S. than previous agreements because it includes all the major economies of the world, not just the rich countries, so both developed countries and developing countries have skin in the game," Jody Freeman, a Harvard Law School professor and director of the school's Environmental Law and Policy Program, said. Trump's "portrayal is at odds with reality," she added.

Staying in Paris agreement would drive tech and renewable innovation because the federal government and the state would spend money internally trying to meet the emission target.

If you take fluid dynamics you'll know that the 3D Navier Stokes continuity equation for momentum transfer cannot be solved analytically. Therefore everything needs to be solved numerically

Fortran is still the best , leanest, fastest language for numerical methods, as we cannot afford to even use C++ due to computational time.

Your methology is flawed right off the bat.
See, when us engineers dont understand a system, yet have to make a prediction, we look at it as a black box.

What kind of system are we expected to have (LTI, nonLTI, nonLnonTI)?

What is the I/O data?

Is there some kind of feedback / some kind of storage / some kind of leakage?

Is it even reasonable to attempt to find some kind of causality for the invonlved dynamics, or do we need to resort to probabilism?

Can we find some reasonable model that replicates historic data?

Before even answering any of this basic questions, we do not delude ourselves into thinking we deserve to get money for our work.

Now whatever you do is reductionism without any further significance. What about vegetation growth? What about oceanic energy storage? What about solar emission variations? Dust formation? How is the ratio between anthropological and natural emissions? What about water vapor?

>How is the ratio between anthropological and natural emissions?
GISS is a forward model, we don't make assumption about natural emission and let all the components run forward with the given parametiraztion. With anthropogenic emission we're using the prescribed RCP (representative concentration pathways forcings), they have 4 main scenarios from RCP8.5 to RCP2.6. Different GCM running the same perscribed RCPs are crucial for the climate model intercomparison

>What about water vapor?
Water vapor is rolled into the climate dynamics forcing as part of equation of state (ideal gas law + water vapor from Clausius Clayperon eq). It is easy and the most fundamental component, as modeling water vapor is purely a physical phenomenon.

Even if you can't get the compiler to work, feel free to open the files one by one and see how each component work

Your brain is flawed right off the bat because you assume to know about something (climate models) where you most certainly don't. You can't even compile the basic source code to prove me wrong.

Without looking into any of the guts and check the codes by yourself, without even reading any of the papers published about the GCMs you assumed people who have spend their whole lives working to tune the models don't know what they're doing and just as ignorant as you are.

You seriously think that a state of the art GCM in 2017 doesn't implement water vapor? If anything your rebuttal shows how ignorant you are about the state of the art GCM.

You read up and lap up whatever conforms to your beliefs from denier sites, infowars or whatever bullshit news source you consume and since it confirms your preconceived notions about how climate scientists work you never bothered to check our body of work through primary sources yourselves.

Why can't we plant a bunch of trees to take care of the CO2?

>> No.8953813

>>8953809
Because when trees die, they decompose, releasing practically all of that CO2.

Step 1: massive roll-out of nuclear to reduce CO2 emissions from electricity to zero.
Step 2: Figure out something for transport fuel. I personally favor dumping lots of money into synthetic hydrocarbon research from atmospheric or ocean CO2, but I think we should invest into everything promising here.
Step 3: Do even more, whether that's negative emissions, or something with agriculture.

Why are you against solar & wind Tripfag? Sorry the more exotic the ideas, the less likely it's gonna work. Solar and wind despite being boring is guaranteed to work. With transportation there's this thing called electric car/trucks that is also guaranteed to work rather than doing crazy research into making synthetic hydrocarbon. With synthetic hydrocarbon you cannot beat 2nd law of thermodynamics and entropy. It would take more energy to synthesize fuel out of ocean CO2 than the energy fuel itself contain. Why not use the energy you're gonna use to synthesize fuel in the first place? With synthetic fuels also you're still stuck with combusted CO2 in the atmosphere.

With nuclear despite being zero emission you're stuck with nuclear waste, and a lot of countries simply can't have nuclear plants. Japan arguably shouldn't have any nuclear plant as they're right on plate boundary. With safe disposal of nuclear waste, you need to dig tunnels which in itself cost tons of energy that can only be provided from fossil fuel, unless you want to invent some electric tunnel digger powered by a monstrosity of a battery

The only problem with classic but boring renewables like solar and wind being the storage problem as peak household energy usage doesn't coincide with peak sun/wind. The solution is obviously to invest more in cutting edge battery research.

> Solar and wind despite being boring is guaranteed to work.

It's practically guaranteed not to work, due to the low energy density, low lifetimes and high maintenance costs, and intermittency plus all storage being extremely expensive.

> With transportation there's this thing called electric car/trucks that is also guaranteed to work
For commuter traffic, sure, but I'm dubious about long-distance trucking. Maybe.

You definitely need synthetic hydrocarbons for air travel.

> With synthetic hydrocarbon you cannot beat 2nd law of thermodynamics and entropy.

You're an idiot. No one is suggesting that.

> It would take more energy to synthesize fuel out of ocean CO2 than the energy fuel itself contain.

Obviously true.

> Why not use the energy you're gonna use to synthesize fuel in the first place?

Because for some applications, we as a society are willing to pay more in order for higher energy densities of the fuel, in order to make certain applications feasible, such as trucking, and especially air travel.

> With synthetic fuels also you're still stuck with combusted CO2 in the atmosphere.

And if that carbon is pulled from the air, then it's carbon-neutral.

> you're stuck with nuclear waste

A complete non-issue by people who don't know what they're talking about.

Eminently fixable problems. I would remind you that no one died from acute radiation poisoning nor cancer from radiation from Fukushima, and the chances are good that no one will ever die either. Plus, modern plants are extremely safe. Compare that to hydro power, where a single accident killed hundreds of thousands.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam
> estimated 171,000 deaths and 11 million displaced
No one ever talks about that shit.

I'm not saying hydro is unsafe. I'm not saying we shouldn't use hydro. I am saying that people can take a reasonable view of the actual risks for hydro, but they've been lied to concerning the rissk for nuclear, and they blow it all out of proportion. Fukushima, no one died. Three Mile Island, no one died. Chernobyl, maybe 300 people died from cancer from radiation. This is nothing.

And again, newer designs are even safer still.

> With safe disposal of nuclear waste, you need to dig tunnels which in itself cost tons of energy that can only be provided from fossil fuel, unless you want to invent some electric tunnel digger powered by a monstrosity of a battery

Again, nuclear waste is a complete non-issue. Nuclear weapons proliferation? Let's talk. Reactor accidents? Also worthy of consideration. Disposal of nuclear waste? It's not a problem at all. It's absurd that we're pretending that it is.

Climate change and ocean acidification are severe problems right now that will likely lead to wars, famine, mass deaths, etc. It's a possible threat to civilization. We need to be doing something about this shit right now. It's grossly irresponsible to put off the solving the problem until some unspecified time in the future, based on the unreasonable hope that battery technology will advance fast enough to save us. It's beyond the pale. It's sticking one's head in the sand. What the flying fuck.
