from what i understand CO2 gets into the atmosphere and prevents some light from reflecting off earth and back into space, thereby warming up the planet. Yes this may help trees grow faster but you need to consider everything that happens, such as the ice caps melting due to the increased heat. So just saying trees grow faster is leaving out the bad things that can happen. Do you want faster growing trees at the cost of sea level rise? Probably not

how does CO2 prevent light from bouncing off the earth and going back into space without just preventing the light from coming in to begin with? is CO2 a one-way mirror? how does it maintain it's perfect orientation with the reflective side always facing away from the sun? it would have to rotate at the same rate the earth turns to do that.

The plants grow faster because there's more co2 in the atmosphere. If you double the co2 the speed of which the plant can take up co2 from the atmosphere is also doubled. And since plants are made out of mostly co2 the plant ends up growing faster.
https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/effects-of-rising-atmospheric-concentrations-of-carbon-13254108/
Summary

Current evidence suggests that that the concentrations of atmospheric CO2 predicted for the year 2100 will have major implications for plant physiology and growth. Under elevated CO2 most plant species show higher rates of photosynthesis, increased growth, decreased water use and lowered tissue concentrations of nitrogen and protein. Rising CO2 over the next century is likely to affect both agricultural production and food quality.

That's incorrect. Wildfires are caused by bad local politicians. Like what we saw in California: once they followed Trump's advice about clearing old trees from the forests the wildfires stopped.


Also you have to understand: we're talking about 0.4 degrees increase in heating over a period of almost 80 years into the future. Places on Earth already experience about 20 degrees Celsius in different between night and day.

You fail to understand the most basic concepts of the greenhouse effect.

The sun radiates a spectrum of energy, the bulk of which is in the visual portion of the spectrum. This is the yellow portion of the graph, or roughly what's under the gray line.

Various gasses in the atmosphere absorb, reflect or refacts portions of that spectrum on it's way down what reaches the earths surface is the red portion of the graph.

The earth absorbs many frequencies across the spectrum but only re-radiates energy in the lower infrared portion.

CO2 happens to absorb, reflect or refract a portion of the spectrum where earth emits far more energy than what it absorbs from the sun, as the sun does not emit much energy in that portion of the spectrum. Thus CO2 inhibits earth from radiating away the heat energy it has collected.

This is in opposition to other pollutants like Sulphur oxides and particulates that absorb reflect or refract more energy coming form the sun than is emitted from the earth. Recent laws to reduce Sulphur from fuels should help to heat up the earth and my conspiratorial mind wonders if those reductions were not done to improve the air quality but rather to exacerbate global warming so as to gain more political control over the production of CO2.

This greenhouse effect is unimpeachable science. The magnitude of the effect is in contention as are the final outcomes. Personally I think global warming is a good thing. Earth has a higher carrying capacity for life at warmer temperatures and looking back at geological history we are far far closer to having critically low CO2 than some kind of dangerous abundance.

>what could possibly happen from more CO2

Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide and it's perpetually shrouded in thick, yellowish clouds of sulfuric acid that trap heat, causing a runaway greenhouse effect. It's the hottest planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun.

The atmosphere of Venus is made up almost completely of carbon dioxide. It also includes small doses of nitrogen and clouds of sulfuric acid. The air of Venus is so dense that by mass, the small traces of nitrogen are four times the amount found on Earth, although nitrogen makes up more than three-fourths of the terrestrial atmosphere. This composition causes a runaway greenhouse effect that heats the planet even hotter than the surface of Mercury, although Venus lies farther from the sun. When the rocky core of Venus formed, it captured much of the gas gravitationally.

That's EXACTLY why the rich 1% globalists are all against CO2, because they want to depopulate the planet.
Easiest way to do that is mass starvation from crop failures, due to not enough CO2.

Plants and crops do fine when were 5-10 billion people, but as we need more food, there won't be enough CO2 for all the plants to grow as well.

If co2 absorbs at that wavelength then it also emits at that wavelength most of the time. It is also reflective and reflects the high wavelength solar irradiance.

solar irradiance is only one measure of the sun's activity/impact on earth's climate. I mean, I'm glad the IPCC finally started acknowledging that the sun exists and isn't just a constant lightbulb that never waivers... however, they still fell short and didn't include the more relevant solar forcing measures.

Also, other guy was right, the climate is quite stable in the grand scheme of things. You can't expect planet-scale trends to conform with our tiny little human conceptions of time when it comes to averages and rates of change. Consider looking back a bit further than the 1800s. The climate is always changing; humans have been lucky to be in a relatively stable chapter in earth's history. The earth has been warmer in the past. Look at some ice core data - we have tens of thousands of years of temperature and CO2 data.

Pollution is bad; emissions should be reduced; we should do a lot more to live sustainably. That being said, man and his digging up shit and lighting it on fire is but 1 tiny piece of the puzzle when it comes to global average temperatures.

Excess carbon dioxide is diffused in the atmosphere it dissolves in the ocean, causing the acidity to increase. That can have effects on coral reefs or phytoplankton for example.

Unlike global warming, everyone in the field knows the effects/trends, their consistency, and there hasn't been much of a conflict of interest due to in that subject.

The ocean itself acts as a shield and should buy us a century. Within that time, we'll kill ourselves through other means or renewables will be dirt cheap by then so it doesn't pose a massive threat.

