what annoys me about trying to explain climate change to people is always the "its only 1 or 2 degrees"
it is only 1 or 2 degrees tho
The dullards who say "its only 1 or 2 degrees" don't knew the difference between temperature and heat.
Convert it to Fahrenheit, then they'll get the picture
@@GnosticLuciferbut the issue is that the global average doesnt move much. temps rise more closer to the poles and less on the equator which drags the average down. additionally, heatwaves become hotter and more common, but because they still account for relatively small amounts of time, they dont affect the average much. and ontop of that, outside of heatwaves temps can spike way higher. like i live quite up north, and 15 years ago summers reached a maximum of 30 °C on 1 - 3 days in the summer, now 30 °C is the basic summer weather, and on a couple of days the temperature reaches 40 °C. but those 2 days dont affect the yearly global average. climate is an extremely complex thing, like i live at the same altitude as ~1600km (1000 miles) up north from the U.S - canada border, and yet in the middle of winter, all of our snow has melted and its above 0 °C.
@@nikoheino3927 60 miles on a side isn't sufficient to describe the processes which happen on a smaller scale, like thunderheads so we make a lot of assumption about each of those boxes and then there's the fact that the boxes are like paper when it really should be cubes, so you gotta make assumptions about how things are tied vertically as well, so we have like 50 different models and we average them together and hope for the best. I'm not saying do away with the models, I'm just saying they're extremely fallible. They're the Malthusian theory of 21th century and nowadays they're not even trying hide this fact. The thing is tho, it is wrong.
Either way I hate how climate change solutions translate to "better" politicians/policies, instead of letting the experts handle it. Germany is the perfect example
"cLiMAtE cHAnGe isNt REal" THE UK ISNT MEANT TO BE 30 DEGREES CELSIUS LET ALONE THE 40 DEGREES IT WAS LAST YEAR
yeah it's usually like 10-20 celsius there
For fellow Americans: 86 degrees F will be 104 degrees F. Still think it’s fine?
@@HeronCoyote1234an ice age is ending tho. You believe we should stop earths process to stop other animals from going extinct? Lmao
Climate change is not real. Its a scam.
There is no climate change.
Venus's atmosphere is thick, it captures heat.
It has ultimate greenhouse effect, 450°C.
Melts most of the things.
And if we don’t get the big corporations to stop then earth will end up just like that.
@@stargazer-eliteitll be fine we survived the PERMIAN EXTINTION well be fine
It's only closer to the 🌞. That has nothing to do with it.
@@Most_Trustworthy_Weasel Venus is hotter than Mercury despite it being farther away. Venus’ temperature is due to the thick atmosphere and the volcanic activity.
@@Most_Trustworthy_Weaselatmosphere on venus has everything to do with it, why is mercury colder than venus even though mercury is way closer to the sun

LOUDER FOR THE ONES IN THE BACK
My favorite is whenever there is an unusual snowstorm, and people say it disproves global warming. Snowstorms like that used to be common - now they are unusual. Unusual weather is one result - it's not all warmer weather.
(I remember when I threw away my cross-country skis.)
heat, climate change. snow storm, climate change.
no matter what you do it's always climate change.
and you can do whatever, you can never fix it and it's your fault thay everybody will die in about 5 years. no wonder people are checking out and sceptical. im jusy saying.
I mean it disproves warming in that area but proves more climate change
Green woke dogma explained in a minute. But if you want to know serious stuff it needs a bit more reading to understand the fraud.
You can google my analysis "Weak Point Analysis of the Hypothesis of climate change ppt pdf holger narrog"
Fact climate change and global warming is one hundred percent natural and zero percent man made
Climate change-- a phrase the will be true to the end of time with or without humans. Even if man is changing the weather, it’s just a terrible argument to say man is creating these weather patterns. For the climate can you please explain to me what percentage of the change in weather is made by man ? Ans what percentage is made by nature?
2°-4° will certainly be catastrophic to pretty much every species including us. Deadly positive feedback loop. Too hot summer, too cold winters, more abnormalities in the weather, more storms and what not.
Very complete explanation
I wonder what data logging was like in 1900. I'm sure it was absolutely the same every where. I wonder what his thoughts are on what Al Gore has said.
