best thing about the climate meme is that you fags will be butthurt either way

Option 1: Climate change is real and we need to stop all the bad goys in Africa and Asia from mass industrialization. (even though it was cool when we euros did it)

Option 2: Climate change is a hoax, Africans and Asians, particularly China get no restrictions or sanctions on their mass production. India potentially a superpower if they can learn to use toilets. Coal mines in the US open again and poor white bois die of black lung and cancer rates skyrocket

>>136449601

Rather than argue schemantics using straw men we should say what we actaully beleive.

The climate is changing currently. Humans have had some effect although this may not be the main reason its changing. Humans are definaty fucking up the environment, although climate change could be irrelevant to this.

Its clear from historical data that the changes we see are not something new and co2 levels are no where near being the only cause of these cycles. even if humans have had a tangible effect on it i doubt we can stop it now. We should concentrate on things that can actually help rather than legislation that just looks good on paper.

In what way is that a reply to what i said?

I think we are effecting climate change. I also think some of the data being used is cherry picked and using assumptions.

For example; its undoubtable that co2 levels are unnaturally high worldwide, its less clear that these levels are the primary cause of global warming.

There is nothing wrong with sympathysing with both sides of a theory.

how does the position of the moon (which is a tidally locked body) change and what effect would that even have on the Earth's climate?
Changes in the orbital relationship between Earth and sun not only take place on much larger timescales (they don't induce a warming of 1°C in the matter of a few decades), but the current configuration would actually induce a very slow cooling trend, as was the case for the Holocene up until the industrial revolution.

My position is very clear: the changes in concentration of long-lived atmospheric constituents is the only forcing that fits in sign, magnitude and spatial characteristic to the observed warming.

Pollution and climate change are two separate topics with little relation with each other, despite it seeming the contrary.

that would be for the ice-free state then, which is (as of yet) very unlikely and would take thousands of years

a much more likely scenario is a SLR of 6 to 9 meters. That's the condition that existed during the last interglacial, the Eemian (Ipswichian, Riss-Würm, Marine isotope stage 5e), which was a few tenths of a degree warmer than the present.

could this graph be evidence of ancient atlantean civilizations who grew as large as humans and man made their climate change to the point of calamity and then some of them became extinct and some of them traveled to another planet?

If not technological advance, could it have been particular types of animals and plant relations that drove those climates up back then? What left, natural atmosphere adjustments and settlings, and the output and potential slight changes in distance of the sun? Asteroid strikes? Moon wobbles?

>>136455076
A couple thousand years is nothing on the grand scale, monuments from this era will still be standing, and its actually 216 feet not 260, but if only 216 feet can cause billions displaced, seasonal change and food storage, then I would be worried about 30 feet which is 1/10 of that.

Of course climate change is real. The earths climate has always been changing. It was changing long before we got here. It's still unclear how much we're effecting it because agencies like nasa have been caught telling bold faced lies. Not to mention this dipshit al gore who claims to have invented the internet and is now making a sequel to a movie where no of his claims about global warming came true. The real problem is over population. Retarded niggers,spics and asians will not stop breeding like jack rabbits. If it wasn't for overpopulation we wouldn't need all the energy that produces all the pollution.

The planet has been here long before we were, and our environment is one of decay. This is the fundamental law of our universe. Unique environments (vacuum content for this purpose) erode the earth inside it to varying degrees.

You haven't looked into this much, have you?

>>136456796
but the green industry has to start somewhere. This is about the future, in case it is possible someday to create solar panels and windmills and other renewable energy mechanisms that can exist without the need for maintenance for 50 years or more.

But ok, anyway. Solar panels are just one part of renewable energies. Youre statement holds true for all of them? Even though once they are created, like windmills, they may not be polluting? The amount of energy a windmill land in denmark or somewhere will produce in its lifetime in equal terms to oil will be more pollution?

It doesnt have a namr beyond the cycle of CO2 on this planet, it's literally as simple as those words in that order with 0 nuance in between any of them. I thought you guys were supposed to be all logical and sheeit, why's this hard.

