Why Climate Change is everyones problem

[Old Rocks]

Oceans absorb C02 clean it and breath it back out....NASA does not know a lot about this phenomenon but this is an interesting link for you doomsday believers to educate yourselves....

Ocean acidification is already killing some species. It's getting very difficult to farm oysters on both coasts.

NASA knows about oceans absorbing CO2. They have analytical models for this and they can reproduce it in the lab.

Think about how many things emit CO2 compared to only forests/grasslands and the oceans absorbing it.

The writing is on the wall. We are screwed.

I have a friend who is a scientist in NOAA. He told me Friday that Al Gore and company are making millions off their phony "climate change" scam.

Then your friend, like you, is a liar. You guys are like your orange clown, all you know is lies. And anyone that now backs that treasonous bastard after Helsinki is complicit in that treason.

In person, you wouldn't make that statement. Only on a keyboard.

Why not? As often as you lie, someone needs to say it to you.

The average citizen has no idea what is causing the climate to change, how fast it is changing or


how this is impacting them. Most people believe that CO2 emissions from power plants are the

primary contributor causing the atmosphere to act like the glass on a greenhouse. The reality is

that the CO2 emissions from cars are about equal to that of power plants in the U. S. This makes

every driver of an internal combustion engine vehicle a contributor to the problem. Car CO2

emissions do not just dissipate on the ground, they migrate up to the lower atmosphere where

they can persist for up to 1000 years.

The average citizen does not understand the difference between weather and climate either.

Weather happens real-time where climate is primarily a measure of land and ocean temperatures

over a long period of time. Some people believe that if the planet is really warming then it should

be warm everywhere. This is nonsense because the poles will always be cooler and it will always

be colder in winter. The Jet-Stream is moving more erratically now, bringing cold-fronts down to

Florida and sometimes extreme heat in North Dakota. Because the oceans are warmer now,

hurricanes are more frequent, extreme and earlier each year. More moisture is in the

atmosphere, so severe floods, hail storms and deep-snow are more common. Flooding events

are occurring somewhere in the U. S. almost every week. Maryland just had 1000-year floods for

2 years in a row. Texas just had record hailstorm damage, costing over $1B. High temperature

records are broken every year across the U. S. Wildfires are hotter and more common now.

These are not freak events of mother-nature. They are caused by long-term human activity. The

debate whether Climate Change/Global Warming is caused by humans is OVER. It is proven

science verified by experts worldwide.

Climatologists now have the analytical tools to attribute individual weather events to Climate

Change. For instance the severe flooding that was caused by hurricane Harvey in Houston has

been 100% attributed to Climate Change. The economic damage that Climate Change is causing

in the U. S. is rising every year. The estimated cost to the U. S. economy in 2017 is $300B, half

the budget for the U. S. military.

Even those that live in areas unaffected by hurricanes and tornadoes are being impacted. Besides the recurring wildfires here, the cost of food has been

increasing due to crop failures in Florida and lack of water in California. FEMA payouts for

weather disasters continue to increase each year, increasing our tax burden and/or adding to the

National Debt. Ocean warming is causing many wild fish and shellfish stocks to be endangered,

including the wild salmon fishery off the west coast. Many west-coast rivers don’t have runs

anymore. The incidents of insect-borne diseases including West Nile Virus, Zika, Dengue and

Spotted Fever have TRIPLED in the U. S. from 2004 to 2016. Air pollution is responsible for over

10 million deaths world-wide and 200,000 deaths in US each year, more than cigarettes, war or

famine.

Global Warming is now accelerating because we have reached a “tipping-point” caused by effects

that reinforce warming. Shrinkage of the ice-caps reduces the heat reflected back into space.

In addition to oil exploration, thawing permafrost releases Methane gas, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than CO2.

Forests, which along with the oceans are the ONLY absorbers of CO2, are shrinking at an

alarming rate due to wildfires and deforestation for farming. Global Warming is one of the top

threats to mankind. It’s time for everyone to take this seriously at the ballot box and in your

personal choices.

CO2 has a Residence Time of 15 years. That's it. Your claim of 1000 years is ridiculous. If you can't get even the basics correct, how on Earth can we take anything you say seriously.

The environmentalists can hem and whore until the cows come home ( lol....the bitterness level is ).....not going to change the winning dynamic. These people walk around every day in life sporting a gigantic bumpy cucumber in the pooper.....for a long, long time now. L....O....S....I....N....G

These mutherfuckers cant post up a single link showing us anywhere they are winning on the climate change landscape. Let me tell you.... if it was me I'd be bitter as shit too!!

Common Climate Misconceptions: Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide » Yale Climate Connections

Understanding the carbon cycle is a key part of understanding the broader climate change issue. But a number of misconceptions floating around the blogosphere confuse basic concepts to argue that climate change is irrelevant because of the short residence time of carbon molecules in the atmosphere and the large overall carbon stock in the environment.

It turns out that while much of the “pulse” of extra CO2 accumulating in the atmosphere would be absorbed over the next century if emissions miraculously were to end today, about 20 percent of that CO2 would remain for at least tens of thousands of years.

Every generation in history has created their own doomsday scenario to live with...
The sky is always going to fall some believe....no matter how many facts you throw at them they still want to believe the worse....some get paid dearly or gain great power from it and some are truly gullible enough to believe the worse...

Have you even bothered to read the data and look at the graphs on what is happening? See NASA, DOE websites. The data is clear to the most casual observer. The RATE at which the earth and particularly the oceans are warming is faster than anything that has occurred in 55 million years on this planet. This is different that anything that has happened before.

No, these dolts never read a damned thing. They are fucking ignorant rednecks, room temperature IQ's that think that the absorption spectra of the GHGs do not matter.

