Doesn't work that way. That'd be like asking how do we unscramble an egg.
We have to minimize our emissions o slow the rate at which the warming occurs and/or find ways to make sure we continue surviving in the heated world.

As a last resort kind of measure we can throw a ton of sulfur into the air and cool the earth using the fact that sulfur aerosols will reflect incoming sunlight and help global cooling.

This is a risky as fuck move because it can cause plenty of problems of it's own, but it's certainly an option and may have to be seriously considered given the current state of american politics.

The North American Drought Atlas is a database of drought reconstructions based on tree rings from species including California bristlecone pines and giant sequoias.

In 1580 rivers flowed at just a quarter of their usual volume, and giant sequoias grew no new wood. California's climate history is marked by much longer droughts, including megadroughts lasting 100 years, and several decades-long droughts, which makes the current drought just one of many minor dry spells.

I think the best plan is reducing the emissions as much as we can and doing everything we can to help nature rebuild itself. Planting trees in abandoned land that used to be farmed, trying to, concentrate people to let nature have a single big space instead of small pieces, but at the same time trying to lower the number of people in the biggest cities and so on.

tl;dr we should shift from reducing co2 to reducing human impact as a whole

Same page here, pro warming and pro CO2, because 'global greening'. Unfortunately CO2 has almost nothing to do with global temperature (CFCs have some influence). As to the warming, the modern warm period is essentially over and during solar cycle 25 we (in the North) may learn again why a year without winter is a blessing compared to a year without summer.

An early indicator for developing cooling conditions would be a marked increase in precipitation around the 60N belt, moving northward. Eurasia first, then North America. A parameter to monitor is the accumulated surface mass balance of Greenland (southern tip is at 60N). The short melting season starts in June and ends in August. Apart from this I'd suggest to watch solar activity (SN and TSI) and (for entertainment) RSS, UAH and ESLR :)

When the time comes I'll be in Malta.

His point is this, you scientifically illiterate fuck

The spectrum of light coming in is different to the spectrum going out. CO2 is transparent at more of the incoming spectrum than the outgoing spectrum, ergo it retains energy in the atmosphere rather than allowing it to escape to space. You can't argue with simple thermodynamics. Well, YOU can, but that's because you don't know any better.

Changes too rapid to adapt to (more than 2 degrees C above the pre-industrial average by 2100) can be staved off if carbon neutrality can be achieved by the mid 2030s, with carbon capture and storage increasing beyond that point to become carbon negative being assumed. If carbon negativity is achieved as early 2025, then the warming can be limited to 1.5 degrees C by 2100 - for reference, the 1 degree mark was passed recently.

As for reversing it, you can't unless you manage to shove almost all the carbon we've released in the industrial period back into the ground. As it is, the warming will continue indefinitely until a new equilibrium is reached (as the Earth gets hotter, it will radiate more until the outgoing radiation is equal to the incoming radiation again) or some other climatic shift happens, like our orbit shifting, but it may be tens or hundreds of thousands of years before that happens. That's the thing people don't mention - it's not just a couple of degrees warming or a few meters of sea level rise we're talking about here, those things are what will happen by the end of the century. The warming will go on for millennia - when the present becomes as distant to us as we are to the construction of the pyramids, the seas will still be rising. Unless we pull all that CO2 back in, that is.

About 0.2 m on global average - some places will have risen more, some less. This mainly reflects thermal expansion of the ocean water as it absorbs heat, which is currently proceeding at 1.2-1.6 mm per year. Large increases in sea level will begin once the melting of the land-based ice sheets starts to accelerate - so far, mainly sea ice has been melting which obviously does not raise the sea level (due to the mechanics of buoyancy). As such, the contribution of glacial melting is around 20 mm so far and from the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet unknown, but current estimates are around 0.2 mm per year. This will increase in future, of course. Additionally, in the far future, once these ice caps have significantly melted, the decrease in mass pushing down on the Earth's crust will cause it to rebound (as it is currently doing in the northern hemisphere, in response to the melting of the ice from the last ice age) which will cause the Earth to become more spherical, redistributing water from the poles to the equator. Needless to say that won't be good for anyone living there, but by that point they'll have had thousands of years to get used to high seas anyway.

