What's the current state of the art knowledge regarding climate change?

>> No.9443353

>>9443338
we're now getting to the point where we can estimate how fucked individual regions are. Used to be we could only estimate how fucked the whole earth was.

there is so much murky shit involved that it's really hard to know anything

The Paris 2C target was both way too high to be safe and way too low to be attained.
Short of someone finding a magic lantern, things are going to get ugly over the next fifty years.

You could try looking into what global warming actually causes, rather than reciting crap from blogs.

Actually, it will likely only increase the severity of weather events and not the frequency. That's just a stochastic model characteristic, i.e. stretching a system further out of balance causes greater rebound.

What is the optimal temperature of earth?

>> No.9444044

>>9444043
like 1.5°C cooler

>> No.9444067

>>9444043
approximately 200C hotter, which would cause all the humans to die and stop fucking everything up with their rapid-growth-no-natural-predators-high-resource-consumption bullshit

after careful deliberation and decades of study we have concluded that CO2 makes plants grow better.

If it looks like coastal cities are going to be flooded, I fully expect China or India to say "fuck it" and start spraying sulfur aerosols into the upper atmosphere. This fixes the entire warming issue for $20 billion a year or so. Granted it has some other side effects, but is much more manageable than trying to move hundreds of millions inland.

What assumptions is that map based on? It's showing "greening" in areas that are rapidly becoming arid deserts.

>after careful deliberation and decades of study we have concluded that CO2 makes plants grow better.
Only under otherwise-ideal conditions. Which are rare.

>>9445456
As far as I understand, sulphur dioxide cooling is very much a "last resort" kind of thing.
