How much did the industrial revolution contribute to global warming?
>>8820472
It's actually the opposite. The industrial revolution happened because the world was getting warmer and it was fucking up people's crop yields. Correlation != causation.

???
How did victorian factories cool the world? Also isn't warmer climate good for crops since libertarians say so?
Doesn't matter
China and india need to be dealt with now. Third world genocide is the only solution to save the environment.
Prove me wrong

It is generally agreed upon that variations in the solar output of the Sun and Earth's distance from the Sun are the main contributing factors to ICE AGES, or more technically glacial periods during which the earth cools, causing increased ice expansion from the poles and alternatively during which the earth warms, causing a receding of ice. We observe that we have been in such an interglacial period (the Holocene Epoch) as of about 117,000 years ago. As such, I would say the industrial revolution likely did not contribute significantly to the current warming rate of the Earth.

So, is murica also third world?

That argument makes no sense at all. We're towards the end of an interglacial period that's lasted thousands of years. Suddenly the temperature is rising at an unprecedented rate. The Milankovich cycle would have the next change be cooling, not warming. How does it explain current warming?

Says who? The Vostok ice core samples demonstrated an interglacial period some 400 kyr ago that lasted roughly 28,000 years.

To look at people like you makes me wish for eugenics.

I have stopped thinking people saying stupid shit are trolling because acting like retard can only make people think you're a retard.

Where did I write that, oh wait, I didn't, I wrote "As such, I would say the industrial revolution likely did not contribute significantly to the current warming rate of the Earth." which is something totally different that when you intentionally misrepresented my argument to be.

A few degrees. Seems not much but it's a fucking disaster.

Hermann Harde, Scrutinizing the carbon cycle and CO2 residence time in the atmosphere
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921818116304787
• An alternative carbon cycle is presented in agreement with the carbon 14 decay.
• The CO2 uptake rate scales proportional to the CO2 concentration.
• Temperature dependent natural emission and absorption rates are considered.
• The average residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere is found to be 4 years.
• Paleoclimatic CO2 variations and the actual CO2 growth rate are well-reproduced.
• The anthropogenic fraction of CO2 in the atmosphere is only 4.3%.
• Human emissions only contribute 15% to the CO2 increase over the Industrial Era.
