Nobody denies that climates change, that's denying seasons. People are skeptical of the claim "the world is warming and it's your fault for using (insert commercial product here)." I happen to be one of those skeptics, and I really would like to know when this supposed climate change of yours started, because you can't be talking about the world's temperature naturally changing. I understand that our carbon footprint can play a role, but I cast doubt on the veracity of claims that say it's more impactful than our magnetosphere, among other, natural factors.

I find you uneducated of your claims and pathetic for calling others names. You deserve what you reap.

Also, Americans like to do this thing called irony. If you give us a shitpost, we usually like to shitpost back, to let you know that's what we're seeing on our end, it's why american in-fighting has such good banter here. It's fun, and you should try it, instead of making us give you a real reply.

Claiming seasons are the same as climate shows a lack of understanding of the terms at play.

Climate describes overall behavior from year to year, not the changes within a year. For example, A temperate climate will have warm summers and cold winters, where a tropical climate has a rainy and dry seasons, etc. The seasons are aspects of the climate you're in. Changing seasons doesn't change the climate.

>>134110827
Here's a relatively complete chart of all temperature over time we have recorded. Note how much farther back it goes than yours (500 million years vs ~350 thousand, ie >1000x farther). Note that current temperatures are still below average, which supports the "current ice age" claim. This claim is also supported by the fact that we have year-round ice at the poles, which is not always the case as archeologically shown. Also note that the chart shows multiple forms of temperature sources differently, even when they overlap, and provides individual sources for each data set shown.

Also worth noting: The source for the CO2 concentrations you provide is, other than the final data set, from the same ice samples as the temperature readings. The methodology is relatively simple, much like geologic dating: measure layers of freezing and melting, count them, and you have your years. Measure the CO2 trapped in the layers, and you have that year's relative CO2 concentration.

However, the final set is from CO2 concentrations in-atmosphere around the globe. These are not comparable measurements to CO2 trapped in ice at the poles (wildly different climates), and the fact they are treated as the same on this chart is highly misleading.
>>
>>134114803
>that conclusion doesn't really follow from that piece of data, it just shows CO2 is efficient at absorbing energy, it doesn't adress the changing composition of the atmosphere

That doesn't matter unless we are now going to investigate gasses produced from CO2 and the other atmospheric gasses creating new compounds that have different characteristics. CO2 is stable and needs a large amount of energy to disrupt, it's why it is used in fire suppression.

>also there are hypothesized delayed and multiplying warming effects to CO2 (specially if you account for interaction with other gases) and adding more at this point will at the very least extend the problem to much longer into the future as it takes a long time to degrade in the atmosphere

I doubt we have many second order effects from CO2 concentration that wouldn't have manifested by now that are not vastly more complex interaction with other potential factors.

For example what's the temperature effect of having more CO2 on plant life. Does the change in growth rate that changes the weather still get count as a CO2 effect?

The only new potential interaction CO2 can have on the climate are no longer related to it's power as a greenhouse gas. CO2 has more or less capped out the amount of warming it can cause.

>CO2 warming is capped out. Adding more will do nothing.
I trust data more than you. And physics. Nature doesn't provide for some magic "on-off" switch. For any given gas pressure in our atmosphere, every gas in that atmosphere has a certain combined likelihood of interacting with photons of different wavelenghta. As with all gases, if you're increase their concentration, interactions go up. It is not a linear trendline, but it certainly isn't a sharp increase followed by a flat no-increase line.
>>
>>134112703
The warming effect of adding CO2 plateaus: You need to add more and more CO2 to get the same amount of warming. The growth rate of our CO2 emissions was driven by thepopulation growth rate of the 20th century, which is itself plateauing.

Ergo the cause of the problem is being solved and all we need to do is adapt to the warming already locked in.

There is no runaway greenhouse effect risk for us.

>I trust data more than you. And physics. Nature doesn't provide for some magic "on-off" switch.
No. Which is why I later said the limit of zero.

>For any given gas pressure in our atmosphere, every gas in that atmosphere has a certain combined likelihood of interacting with photons of different wavelenghta. As with all gases, if you're increase their concentration, interactions go up. It is not a linear trendline, but it certainly isn't a sharp increase followed by a flat no-increase line.

And CO2 has the limit of total interaction or absorption. Adding more doesn't stop any more energy from exiting out to space, as we already stop the limit of all of it.

Lets say you have a normal flashlight. If you cover it in aluminum foil you block the visible light completely. What you are saying is that by adding more foil you can block more of the visible light. I'm saying it's already all blocked and adding more isn't going to do anything.

