Don't ever visit this board, but thought this was the best place to post
Can someone please show me definitive evidence that humans are rapidly accelerating the effects of global warming? I'm a business guy, so I don't really study climate sciences and it's hard for me to understand by looking at the surface. However, I can't ignore so many people saying that humans are exacerbating the effects of global warming. Can you break it down into layman terms for me as to how we are affecting it? I literally never took a single class on climate science or a class beyond basic geology. Just break it down its best for me as you can
Thanks!!

The absolute simple version:

Earth's atmosphere is like a greenhouse that traps in heat. This fluctuates over time and when it swings one way too hard, mass extinction event occurs which humans almost definitely wouldn't survive.

The evidence: we can and have been measuring CO2 levels and earth temp (among a million other things) both of which are increasing. Higher levels of CO2 will trap more heat in.

Deniers typically claim there is no link between them, that humans aren't causing the CO2 rise or that the evidence is faked and there's a mass conspiracy among scientists all over the world

There's a very good correlation between CO2 in the air and the isotope-ratios in animals who lived in the past. The isotope-ratios reflect the temperature of the water they lived in.

>> No.9409065

>>9409025
A reasonable question. Correlation is not causation.
But humans ARE raising the CO2 level at an unprecedentedly rapid rate, so we ought to be concerned.

Also, as >>9408896 noted, there's a mechanism by which CO2 leads to temperature changes but, SFAIK, no mechanism which works the other way.
In fact, the solubility of gasses in water depends on the temperature. As the oceans warm, dissolved CO2 will be released back into the atmosphere -- raising the concentration there and causing even MORE warming. (Water vapor, also a greenhouse gas, will rise as well.)
This is Positive Feedback. Positive Feedback usually winds up destroying the system.

Hey OP, I took AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, and a college level yearlong Bio course, as well as attending several independent lectures on the subject, so I can enlighten you on the matter since you've yet to reserve a proper reply to the OP. Leaving aside the conspiracy theory about chemtrails and weather control, let's begin.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the molecules known as greenhouse gases. Another greenhouse gas is methane. These gases are really good at trapping heat.

Normally, carbon dioxide is absorbed by plant matter so that they can convert it into useful products for themselves. But because of worldwide destruction of forests, there's less plants to absorb CO2---and when these forests are burned, CO2 gets released.

When released, the greenhouse gases go up into the atmosphere, where they settle in one of the layers of our air. When this happens, the greenhouse gases can absorb the heat from solar radiation both going past the atmosphere, as well as heat that gets reflected off earth's surface (which would otherwise escape the planet).

As the earth becomes hotter thus, the ice caps at the earth's poles start to melt. This is bad because they are white, and white reflects light, so it doesn't become heat energy---so they are necessary to control the earth's climate. As the ice melts, it becomes water, which raises the height of the oceans---and that is bad for a number of reasons, including disappearance of land.

And so on.

Now, as to humans being the cause of this:

Humans burn forests and destroy habitats which trap CO2. They burn oil and coal, which releases CO2. They raise livestock like cow which release methane from their farts, which is 4 times more powerful at trapping heat than CO2.

That's about it. That's evidence enough.

1. CO2 and many other gases have "greenhouse" properties in that they allow visible light to pass through (hence invisible), but trap and re-emit infrared radiation. This is literally 19th century science, first proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824, verified and quantified experimentally beyond reasonable doubt by Svante Arrhenius.

2. CO2 in the atmosphere has been rising, and this is a result of fossil fuel combustion (pic related). CO2 can be measured experimentally in the lab, and the stable isotopes of CO2 plunges into the negative values. Fossil fuel has distinct negative isotopic signature compared to natural CO2. This is also an undeniable fact from observation.

3. You add 1+2, you would expect the radiative energy budget of the earth to be out of equilibrium. This is exactly what we observe, based on satellites that measures total energy in vs. energy out by CERES satellite at NASA. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/EnergyBalance/page6.php On average, only 71% of energy entering the Earth is leaving. 2nd law of thermodynamics and conservation of energy states that when a system had energy imbalance, T must go up.