The village idiot is encouraging the up and coming replacement...

Priceless....

Neither off you two can back up anything... its all cut and paste from some left wing wacko sites devoid of facts and science...

Yes, you are indeed full of horse poo. Here is a more balanced view...

Scrutinizing the carbon cycle and CO2 residence time in the atmosphere

Abstract
Climate scientists presume that the carbon cycle has come out of balance due to the increasing anthropogenic emissions from fossil fuel combustion and land use change. This is made responsible for the rapidly increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations over recent years, and it is estimated that the removal of the additional emissions from the atmosphere will take a few hundred thousand years. Since this goes along with an increasing greenhouse effect and a further global warming, a better understanding of the carbon cycle is of great importance for all future climate change predictions. We have critically scrutinized this cycle and present an alternative concept, for which the uptake of CO2 by natural sinks scales proportional with the CO2 concentration. In addition, we consider temperature dependent natural emission and absorption rates, by which the paleoclimatic CO2 variations and the actual CO2 growth rate can well be explained. The anthropogenic contribution to the actual CO2 concentration is found to be 4.3%, its fraction to the CO2 increase over the Industrial Era is 15% and the average residence time 4 years.

2 years in a row. Texas just had record hailstorm damage, costing over $1B. High temperature

records are broken every year across the U. S. Wildfires are hotter and more common now.

These are not freak events of mother-nature. They are caused by long-term human activity. The

debate whether Climate Change/Global Warming is caused by humans is OVER. It is proven

science verified by experts worldwide.

Climatologists now have the analytical tools to attribute individual weather events to Climate

Change. For instance the severe flooding that was caused by hurricane Harvey in Houston has

been 100% attributed to Climate Change. The economic damage that Climate Change is causing

in the U. S. is rising every year. The estimated cost to the U. S. economy in 2017 is $300B, half

the budget for the U. S. military.

Even those that live in areas unaffected by hurricanes and tornadoes are being impacted. Besides the recurring wildfires here, the cost of food has been

increasing due to crop failures in Florida and lack of water in California. FEMA payouts for

weather disasters continue to increase each year, increasing our tax burden and/or adding to the

National Debt. Ocean warming is causing many wild fish and shellfish stocks to be endangered,

including the wild salmon fishery off the west coast. Many west-coast rivers don’t have runs

anymore. The incidents of insect-borne diseases including West Nile Virus, Zika, Dengue and

Spotted Fever have TRIPLED in the U. S. from 2004 to 2016. Air pollution is responsible for over

10 million deaths world-wide and 200,000 deaths in US each year, more than cigarettes, war or

famine.

Global Warming is now accelerating because we have reached a “tipping-point” caused by effects

that reinforce warming. Shrinkage of the ice-caps reduces the heat reflected back into space.

In addition to oil exploration, thawing permafrost releases Methane gas, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than CO2.

Forests, which along with the oceans are the ONLY absorbers of CO2, are shrinking at an

alarming rate due to wildfires and deforestation for farming. Global Warming is one of the top

threats to mankind. It’s time for everyone to take this seriously at the ballot box and in your

personal choices.

Well written and all correct, Patriot. However, these know nothing denialists will not accept any of it, no matter what the evidence and observations say. They are members of the Trump cult, and believe that any lie you tell long enough becomes the truth.

I notice that YOU, Crick and Patriot52, have ignored POST 14

I actually used links where as Patriot52 just posted a rant with ZERO links.

Your gullibility is very apparent here.

Snicker....

 

[Sunsettommy]

Yawn......Zzzzz…

So many errors spotted but you wouldn't know since you didn't make a factual case for any of it.

Please bring rational thinking to the forum next time.

You would have to look pretty hard to find someone more misinformed than the OP..

Oh my, SSoDDumb, of the smart photons is calling someone else misinformed? LOL

Patriot52 didn't provide ANY evidence that his rant is credible, it is a RANT you moron!

The average citizen has no idea what is causing the climate to change, how fast it is changing or


how this is impacting them. Most people believe that CO2 emissions from power plants are the

primary contributor causing the atmosphere to act like the glass on a greenhouse. The reality is

that the CO2 emissions from cars are about equal to that of power plants in the U. S. This makes

every driver of an internal combustion engine vehicle a contributor to the problem. Car CO2

emissions do not just dissipate on the ground, they migrate up to the lower atmosphere where

they can persist for up to 1000 years.

The average citizen does not understand the difference between weather and climate either.

Weather happens real-time where climate is primarily a measure of land and ocean temperatures

over a long period of time. Some people believe that if the planet is really warming then it should

be warm everywhere. This is nonsense because the poles will always be cooler and it will always

be colder in winter. The Jet-Stream is moving more erratically now, bringing cold-fronts down to

Florida and sometimes extreme heat in North Dakota. Because the oceans are warmer now,

hurricanes are more frequent, extreme and earlier each year. More moisture is in the

atmosphere, so severe floods, hail storms and deep-snow are more common. Flooding events

are occurring somewhere in the U. S. almost every week. Maryland just had 1000-year floods for

2 years in a row. Texas just had record hailstorm damage, costing over $1B. High temperature

That was a very bad copy and paste and the content was such propaganda, how come no mention of the C02 coming from the southern hemisphere?

NEWS FLASH for you P52, the climate has ALWAYS been changing and always will. Species come and species go. Man's role now is just one more latest factor in the natural equation. Earth will adapt as will mankind. Deal with it.

They are going to have to because all this climate angst is shared by ummmm....few.

There is nothing that the insects or humans can do about climate change on the Earth.

If you believe half of the bullshit that was in the OP then you are even more stupid and gullible than I thought you were rocks, and I had the bar mere picometer above the ground for you already.