>>134115906
We can disregard greenhouse gas emissions over a certain concentration as their atmospheric effect tapers down as concentration increases. At around 25C average global temp you just do not get any higher even if you quite massively increase CO2 levelas. You would have to get into levels for beyond 5000ppm such as 50,000ppm or 5-10 percent to go a significant portion higher than 25C.

I think you are purposely taking him 100% literal. He obviously recognizes that CO2 interacts within specific bands of energy.

>>134116847
The wavelengths that CO2 absorbs energy on are totally absorbed by overlap with other gasses and by the CO2 currently in the atmosphere.

So adding more CO2 can't absorb more energy. You can see through CO2 because the wavelengths of visible light pass through it. If you could see other frequencies or energy levels of light you could eventually find the wavelengths it absorbs on and it would block your sight.

The planet is cooled by radiation which goes around greenhouse gases, not through them.

About 8% of the available black body radiation is picked up by these "fingerprint" frequencies of CO2.

>And i just told you we would all be dead if CO2 right now would literally be absorbing all he light in the fingerprint frequencies which it can interact with.

You are aware than when the CO2 absorbs EM energy, it emits EM energy at a lower energy carrying away some of the energy off and further up?

The CO2 heating effect while absorbing all the energy at the set wavelengths is also passing on a large amount of energy at a different lower energy wavelength. It's not capturing all the energy as heat, only losing it as black body radiation.

>Dude, you can even test this at home. Just set up a balloon, a temp measurement instrument and an UV light. Based on different ballon CO2 mixtures you will get different heating curves.

I'd love to hear what balloon you can use that's transparent to UV light and transparent to the lower energy emissions of the CO2.

>So, because oil is so cheap it is not as economically viable. Do you realize just how stupid your argument is? Probably not.

Lets say you can produce 1000 units of oil at a cost of 50 units of money. If the price of oil falls below 50 units you can't make any money producing that oil.

If the price was 75 units of money you could produce your 1000 units of oil and maybe look at expanding.

If the price of oil was $80 you would make a huge amount of production viable again.
Right now everyone is looking at ways to cut costs. Some production isn't viable because the price of oil is lower than the cost of production.

Why waste time with electric cars when you can make fuel from water?

Take a nuclear reactor, use it to crack hydrogen from water.
Extract CO2 that dissolves in water.
Run through a catalytic process and get custom made hydrocarbon fuel out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8zOHZINyG8

Keep all your current ICEs, distribution networks and technical know how. All you do is replace the refinery and production side with something different.

Due to how the electrical grid works, you have period of low electrical demand. In those times you produce the hydrogen, letting your reactors run at 100% output.

It's actually happening right now with natural gas.

The price of natural gas is so low that wells are being shut in and processing plants are shutting down or running in ultra low output mode.

While at the same time people that want to buy natural gas are having trouble due a lack of supply. While they might want to buy the gas no single consumer is large enough for production facilities to resume production.

Right now we have low prices, extra production, distribution and refining capacity, but a shortage of natural gas.

Because when including the papers from the 1960s and 1970s that indicated the globe had cooled (by -0.3° C between the 1940s and ’70s), that this cooling was concerning

Peterson (2008) only looked at papers that predicted global warming, global cooling, or remained neutral. Yet this trash source is saying we should totally include papers that had no predictions at all because they feel like it. There was slight global cooling from the '40s to the '70s, but that says fuck all about a prediction later. It also doesn't mean anything since we now know the planet has warmed since that time period anyway.

>Global cooling was actually being taught in schools

And again, it is true there was slight cooling in that time period. But if schools were teaching that there would be global cooling in the future, they were dead wrong.

The process of making the hydrocarbon is actually slightly net positive in total energy for the process. The real energy cost is in cracking the hydrogen and extracting the CO2. However with water near it's critical point the cost in electrical energy to break it is vastly low than at lower temperatures. It's actually cheaper energy wise to heat water to it's critical point and then electrolize it than to do it to water below 100C and at atmospheric pressure.

You forget that we don't need an energy efficient cycle but a money efficient cycle. With the ability to run a nuclear reactor at full load all the time you can build a full nuclear electrical grid and not have a usage factor of only 40%.

The production of liquid fuels also ends the need for mass extraction of oil. Makes sulfur free fuel and reduces humanities main CO2 emissions sources, electricity and fuel for vehicles to near zero. If you care about CO2. Personally I don't but that's not the point.

Depends what you're discussing. Scientists are certain humans are the primary driver of current climate change. They're certain that CO2 is a heat trapping gas.