Yakutia that has ≈100°C climate shift each year (max ≈ 30°C, min = -71°C): oke
Read chapter 3 of IPCC report it states warmer temperatures equals less tropical storms as there is a lower temperature gradient between the poles and the equator.
It wad Al Gores lies that said wr get more storms.
There is no deadly positive feedback loop. Conditions ahve been way more extreme already at points in the planets history. It's not going to kill us off, it's not going to kill the oceans and so on, it'll be rougher in some places, less so in others. Overall most likely a net negative but humanity is still going to be better of in 2100 than it is now
What people don’t realize is that global warming will affect our crops, farming is becoming harder and harder. What do you think will happen when there is a food shortage with rising number of humans? Starvation and war. Probably going to be a mass human die off within the next hundred years.
More like 20yrs
Agreed. It’s just easier for people to agree when I say 100 years, but yeah it’s probably 10 - 20.
@@twilight9359 yes, even scientists say by 2100 things will be real bad. When people hear 2100 they think , not in my life time . They cant imagine what it will be like for the grandchildren. I have a 11 month old grandson and it messes my head up real bad. But the only thing one can do is prepare for that day might happen versus not being prepared for that really bad day that will happen .
@@globalwarming382 Exactly, yet we are making abortion illegal. Sorry I don’t want to bring a child into this world of chaos. It is just so unfortunate that people still don’t believe in global warming. That is the one problem that could’ve prevented this from accelerating so quickly. Baffles me how right now, we are focused more on genders and races and the next big show on Netflix. While corporate greed takes and takes and takes and people consume and buy and buy. Now when the fires begin this year, and the crops start dying, and the water turns acidic. Only then will people think, hmm, maybe global warming is real, maybe having an infrastructure dependent on cars and oil is a bad idea. It is far too late. I’m actually happy, I think humans are a creature of madness, after we’re long gone the world will bounce back again. It will be peaceful I hope.
if there's more food, what then? is the neighbor's food better?
I'm not saying I could do better, but something I would've included is to mention methane. Methane is more severe because not only is it more potent in trapping heat, but it also can NOT be filtered by plants
Most of the co2 created by humans isn't able to be absorbed by plants anyway, as it is pumped up and away from the plants, which are on the ground. Only 25-30% of human caused co2 is absorbed by plants.
Koalas emit a large amount of methane, despite being small mammals. This is because of high amounts of cellulose and methanol in the eucalyptus leaves that they eat, and also due to them having a very large digestive tract to body ratio. They probably produce the highest amount of methane compared to every other hindgut fermenter.
That's right, and lighting strikes will ignite the atmosphere
I'd further explain that greenhouse gasses from natural sources (volcanos, etc.) were once absorbed by natural sources (algae, grass & trees) in a fairly balanced way, until we screwed it up by chopping down entire forests to make spaces for our agriculture. So, not only are we burning insane quantities of fossil fuels, thus producing humungeous quantities of greenhouse gasses (especially Carbon Dioxide), we're also decimating one of the key natural mechanisms for absorbing & sequestering Carbon.
#StopDeforestation
#FightClimateChange
This is a great addition!
I have a question? Trees process carbon dioxide into oxygen in the same way that agriculture (ie. plants and trees) process carbon dioxide into oxygen. So what's the difference whether it's forests or agricultural plants doing the same process? And since plants and trees thrive and survive off of the process, the more fossil fuels that are consumed, the more that the plants and trees will survive. Humans produce carbon dioxide as a by-product of breathing as does every living creature on this planet. So if we should discontinue the use of fossil fuels because they produce carbon dioxide, then it makes sense that we should kill all living creatures on the planet and the problem will be solved.
@@pdcrews100 In a single word: Volume. Wood from trees has (on average) far greater storage volume (per cubic meter) than the stalks & roots of plants.
Prior to human industry, CO₂ was released only by volcanism (& perhaps a minute amount due to forest fires). This was in a dynamic equilibrium with plants around the globe absorbing it to manufacture food & releasing O₂ as a waste product (which in turn was absorbed by animals, or into sedimentary rocks).