A criticism of renewables is that electricity isn't produced consistently, and our current batteries are toxic to the environment. A better strategy is to buy more time to develop new batteries. This means to continue using fossil fuels, and allocate most of the energy produced by renewables to absorbing carbon, not from the atmosphere, but from oceans. Carbon capture by air is inefficient. Oceans have 150 times more carbon than the air does by volume. Picrel. Carbon capture facilities are not required to be powered at all times, our civilization does.

Global warming is a moot point due to the fact that the ocean can, and already has bought us exorbitant amounts time, renewables are increasingly cheaper, that our carbon footprint ratios are drastically decreasing year by year, and that there is a inherent political biases and conflict of interests on the studies produced.

Giving credit to politicians that speak of issue to induce fear is a mistake. They are seeking to gain political power and launder money for other purposes.

that doesn't make any sense. They don't always process every bit of CO2 there is, they can only process so much. If there's more CO2 than what they can process then it's not going to work. That should be obvious to anyone informed on this topic like yourself

As if poltards care to read. All they can do, same as flat earthers, is act smug while making shit up out of thin air. Oh, but you better somehow isolate the whole planet and fill it with CO2 to PROVE CO2 causes any significant warming! It's seriously on par with flat earthers claiming gravity doesn't exist because "you can't isolate gravity durrr where's ur independent variable durrr" like a bunch of fucking retards. Same thing with narcissists in general. Antivaxxers, flat earthers, retarded climate change deniers, the usual hypocrisy and need to feel special.

so what do you think about the thread topic?
more co2 = higher crop yields
more co2 = more productive wilderness
whats bad about more CO2?

why are you trying to derail this thread and make it about /pol/ instead of discussing science if you're so pro-science?

Oxygen doesn't help plants at all, the perfect atmosphere would be 90% nitrogen 9% CO2, 1% trace gases. Plants would love it.

Oxygen is a product of plants existing. Its presence in our atmosphere may have destroyed all the life that came before the Oxygen Catastrophe, but it opened the door for symbiotic respirating organisms that made sure that plant carbon sequestration didn't imprison all the carbon in the ground and end plant life forever.

A positive feedback loop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedback
Those "benefits" you list stop being benefits once the dominos start to fall unstoppably, even if we ignore everything else, like the health effects of high local concentrations of CO2 at ground level on people.

Also, biologically most species have had plenty of time for adaptation to changes in atmospheric composition. When that hasn't been the case there tend to be mass extinctions. One was so bad it is more commonly referred to by its nickname than its geological time period. The permian-triassic extinction, AKA "the great dying", saw nearly all life go extinct including 81% of marine life. So many animals died that where paleontologists can't date finds by other means they can date them by the fungi remnants in the rocks instead.

The great dying and its causes occurred on a time scale of approximately 60 ± 48 thousand years, with CO2 levels rising to 10,000 ppm (versus ~415 average today). Naturally, other things worked together in that feedback loop than only CO2, such as methane releases. Same thing that would happen in our case.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis
Including catastrophic release of vast quantities of methane.

To give you an idea of how bad our current rate of increase (2.31 ppm per year) is, if it were to continue at ONLY this rate, we would achieve 10,000 ppm in only ~4,272 years. That is assuming zero positive feedback loops contributing to it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipping_points_in_the_climate_system
That would be the best case scenario. You don't get ~4,272 years, of course, you get a rapid progression of death and feedback loops further causing more extinctions. More rapid than any extinction since life on Earth began.

What was that about higher crop yields?

Thankfully we can rule that risk out since it has never happened before in global history. Everything else you talked about is basically nonsense of course, but I'm sure you knew that.

4chan is shilled nearly to death by those interlopers.
But what about the water budget? Higher plant growth rates should require more water input.
If CO2 doesn't cause global warming then were is all that extra water going to come from? If CO2 does cause global warming then the increased evaporation rates from the oceans should take care of the issue

To be fair I rarely do, and mostly for my own amusement or education. Trialing different levels of detail and explanation to observe the results. I'm very well aware you can't convince narcissists who need to feel special for "secret knowledge", but it is very interesting how you can manipulate them to respond differently by how and what you write. Or not respond at all. In any case it does help develop concise rhetoric.

Mixing in things that do have good evidence and documentation (mkultra, unconstitutional surveillance, etc) with more flat-earth tier conspiracy BS (great reset, muh vaccines, etc) doesn't trick anyone capable of holding more than two things in their head at once.

From what i understand climate change is real but the level of danger from it is greatly exaggerated and exploited by politicians for power grabs.
If it was a real fucking problem then we would have nuclear fission reactor regulations being changed at breakneck paces and in 20 to 30 years it would be 100% solved, maybe even reversing.
But no, they push only for "solutions" that demand more government power and societal control.

big presumption that the same people who start wars would care at all even if the world were going to end in two weeks. if we really desperately need to switch to all fission energy, they would probably just demand super massive bribes to get the required licenses

Of course it would be corrupt. But even if they did it in the shittiest way it would solve carbon emissions.
Shitty like using only currently approved nuclear reactor models, with a huge bureaucracy for dealing with dangerous byproducts and using the current, shit, fuel as an excuse to create new controlled resource streams that demand they have more power.
They could do this or they could allow new tech like modular molten salt, but that would diminish their power and eliminate oil politics.
I think the reason they don't do the shitty version is because the public opinion is poisoned against nuclear so they can only gather power by going with the current trend that exploits climate fear trough renewables. It's already an in with least resistance.

what's bad about more CO2 is that I am allergic to it, which is why my body keeps trying to get rid of it.