He believes that for the future benefit of society births must be regulated to either people who have little to no genetic abnormalities, or only if the genes for those abnormalities have been edited out, and in general only the intelligent would be allowed to have kids.

It was to counter your point regarding new "green" technologies, as posted:

>other than with nuclear, has not been proven to work without huge government incentives to offset economic losses.

My point was that with enough economies of scale, anything, no matter how complex, costly or risky (thus the oilrig example), can become economic viable, including these new technologies. That's it. The point is valid because at some point oilrigging was also seen in the very same light, too much of a technological and economic challenge, with exploration efforts in many countries being spearheaded by the government itself.

You went into your own pricing tangent, which is entirely besides the point: until economies of scale are established, price competition is viewed as a second-rate factor, as investors expect to operate at a loss already, with the focus not on market share but on innovation.

A proper rebuttal would have been "then why does the government have to put money into it?". Of course, to increase demand and supply levels, which are needed to reach said economies of scale. Since few investors are willing to operate at a loss (but some are), progress comes slowly, thus the government can accelerate this process via both subsidizing and regulations (if it is the will of the people for the government to act so). Once these new industries are able to stand on their own feet, price competition kicks in. And it does happen, here in Brazil you can find ethanol from sugar cane in every gas station, and a large part of our car fleet can operate on both traditional gas and ethanol, thanks to the govt.

Odds are we'll live the 21st century with both traditional and green energy projects competing for market share, with the less lucrative endeavors on both sides shutting down, as a greater supply of energy drives prices down as a whole (if unmet by demand), and with low prices it becomes more difficult for energy projects to become economic viable.

Oil wins out under any scale of use right now. That was my point. I find your entire post of ifs, ands and whatnots to be on a ridiculous "tangent."

Here in america, you can also find ethanol at every gas station -- made from corn and subsidized by the government.

Of course the reason ethanol is viable over there is because gas prices are TOO HIGH. Which is the opposite of low. We were discussing why low oil costs do not cause shortages (you disagreed).

Your entire post is an attempt to falsely reconstruct the flow of conversation and substitute one point in particular for the original point which was the effect of low oil prices.

In other words, you're a lying piece of shit and will say anything to "win".

>the government can accelerate this process via both subsidizing and regulations (if it is the will of the people for the government to act so).

We never voted in any subsidies for alternative power and I would be surprised if you did that in brazil.

Did you know that sugar (where your ethanol comes from) is heavily government subsidized?

Funny how they can't tell me what the weather will be 4 hours from now, but 40 years from now? Oh, that's a cinch.

Besides, I don't give a flying fuck if the global temperature rises 3 degrees in 50 years. If that's the greatest threat facing your generation, maybe you pussies should all die from a sunburn.

Global warming is used as reason to argue against western birth rate and say brown birth rate is great. But then they want to flip it and say, "Since the population growth is low we have to import those brown people for labor at our non existant factories."

It's just a major step in the attack on whites so fuck it.

If whites die out then the environment totally will. So our survival is the only answer to climate change. Blacks would have hunted themselves to extinction nearly everywhere by now had we not intervened.

My opinion is that they would live in hunter-gatherer mode and thus would impinge upon the earth very little. The brutality of that existence would keep population low.

>>134108364
>It is a bad thing,
Yes. The speed at which it's happening makes it expensive for humans to adapt. In nature, where adaptation is heavily dependent on genetics, the speed at which it's happening risks causing a lot of extinctions.

>why do Americans deny it is man made?
Because they have an anti government philosophy. Any attempt to address the problem is seen as an unacceptable intrusion into our freedom by big government. So they stick their heads in the sand and ignore the cost of doing nothing, even though that will ultimately require much more government intervention.

>Is it the radical Christians in America who hate the thought God allows us to change the climate?
Partly. Some of them are incredibly gullible, and the neocons exploited that, referring to climate change as "the warmist religion". This was a very shrewd move on the neocons part, because as well as making many of the radical Christians view scientific truth as evil, it made many of the dimmer atheists view it as irrational!

My 8 year old niece needs a heart transplant soon. She's had so many blood transfusions she's probably inoperable. Heart functionality has fallen from 95% to 28% in the span of a month. If she even can have the operation she'll only have 1-5 years to live. God isn't real. Christians are the dumbest motherfuckers on earth.

