My understanding is that water vapor is the most important and voluminous GHG, 1 trillion tons of which are evaporated into the atmosphere daily, although it only remains for 10-14 days before returning to the earth's surface. It then enters into a positive feedback loop with other GHGs that are much long lasting and both increase global heating. MIT and Yale have good articles on this. Amazing video! Thank you!
Starting with today, work backwards with that positive feedback loop to about 12k years ago when the ice sheets were as far south as most of the northern U.S. and sea levels were 100,000mm lower. The math doesn’t seem to work.
Thank You for your teachings. Have always liked clouds for fishing reasons. Long ago I used them to predict the weather of tomorrow to know what the sea water would bring. Today I use them to know when we can do outdoor activities. Used to live at the old King George Hospital, I think of these memories at times and would like to come back to London for a visit.
I have a feeling someone is selling low level cloud seeding technology and we just watched a 7 minute commercial. (Not that I’m against a little geo engineering and other proactive ideas)
Thank you, I enjoy clouds to on occasion to predict what is to come tomorrow. Used to do a lot of fishing off my boat & clouds would tell me what I might expect the water on the gulf would be. Today I still use them in a way for the new place I live. The clouds have changed, they reflect the changes at hand. I also lived on the east end for a little over a year ago at the old king George Hospital.
After more online research, I now realize that clouds are the result of water vapor cooling (n.b., giving up heat energy into the higher atmosphere and outer space) and condensing, then these clouds reflect solar radiation ( the albedo effect) back into space, but heat-up (see the IR map in the video) and trap waste heat, along with the blanket of GHGs, on the surface. CO2 has a 20 times greater capacity to trap and hold heat, so is much less able to transfer surface waste heat into outer space, but water vapor is 10-14 times heavier in the atmosphere, so CO2/GHGs are twice as heat retaining for the surface, where temps are rising 0.2 degC annually, or 1 degC every 5 yrs. Our dear Mother Earth's AC is working overtime but still can't prevent the thermal climate collapse we're in the midst of.
@@sp4nrs The only guaranteed way that technology would have a chance to save us is if the end product of that technological application generates insanely more profits than what are currently generated by combusting hydrocarbons. Only then will governments, institutions and private entrepreneurs jump on board soon enough to get it up to scale and maybe cushion some of the impact of the impending crash, and even then there would be massive resistance to actually implementing it. The prospect of saving civilization from what is likely to be total collapse simply has yet to be a sufficient motivator to take any meaningful action, and in fact the collapse is being pushed by PR campaigns to deliberately try to promote a sense of hopelessness so nothing significant will occur to disrupt their revenue streams; we're already too far gone so no sense changing your lifestyle is what they want us to believe. It's absurd.
It already is, and always does. Data proves that humanity has never been safer, healthier or more prosperous than at any time in history. Not only has this trend remained uninterrupted but during 200 years of warming this trend has accelerated. The history of humanity, only going as far back as the 1800's is a story of suffering and impoverishment.
That cycling carbon is the tip of the iceberg while he goes to the supermarket brought by planes,ships,trucks etc and suvs will be first cara banned worldwide so "enjoy" destroying the earth until you can
@@anthonymorris5084 there is enough evidence and research papers out there to support it. Heck, even oil companies like Exxon knew this way before in the 80s. They hid the research from the world and still are running campaigns actively trying to discredit climate change. The information is literally everywhere.
@@anthonymorris5084 No evidence that more energy will change a system? NEAT! Guess heatwaves are simply random... and increasing in scope randomly, and more common randomly. All so cool, and I will read your paper.
Appealing to authority are we? That's Logic 101, Day 1, Lesson 1 called " What not to do when engaging in an argument ". It's the same as handing your opponent your king as your first chess move.
"cloud" sounds simple and boring. Atmospheric water currents showcases the complexity and intricacy of this system more to me. ITs insane how much water is in the atmosphere above us, a chance to find joy by just looking up more often
@@WeighedWilson true! the complexity of the dynamics tops it all. non-laminar flow of several phases at its best.

The music only gets in the way of easy listening. What is so wrong with the occasional silent pause?

@@oddsman01 Nice story.
Great summary of a complex subject - Thanks
This was absolutely brilliant. Thank you!
Fascinating!

You could get a lighting bolt through your psychopathic killing pole so yes look at the clouds..
So interesting, thank you. Really important work you do. ❤
Such great visualisations !! awesome !!

i did it!
You should be.

How about making clouds over melting glaciers and ice sheets? Would be interested in that :)
perhaps the audio has a bit much bass sound, otherwise this is one of the best presentations I have seen, and that is a lot.
Maybe a good review video got someone familiar with the territory. Too many counter intuitive concepts in here, i leave less informed.
Save Our Planet Now
GREAT
Technology will not save us.
It absolutely could

@@anthonymorris5084 That is meaningless.
@@deepashtray5605 Not to the billions of people who are alive today. It's an incredibly significant fact.
Thanks for reducing your carbon footprint so we can continue driving our SUVs here in the USA. Great job mate!
thanks for being cunts so that all of us(including US) can suffer more floods, wildfires, heatwaves, etc

@@scottekoontz You're correct. There is no evidence and sarcasm is infantile.
Why do these so called experts talk down to the public as if they are talking to children
Are you a cloud expert then? Where did you study for your degree then? Which university did you study at?
They are the self-proclaimed "experts" and demand we appeal to their bs authority.
Appealing to authority are we? That's Logic 101, Day 1, Lesson 1 called " What not to do when engaging in an argument ". It's the same as handing your opponent your king as your first chess move.
U have an inferiority complex?

My dehumidifier has been running all day removing INSANE amounts of water.
It's even more insane how much heat capacity that water has.
