This year for the first time CO2 levels in the atmosphere haven't

We know how this will end. Only when its too late will action actually be taken.

Jurassic period had 1800 ppm

we have a long way to go until we can build a Jurassic park

>muh doomsday scenario

Oh god, it's 2 degrees hotter!

>>8436858
You just made me want to drop nuclear physics in favour of genetics, so that we, together, can make the Park happen, anon.

Big difference in terms of adaptability of life you retard

>>8436875
Thing is, life on Earth has survived with such temperates before. In fact, hotter, not to mention the fact that several times in Earth's history life has been utterly obliterated and yet survived. Also, no animal has ever been as technologically advanced as we have, thus giving us good odds when it comes to survival.

I think we need to start building clean energy on a large scale, this includes nuclear

However, the sun wasn't as bright then

Way to go, C3 plants love 1400 ppm.

2 degC warmer isn't the end of the world. Probably enough to cause some flooding in coastal cities, and move the boundaries of some ecosystems around a little.

2 degC colder, and we'd have serious problems feeding everyone due to shorter growing seasons pretty much everywhere.

People whining about a little warming should be careful what they wish for.

This

It's okay though let the sub 130 IQ people live in fear of some retarded doomsday

Anyone reasonably intelligent understands what a supreme joke global warming is.

The Eco-Weenies' solutions are not fast acting enough.

We need drastic measures
>nuclear power plants built everywhere
>iron sulphate dumps in the ocean
>sulfur dioxide pumped into the high atmosphere.
>dropping population growth to below replacement, everywhere.
>reduced meat and dairy consumption.
>fishing bans

>>8436968
Why?

>>8436881
>no animal has ever been as technologically advanced as we have, thus giving us good odds when it comes to survival.
You can't eat your Ipad pal. Also living in settlements makes us very fragile to climatic change. If we were still nomads and not with such large populations climatic change would be much less of a problem.
>>8436968
>>iron sulphate dumps in the ocean
>>sulfur dioxide pumped into the high atmosphere.
Wasn't the problem with those not that we don't know the potential side effects?

We've been too long in a state of CO2 scarcity

Let the plants BLOOM!

>>8436883
C3 plants also hate high temperatures

>>8436979
>cut carbon emissions drastically
>get CO2 out of the ocean and into a solid form.
>reflect solar energy
>cut carbon emissions
>cut carbon emissions and leave more land for natural plant life to soak CO2
>allow ocean ecosystems to recover.

The problem with them is that it would solve a problem that people don't want to solve.

Global warming exists as a non problem that people can parade around to low IQ people.

>>8436984
I meant why do all of those things? Why stop global warming?

Cost-benefit it.

Also picture of a CO2 SIMULATION
And then when the satellite got up, showed totally different major CO2 sources aka equitorial rainforests being the vast bulk.

>>8436981
sulfur dioxide in the air will increase the chances of acid rain. we have to keep doing it because temperatures will rebound quickly once we stop. so we do it as a bandage until we can cut carbon emissions significantly and co2 levels start to decline.

iron sulphate alage blooms could create dead zones in the ocean. all the algae that sinks to the bottom, could end up turning into methane.

>>8436981
>Impying we wouldn't find a way to feed ourselves.

>>8436968
How about letting large swaths of land forestate or reforestate? I know of many examples in which environments become (re)forestated but ecological restoration projects hold this back. If shit's serious we better let it forestation happen.

Also we should protect peat bogs or restore those, since they hold a lot of carbon. Same with mangroves.

>>8436988
weather pattern shifts move where it rains and where it doesn't . huge sections of farmland become unusable. previous arid places are now humid climates and have flooding problems.

russian and canadian permafrost needs to stay frozne. if it thaws and all that methane gets out. then we'll see temperatures well above medieval warm period.

if greenaland and anartica melt, then ocean levels will rise. ocean salinity levels will change, and ocean currents will change.

>>8437002
Not sure if eating our pets and fellow humans is such a good way to feed ourselves

Q: Why always Mauna Loa?
A: It outgasses CO2.

>>8437012
hundreds of trillions of dollars in damage and new spending needed to cope.

famines, shortages, price spikes.

power shifts to new nations as they become agriculture powers and other countries can't farm anymore.

conflicts over fresh water supplies.

loss of biological diversity.

Not at all, 40°C is ok, like Morocco.

Do you actually think natural climate change happens at such a fast rate? You need to think in geological time scales. The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum was one of the most abrupt climate transitions that has ever occurred, and it took at least 20,000 years of massive carbon emissions for it to set in.
In the modern day global warming scenario we're talking about a little more than a hundred years.