>right now

oil, gas and coal don't win against hydro in many countries

oil, gas and coal don't win against geothermal in iceland

oil, gas and coal don't win against wind in high efficiency areas, and soon it'll be the same for solar

get with the time gramps, extracting oil, refining it and moving it around the globe is HARD and EXPENSIVE and it's only getting harder and more expensive to produce as new reserves are harder to reach and of sometimes poor quality (except for fracking, keep in mind the USA IS the global exception here), while prices are going down because arabcucks are flooding the market while some countries are steering away from it creating a supply excess, both factors together working to bring down profit margins which will shut down less competitive projects and reduce investor interest

>>134129898

yes, it's a long-term strategy to take the lead in the global biofuel market which we would already have if you cucks stopped heavily subsidizing corn for ethanol which is 5 times less efficient than our sugar cane, getting into your massive market would drive economies of scale even further possibly making it competitive with gas because of our devalued currency, this btw is the current number 1 issue on the USA-Brazil relationship and it has been since the doha rounds started

and no I didn't vote for it because the statization and monopolization of our oil reserves happened under the government of a former fascist developmentalist president back in the 50's (with massive support from society otherwise chevron would be all over our coastline now) and the program for development of ethanol as an alternative energy source started in the 80's under the military dictatorship as a response to the oil shock of 79

Climate change, global warming, whatever you want to call it. It's going to be good for the planet, not bad.

You're not wrong but I'm completely okay with it. If the rest of the world decided to enhance global warming I'd probably be a tree hugger.

Climate change is "real," but is grossly exaggerated.
It is a naturally occurring phenomena on Earth.
Humans may be contributing to it, but we we're born to adapt.
Climate change has, however, been co-opted by international socialist agendas.

Yes, it does. Here's the full sentence, which was cut off because it's long and wasn't necessary to quote it in full.

>Because when including the papers from the 1960s and 1970s that indicated the globe had cooled (by -0.3° C between the 1940s and ’70s), that this cooling was concerning (leading to extreme weather, drought, depressed crop yields, etc.), and/or that CO2’s climate influence was questionable to negligible, a conservative estimate for the number of scientific publications that did not agree with the alleged CO2-warming “consensus” was 220 papers for the 1965-’79 period, not 7.

Now, please tell me where in that sentence that states that it's including those papers does it say anything about predicting future climate change.

>Climate change is "real," but is grossly exaggerated.
By who?

>It is a naturally occurring phenomena on Earth.
Not it isn't. We can clearly mesure the human contribution: we're causing about 80% to 120% of the observed warming.

>http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/may/31/mars-also-undergoing-climate-change-ice-age-retrea/
That's nice, but completely irrelevant. Measuring the strength of the solar forcing is pretty easy, and it's not increasing on the time-scale we care about.

So just looking at the graph showing the levels of endorsement of Cook et al. (2013), you can see some major lying with statistics. It's true that of the nearly 12,000 abstracts, about 66 percent took no position at all. However, this "study" is including that in its pie chart pretending this is somehow an endorsement of anything. The 97 percent figure comes from the abstracts that *did* take a position, so including the papers that took no position at all and including that to try and debunk the conclusion is straight up bullshit dishonesty, which isn't surprising since Friends of Science is bought and paid for by fossil fuel interests. You're literally citing propaganda.

Now, if you actually read Cook's study, you'd see that there's 7 levels of endorsement, including "implicit endorsement," meaning that the authors *already assume* that humans are causing global warming. They're well past showing that humans are because the literature has already well-established that. Your dishonest source tosses those responses out and pretends that only the ones that "explicitly endorse" count, which again is dishonest bullshit. It also throws out explicit endorsement without quantification.

If that methodology isn't sound for you, the study also includes a survey of authors they emailed and got a response from. The authors self-rated their own papers and the study *also* got a 97 percent endorsement. Considering how shit your source handled just this one study, I'm going to assume it's also dishonest as hell with the rest.

>>134138875
Did you even read it?

Because it sure as hell doesn't seem so.

CO2 cannot reflect enough light to cause these temperature changes. It has been far hotter before, and the politicians who run the whole damn thing told us the world was cooling just 40 years ago.

Never consider something a crisis until the people warning you start acting like it's a crisis.

I'm actually still working my way through it - its a pretty dumb collection of "I don't understand it so it's wrong".

>CO2 cannot reflect enough light to cause these temperature changes.
Yes it can.

>It has been far hotter before
So what? It's the rate of change that's alarming, not the absolute temperature. Our civilization and agriculture is set up to deal as particular climate.

>Never consider something a crisis until the people warning you start acting like it's a crisis.
Climatologists ARE acting like it's a crisis. Don't blame me for your shitty choice of sources.

It certainly can and has. That's how a heat-trapping gas works.

Stop listening to politicians and listen to the scientists. Even 40 years ago there six times as many papers predicting global warming than papers predicting global cooling. Find a new talking point.