Jevon's Paradox. The EROEI among so called 'renewables' like solar and wind which actually require an oil based infrastructure to manufacture and are very application specific are the worst. In some cases they will use more energy over their lifetime than they give back. Without the massive subsidies coming from the west it is doubtful that much energy would have gone into those particular renewables to begin with that China is happy to peddle. Don't mean to piss in your cornflakes but pushing wind and solar would not make any difference in CO2 emissions and perhaps increase them through the manufacturing process, increase the release of toxic compounds into the environment and in no way shape or form a replacement for fossil fuels. They can supplement some fossil fuel driven grids at most and only in ideal locations. Just an artifact of living in the oil age really.

China apparently, the country is an environmental nightmare.
The panels and mills are made mostly from composite materials that require modern manufacturing to construct and mass produce. These facilities suck enormous energy and consume massive quantities of fresh water not to mention the manufacture of the power electronics required to control them, attach them to grids. Factor in the battery banks to make them feasible and they have a huge environmental footprint. I doubt all factors are being taken into consideration when calculating EROEI for panels and mills. Mills are especially prone to mechanical and electrical breakdown, panels of course subject to breakdown by the elements and the sunshine itself. Time will tell, and as the price of oil climbs, as it surely will, so will the cost of manufacturing these things as they compete for a limited resource - Jevon's Paradox.

Solar and wind have their niche applications, can supplement a grid. They sure don't address liquid fuel use as in transportation.
>>
>>8558127
The source for your numbers and graph really isn't all that impressive, and basically everything else I've read list EROEIs many times higher for wind and photovoltaic power. In particular, you're relying on information about solar panel manufacturing that's now more than a decade out of date.

I never said you never said this. I said that the claim that climatologists aren't "predicting" accurately is false. I also explained that complaining about climatologists making changing their model is idiotic, as the scientific method demands it.

>It's the reasons for the change I'm skeptical of
If you were actually skeptical, you would look at the evidence and either accept it or explain how the evidence is faulty. You have done neither, nor could you as the greenhouse effect and its related feedbacks are the strongest part of climate science and are based on fundamental physics and chemistry. You are simply espousing a claim convenient to your political ideology. This is the opposite of skepticism.

The fact that you completely ignored the arguments I presented and started politicizing the issue is proof that you aren't a skeptic.

I'm glad they did all that, but they're still pretty far away from limiting their environmental impact, considering they still dump their garbage in the rural areas and pump out 1/3 of the world's human made carbon emissions. That's not even considering what they do with human waste in their countryside. They're still a cancer that the 1st world cannot compete with in terms of staving off carbon emissions. By the time all is said and done, even with China making huge strides, we're pretty fucked because of them.

The flower grows naturally to its greatest state.
The iron needs constant beating and fire to be anything more than a mess of crap.
The problem is, that the iron is shaped by the iron that came before. If you let the iron weaken and become soft, it can only create soft iron.
A flower can't shape the iron, it would be shredded and destroyed.
It needs hard iron and fire, to become what it is meant to be.
Hard iron has come into short supply, and the fire is all but died out.
Iron shaped by soft iron and flowers is soft, weak, and brittle. It also smells of flowers. It breaks at the slightest provocation, since it was not forged in the fire.
It was simply stacked six feet high and told to figure it out.

The planet is not a controlled lab, there is nothing basic about modeling the earths climate with all variables accounted for and any claims saying 'they' can is horse shit. They don't even include margins of error because they are so enormous as to render these models useless. They serve one purpose and obviously biased, to make people afraid of CO2 molecules, make them out to be an enemy of mankind when in fact they are critical to life on this planet. There is no arguing with the AGW cult because it is now interpreted like religious dogma and there seems to be a heavy sunk cost bias, too much time pouring over all those graphs and charts or something?