In short, CO2 causes greenhouse effect. Humans put CO2 into the atmosphere through fossil fuel burning. The earth is now in energy imbalance due to additional CO2, and therefore warming. All basic, high school physics that should be easy to understand

>humans are rapidly accelerating the effects of global warming
We aren't rapidly accelerating the effects of global warming, we are causing global warming, which is a rapid increase in global temperatures. We know from chemistry and physics that CO2 is a greenhouse gas. With radiative spectroscopy we can measure the amount of infrared heat being sent towards the surface by CO2, and with isotope analysis we can see how much of the rapid increase in CO2 is being cause by manmade emissions. Once we combine that with our understanding of other processes that effect the global temperature, we see that the radiative forcing from our emissions is actually responsible for all of the warming seen since the industrial revolution, since natural processes actually take more CO2 out of the air then they emit. In other words, without the human contribution, the climate would have been slowly cooling over that period.

This is not incorrect (other than what was already posted about blackbody radiation) and a great post.

Further evidence includes the O2 count in the atmosphere which is falling
http://scrippso2.ucsd.edu

This is vital not because we'll ever run out of O2 but because it's part of the signature showing man's involvement in climate change. O2 falling and CO2 rising is clear evidence that the increased CO2 comes from COMBUSTION and not any other form of natural cause.

Further evidence includes the cooling of the stratosphere. This is impossible unless heat is being TRAPPED in the troposphere (where we live). The sun cannot be responsible for heating the troposphere while cooling the stratosphere because the sun heats up all atmosphere the same (Yes I know everyone, I'm simplifying but it's close enough).

They are looking to get funding and keep their jobs in most instances. The majority of the 10,000 scientists listed with IPCC were doing random studies like "what is the impact of global warming on squirrel populations". Someone who want to study squirrels would approach their government and receive funding so long as they attempted to show that GW/CC was responsible for "whatever envionmental damage", which in their minds seemed plausible since they aren't climatologists. But, climatology as a science doesn't even exist yet in terms of long term forecasts. The best they can do is a week max, so all this talk about how the climate will look years from now is a joke.

First of all you're ignoring other GHGs. Second, you're still wrong. Your graph clearly shows an exponential curve. The Keeling curve accelerates from 1 ppm/year in 1959 to 2ppm/year. Do you understand how an exponential curve works?

You have just proved my point. Proponents of GW have for years stated that all anti-GW claims were funded by Big Oil companies. None of you screamed for hard evidence of this, you just take it as a given.
The fact that you can on the one hand easily accept that conspiracies are afoot in your opponents team and then deny furiously any accusation of conspiracy on your own side is further evidence of your lack of objectivity on this stance and why your opinion can't be trusted.
It also proves that science can come to different conclusions based on which side of the fence you are on, which means that the viewpoint that wins out in this debate is simply the one that can scream the loudest (not very scientific, imo). Perhaps we should debate the actual research...

Dumb shit. Did you ever take calculus? The derivative of an exponential is an exponential! That means it NEVER approaches linear. Instead it moves farther and farther from linear.

Now lets look at the actual graph here:

Clearly your strawman argument shows that you've gone to the John Cook school of Fallacies to Help Gore Get Even Richer.

And again, you are confusing change in Atmospheric CO2 concentration with anthropogenic CO2 (and other GHGs) flux. The change in anthropogenic CO2 (and other GHGs) flux as shown here

You are dumb as fuck. I'm not talking about the limit of the function. What you are trying to do is "zoom in" on the data at a certain timescale and saying it's linear not exponential. But scaling an exponential function that way just makes it look more linear.

>Almost exactly linear.
So by your own logic, it's not linear, thanks. Only looking at two arbitrary intervals proves nothing you massive tard.

>Idiot. I said 1950, not 1880!
Idiot, that graph has the interval you are talking about perfectly well modeled. The fact that you only want to look at one arbitrary interval does not even help your argument, since an exponential function models that interval fine.

>The rate of increase in the past 27 years is actually a bit less that the previous 27 years. That's NOT exponential.
And that change of rate is NOT linear either. You dumb fuck. Try being consistent. Of course any model will have some error compared to real data, the question is which model explains the data the best.

You are so fucking stupid, that not only can't you see the forest for the trees, you think a rock is a tree! Your original claim was that the effect of CO2 is negligible since it's logarithmic. This is both illogical and empirically false, as I've already shown you that radiative forcing from CO2 has increased linearly >>9414991.