We know for a fact that CO2 has existed on this planet in much greater quantities in the past. What we know of the time is that most organisms were actually much larger, and more successful.

The earth changes, has changed, and will continue to change with and without humanity's consent or involvement. Try not to stress so much.

it is impossible for C02 to negatively effect the environment? The climate?

Obviously if a sphere of 99999999^99999 C02 was tossed onto Earth it would negatively effect the climate.

>>
>>136456952
See, your question is supposed to sound challenging and difficult but anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds thinking about the topic can realize how much of a softball it is.

the CO2 changes of the past are the result of changes between carbon sources and carbon sinks. Take a random example: in the early Paleogene, CO2 was on a general increase (as was temperature), which was associated with the fast movement of the Indian subcontinent through the tethys, which was a large depocenter for continental carbonates.

The trend of falling CO2 concentrations (and falling temperatures) that followed on the other hand is the result of the main phase of the alpine orogeny, which threw up the Himalayas and a bit later the Andes.

>We know for a fact that CO2 has existed on this planet in much greater quantities in the past.
vegetation consumes C02 right? So the vast dip in CO2 levels throughout history, could be a vast growth of vegetation?

Just because those creatures evolved to be larger and more successful doesnt mean the creatures that have adapted to current trends would adapt to be larger and more successful if ""suddenly"" CO2 levels drastically rose
>>
>>136457740
You mean that cycle that has very clearly been going on entirely unhindered or aided by humanity for thousands upon thousands of years, but now that we exist on one arm of a swing we take full responsibility for everything it does?
Nah, man, we didn't hit pause when we evolved. We just happen to have made a vaguely correlating structure within a larger pattern that couldn't care less about us.

>In order for that statement to be true, we would need to agree upon what "negatively" affecting the environment might do

I said if you take 99999999^9999 (exaggerated for an appropriate arguments sake) particles of CO2 and tossed them onto Earth, we would imagine negative consequences? as likely if you tossed that quantity of any molecule into the atmosphere it would be bad effects. Just like maybe you can drink a water bottle with .001% of poison. Maybe .002% maybe .025% and survive, but you cannot drink a certain type of 100% poison and survive.

Obviously, there is a quantity of CO2 of which if introduced into the atmosphere would be bad.

Start at the largest possible quantity of obviousness, and work down till a safe number is reached.
>>
>>136457650

I asked about global temprature changes, not co2.

Lets get this clear, there is a not a direct correlation between co2 levels and global tempratures. This means for a fact that other things effect the environment (not that anyone but you even disputes this seemingly)


And before you straw-man me again. I do not dispute that co2 plays a part in global tempratures, only that its one of many variables.
>>
>>136457824
The bugs and birds weren't the only big organisms back in the day, you know. Long necked animals need tall trees with an unholy fuck ton of vegetation to exist. CO2 is basically a nutrient of the air to most organisms, it would appear as though if allows for atmospheric gigantism. CO2 dropping made things shrink, but I'll be honest when I say I don't know what started the downward trend, the same way we don't know what caused the current upward trend we're on now.

That's not a question, it's a statement with an improper punctuation mark. I'm afraid I can't converse with you if we're not following the same rules of grammar.

That being said, allow me to reiterate. Your giant (something you have failed to specify entirely) of CO2 will do something. Probably. We're not sure other than it's confirmed effect as some kind of greenhouse gas. This effect may be positive or negative. Same thing as before, we're not sure, but taxing us doesn't help anything.
>>
>>136458078
my post not only explicitly includes temperature, but it doesn't even have to, since temperature followed CO2 concentration very closely

you're not going to win a flower pot with climatologists for pointing out that there are other mechanisms that influence surface temperature in the present and past - they have been discussing this for decades now.

>>136457951
>we take full responsibility for everything it does?

No one is arguing for full. People are arguing for preventable bad.

You do not believe human activity has any considerably detrimental effect on the climate.

Other people believe it does. Lots of attempts of proofs. Difficult to determine the truth.