Climate scientists do not belong in such an industry because creating ridiculous computer models of this planets climate on a garbage in garbage out principle is unproductive and benefits no one.

We should no doubt be looking for good alternative sources of energy though, perhaps hiring more environmental scientists and chemists, not running a crusade against fossil fuel and an inquisition of the CO2 molecule. Attach a huge bureaucratic governmental parasite to that process and it will not be efficient, accomplish nothing of value and may make it worse. The real problem is fossil fuel depletion, not the emission of that spent product. If you are looking for a pop religion there are probably better choices out there, than the damaging, prophetic AGW religion.

Modern farming has probably reached or passed peak efficiency. We basically eat oil. We put about 10 calories of energy in and harvest about 1 calorie of food out. Getting more inefficient every day as all the best arable land has been farmed for a century or more and growing that by chopping down rain forest to plant crops or seed for grazing is a huge error in planning as that soil is not good, most of the nutrients were in the vegetation. Mass famine is inevitable at this juncture and it has not much to do with changing climate, more human population overshoot and everything being done to extend that well over the cliff. Same error ruling modern economic theory, perpetual growth in a finite world.

I dont think anyone can disagree with keeping the air clean for themselves and their kids. It is only possible, when your life depends on trying to kill the environment for them $ like the inefficient coal industry that is being propped up in the U.S.

but the idea that industries should be made more inefficient to control for things which have a neglible impact on the global temps is stupid. Natural gas pipelines release tons of methane that is vented into the atmosphere because of inefficient standardized seals on pipe connectors. Or is simply burned because the energy market isn't ready to buy it because its stuck on fucking coal.

Fucking christ, even just limiting any couple to two children would make a vast improvement.

But NOOO, people still believe that it's humanity's sole purpose to spread and multiply despite not even considering the end goal, just like how people still believe in the fucking "healing" properties of crystals. YOU CAN'T LIMIT MUH CHILDREN FAMILY IS PRECIOUS AND HAVING A BIG FAMILY IS PART OF MUH CULTURAL TRADITION etc. etc. Ever stop and fucking consider the fact that the ancient people who popularized those traditions didn't even fucking know that other humans lived on nearby continents? Or that there were other continents? Or that humans would spread across every inch of all these continents until we can't produce enough animals and plants to feed them all? Or that the world, and all humanity, could get crushed under its own weight, ending the world before some malevolent god even has the chance?

But no, gotta have like six fucking kids that you can barely afford to feed and educate. Who cares if those kids even have a world left to live in after you're gone? Gotta have a big family and fulfill that sentimental part of your child-like brain so that you feel happy and are content, regardless of who else has to suffer for it.

Making sure every country in the world has undergone at least industrialization stage 3 would be an improvement, The impoverished countries of the world are currently in stage 2, where modern medicine and agricultural innovation has allowed populations to boom, but there has not been social forces to drag down the birth rate to a replacement rate.

Holy slippery slope Batman! Why didn't you just go all the way and say that doing this would bring the Nazi regime back into full swing and plunge the world into darkness? There are pragmatic and even-handed ways to enforce these kinds of regulations. Would some people end up having extra kids illegally and end up getting them confiscated? Yes. They knew the risks, they knew the laws, and they chose to break them. The same way that murdering someone ends up taking several years of your life while you sit in prison. Crimes are met with punishments, and appropriate punishments for the crimes. It's not like I'm saying "NO MORE KIDS!", I'm just saying that we shouldn't be living beyond our means.

That might not even be born? You yourself are advocating for no restrictions or regulations on childbirth. You think that the future population ISN'T going to skyrocket the way it already has been? The only way there may not be future generations who have to live with the consequences of our hedonism is if we end up killing off all humans before the new generations have a chance to deal with our runoff. It's not about my happiness, the results of chilbirth regulations wouldn't even be seen in my lifetime. It's about the fucking long-term prosperity of the future of humanity as a whole. It's about being part of the generation who staved off the end of the world instead of being part of the generation who hastened its onset by contributing to overpopulation.

>I'm sorry you're too mentally ill to live a fulfilling life like a healthy fully functioning person
And that's what I'm talking about. You're the problem. You're the kind of person who doesn't think beyond themselves, the person who thinks that the only way to be "healthy" and "fully-functioning" is to have as many kids as you can make. And as for your "police state", you do realize that most fascist regimes promoted plentiful childbirth to spread their influence and build their armies? Curbing population expansion isn't a personal agenda, it's a fucking global agenda. World governments are already trying to find ways to get people to have less kids in places where they're expanding too fast.

I'm not talking about those populations, those are the ones where the extra childbirths are negated by early deaths. In those cases, rampant birthrates are required for a stable population, for pure survival. In North America, it's a newspaper-headline-making rarity for a child to die before adolescence, so there's no excuse for more than two kids aside from pure sentimentality. It serves no purpose other than to make the parents happy, to "spread and conquer" under their family name, or to make a bigger welfare check.

Warmer temperatures and higher carbon concentrations would increase crop yields across North America, Europe, and northern Asia.

Higher temperatures would also open up huge amounts of land in Canada and Siberia. People are migratory and we could move displaced populations over there.

In the grand scale of things, if climate change got really bad it would give humanity an huge incentive boost to colonize other planets. Humanitie's survivability is greatly increased when present on multiple planets.

By the end of this century, what have been once-in-20-year extreme heat days (one-day events) are projected to occur every two or three years over most of the nation.

Restructure carbon taxes/crap so that it isn't a pork barrel mess. Make it an Alaska system with oil royalties by taxing carbon energy and giving everyone a check to those who pay taxes. People will naturally buy cheaper carbon free stuff and those who don't get punished for it. Politicians can't touch the money so no corruption.

Second thing is iron seeding the oceans. From the small scale test, you could sequester 10% of current carbon emissions. It's not much but it is a fairly feasible idea that is fairly cheap and cost effective.

Interesting, but ultimately stupid and wrong.

>What's striking is that since 2002, global temperatures have actually declined – matching a decline in CFCs in the atmosphere," Professor Lu said. "My calculations of CFC greenhouse effect show that there was global warming by about 0.6 °C from 1950 to 2002, but the earth has actually cooled since 2002. The cooling trend is set to continue for the next 50-70 years as the amount of CFCs in the atmosphere continues to decline."

Pure bullshit. I don't know who this guy is but he's wrong. There has been no pause in global warming and there certainly as hell hasn't been any cooling. This was published in a journal of physics and not climate or earth science. I suspect the author was a physicist only marginally educated in climate science.

It's a somewhat interesting paper in the fact that we really don't know the role cosmic rays have on climate change and his conclusion requests further study in that direction, I readily admit that. We also don't really know the role of high altitude clouds on climate change but this is like saying 'we don't know the role of rain on a rocket's forward momentum through a rainstorm.' It's incredibly unlikely to change our understanding of climatology.

>Ocean Acidification
So all the fish will die? Won't we already experience shortages due to over fishing? Maybe ocean acidification is a good thing.

>Depletion of Oxygen
I don't see the problem. No one has been claiming that humans are running out of air to breath. Wouldn't that just lower the chance of wildfires?

>Increase of storms, floods, and droughts
All over the world, or just in certain areas? If rising sea levels covers Florida in water, why should we care if it gets worse hurricanes?

You still have very vague impacts, which is why I find Climate Change people not compelling when it comes action. People can adapt to this.

>>8565220
Yeah, seasonal heatwaves would get worse, perfectly normal a in Africa and the Middle East today. France would become more of a Mediterranean climate, and we'd lose a couple thousand pensioners who don't do jack. Meanwhile, yields increase, which your study does not mention.