Eeeehhh. Don't make absolute statements, it's easy for lesser debators to detract from the greater argument.

That being said, I'd say it sounds like we've fully articulated these thoughts and you're right, at the end of it all it all comes back to a single axiom of logic. Does man-made CO2 affect the environment greatly. I'm glad we didn't have to spend 3 hours slugging it out with links and graphs, but it basically boils down to whether you build your foundation on the supposition that that statement is affirmative or negative. Beyond that, the logical extensions don't go too much farther.

And then it turns out that we're both wrong and everyone gets eaten by a giant space frog next month or something.

A new question then that I think is an interesting one. Lets pretend it is possible that man made climate change is possible. Lets pretend its happening now as result of the past 300 + years of continually increased industrial developmental history (or whatever is claimed), and/or lets pretend it is possible that another 100 or 200 years of these trends would result in it being possible for man to negatively (to semi drastically negatively) effect the climate:

Would you support any attempted discussions and measures to attempt to curb it, if it was at some point provably true?

You're building a great flaming strawman and you're doing it for your side, not mine.

Where exactly do you think man made CO2 is entering the environment environment masse prior to the industrialisation of western civilization. And yet, we have extensive records of an ongoing cycle of rise and fall of CO2 in the environment.

The argument is that humans managed to fuck things up totally in THAT short amount of time, and ignore all the evidence that says we entirely coincidentally managed to fit into a larger even and flow that we don't understand yet.

well it feels like it was to you that i had to clarify this. My view is simply that its far too complicated for us to quantify co2 levels to cliamte change itself given these historical variables and general lack of understanding.

You see after a while of apocalyptic hyperbole people become desensitised to it.

Then there's the intellectual dishonesty that the World has already moved beyond reversing the inevitable destruction that will occur from rising waters.

In other words nothing we do now will stop what has been predicted - assuming what is predicted is scientific and accurate.

Even if you believe that we arent affecting temperature, youd have to admit that burning coal for energy and having a high number of fuel hungry vehicles introduces a lot of pollutants. Sensible short term fixes are a shift to natural gas and nuclear, filters on coal plants to trap the airborne pollutants for safe solid disposal and more fuel efficient/hybrid vehicles. Hybrids would be excellent for city and highway commuters.

if REAL science demonstrates that the unrestricted release of jjism is destroying the ozone layer, ill be the first one to go on a No Fap, but your hysterical claims and al gore's hypocrisy are insufficient grounds for me to make any decision, not even what im having for lunch.

your inability to imagine what might go wrong if the left's wet dreams come true is a failure of your imagination, not a lack of consequences.

the paris accords would have ended america's economy while doing absolutely nothing to stop the biggest polluters, china, india, africa, etc.

if your neighbors complain because theres dog shit on the streets, do you
A: pass an ordinance requiring dog owners to clean up their dog's shit
or
B: impose an exorbitant tax to fund an elite team of ninja dogshit scoopers to patrol the streets 24/7 and secure the dogshit in platinum lined, hermetically sealed waste disposal bags

If doing the opposite of absolutely nothing to slow the biggest polluters, china, india, africa what would you think then?

5 wrongs dont make a right and if your friends jump off a bridge yada yada. But ok, all nations agree to curb hazardous environmental pollution, to some small degree which the totality of unbiased climate scientists agree on, as something of a start, for the fear is we are attempted to patch a tire while on the move

Over the span of earth, (not even talking raising taxes here) the taxes that are collected from the companies that are considered to potentially be the greatest contributors to pollution are directly used for this sort of research, so it doesnt come out of your pocket?

because the biggest fear was the warming, but then from there is was realized there would be more effects then just warming, like more extreme, different, weather phenomenon. Not everywhere in the world might just get warmer, and if places here and there do get warmer, that can have potentially climate effects on a different here and there.

The theory seemed to be, its alarming that it might be true that at several places across the world temperatures might be rising, global warming... but this is not the only factor, global warming itself would be able to be called, climate change. If the globe warmed, climates would change.