RCP scenarios 8.5 and 6 assume increased population growth, (which is not evident, and contradicted by consensus in which global growth rates will reduce from 1.3% to 0.5% by 2050).
Furthermore, less fossil fuel usage will reflect a future more oriented toward a global service economy and the expansion of nuclear energy.

This follows the storyline of the SRES B1 Emissions Scenario and the predicted outcome is 655 ppm by 2100, RCP4.5 is most likely.

Consequences of 2 - 2.5 Degrees of Warming
http://dels.nas.edu/resources/static-assets/materials-based-on-reports/booklets/warming_world_final.pdf

1. 15-30% decrease in annual rainfall for SW North America, Mediterranean Basin, South America and Sub-Saharan Africa extending dry seasons. Tropical freshwater sources are expected to decrease by 1/3. Massive desertification of the Sahel region will result in loss of habitability causing large-scale migration. 200% increase in wild-fire events in areas affected by decreased rainfall.

2. 15-30% increase in annual rainfall for High-Latitude regions extending wet seasons. High Latitude freshwater sources are expected to grow. Growing seasons and precipitation will increase for Britain, Scandinavia and Yukon

3. 15-30% decrease in stream flow for Mid to Low Latitude waterways. Amazon River Basin can expect 90% loss of its far Western aquatic systems, opening land to agricultural development.

4. 45% reduction in Arctic Sea Ice. Freshwater runoff from melting ice caps will raise ocean levels by 1/2 a meter (1.6 ft), resulting in major flooding in low-lying atolls. Ocean altering pH and possibly effecting marine populations. The northern polar ice will erode significantly opening up the Northwest passage for shipping traffic.

5. 90% of summer seasons expected to be hotter than 95% of all summer seasons during the 20th century. Winters at arctic and temperate latitudes will experience a 3 degree increase in average annual temperature by 2100.

6. Permafrost liquefaction will cause increase mudslide activity in artic regions, positive feedback effect will allow for increased vegetation and yields at high latitudes and till from glacier wash will increase soil arability. Species from lower latitudes will intrude into higher ones.

7. Liquefaction from mountain glacier ice will increase mud and rockslides events, particularly in the Alps and Himalayas. Runoff from increased glacier melting will mitigate evaporation of water tables in Southern Europe and the Indian Subcontinent.

8. Coastal areas will face an increase hurricane presence and areas along the Eastern US, Caribbean, East and South Asia and the Bay of Bengal. These areas will experience faster coastline erosion and increased flood events.

9. Warmer ocean temperatures will cause irreversible loss of coral reef ecosystems disrupting several marine food chains. The ENSO cycle will occur more frequently.

These events can be mitigated through technological innovation in agricultural and potable water production, migration and land-use modifications prior to 2100.

Impacts (2,3,4,7) are positive in my mind, and most of the harms are concentrated in Equatorial areas. People can move. It's not wise to tank your economy because you'll get some refugees. India, Middle East and the Sahel will be uninhabitable regardless of climate change. Time for people to adapt.

His entire argument is flawed. As for cosmic rays please do show the connection between cosmic rays and climate.

Now you're just making excuses.

The point is, if you include the feedback loop (forest fires, methane gases, and rotting corpses) you'll turn planet earth into fucking Venus.

You just don't want to regulate any one of the ruling class for the benefit of everyone else. You don't want to lift a god damn finger and continue to do the easiest route of self delusional in order to die the most comfortable death imaginable.

Of course they laugh. They know it's a hoax because they invented it themselves to deflect attention from the more important problem: toxic emissions, not CO2. They want you to feel guilty and hate yourself because you breathe!

Doesn't the decades long failure of CO2-based climate models demonstrate that CO2 is not an important factor? Where did the Vikings get all the CO2 from to melt the Greenland glaciers a thousand years ago? Climate always changes; has, does and will continue to do so - all on its own.