While the majority of Oxygen production is done by huge populations of Blue Green Algae in the oceans (which are in serious danger if the planet gets much hotter), the vast majority of Carbon storage is done by trees (thanks to two Carbon-based molecules Cellulose & Lignin - the predominant molecular building blocks of wood). Unfortunately, human industries such as Transportation, Power Generation & Cement Manufacturing (etc.) are emitting about
*40 **_BILLION_** Metric Tons* of *CO₂ **_ANNUALLY._*
(That's roughly 60 times that of all the volcanos on Earth combined, btw.)
The point I was trying to make was that urgently reducing the volume of Fossil Fuels being burned each year to near zero is only half the equation. We absolutely need to stop chopping down forests & start planting many, many more trees - ideally in the right balance of species to reform local ecosystems & not monoculture (like plantations).
No, we don't need to kill every animal on Earth to achieve our goals. (Which is an example of both the *_Slippery Slope_* & *_Appeal to Emotion_* fallacies, btw.)
@ninthRing CO2 was only released by volcanism and forest fires prior to human industry??? What kind of mumbo-jumbo is this? No animals existed before humans industrialized??? That's plainly false. Now we need to urgently reduce fossil fuel usage to near zero to survive? Survive what? The world is coming to an end because you think that a possible slight rise in the average global temperature is going to put us all in dog house? No one can definitely determine what the changes in the average global temperatures are going to be in ten years, twenty years, fifty years and so on. Anyone that claims that they can is full of BS. What we need to do is to stop opening our mouths and closing our eyes every time some so-called scientist unzips his pants and tells us to swallow. Our human arrogance to believe that we know better than a naturally occurring ecosystem that has been around since the beginning of time and has survived everything that the universe has thrown at is in trouble. The world evolves naturally to compensate for imbalances. We don't know what we are talking about. 50 years ago everyone was crying about another ice age coming because of humans. Now we are crying about the earth getting too hot. This is wrong and that needs to be changed. We aren't that smart.
We have more trees now than there ever was in natural history. So your comment is false.
Serious question: When the layer around the earth gets thicker and so traps more heat. Would it not block more heat from entering in the first place, too?
In short, no. Here's some more detail: Energy enters the Earth system as light in the visible range of the spectrum. Earth's atmosphere is essentially transparent to visible light. Some of this visible light energy is absorbed by the Earth, warming it up. That heat is then *released* by the Earth *back* into the atmosphere as infrared light. Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared light and energy, and heat up. So, visible light entering the atmosphere doesn't get sucked up by greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases absorb infrared energy from the sun-heated Earth. So even if the amount of sunlight entering stays the same, more GHGs = more heat absorbed by the atmosphere.
@@besmart Thank you very much for taking the time. That was very comprehensible.
@@YouGloomy Because Earth's core isn't sufficient to keep the Earth habitable. Yes, the Earth's core is hot, but the core alone will not keep us alive. Heat from the sun gets trapped by green house gasses keep us alive-- but now we're trapping too much heat.
@@YouGloomy im aizen so i can explain It to you... Basically....
The ozone layer expands every time there Is more CO2, and the ozone layer Is Just a fragment of the whole earth so the heat has Better chance entering, and the earth's core isnt merely affected

@@VeniVidiIvihave you even noticed what’s happening this summer? It is happening in real time. Multiple countries are reaching record heats and wild fires are becoming more common and rampant. How can you continue to deny it when we could solve the problem with everyone’s support
@@PoxFilms "Multiple countries are reaching record highs" Temperatures change. We have hot summers, we have cooler summers. Why do you think they changed it from Global Cooling to Global Warming to Climate Change?
As for blaming wildfires of "climate change" just shows your ignorance. Trees do not all of a sudden burst into fire when it is hot. Something causes it. Now, if you are going to mention droughts, then ya missed that we had one of the wettest seasons in a while.
Also, two more points:
1) Wildfires are actually natural ways to clear out dead plants. Why are you trying to stop nature? Of course, that's if it is actually caused my nature and not people burning the place down (which is the cause of most wildfires (so we should be more focus on stopping idiots)).
2) The heavy restrictions on logging has cause more burnable plants to stay in the forest and thus have more kindling for the fire. What to fix that, let the loggers go through the forest again (keep some of the rules, though, just not all of them).
@@Ironica82keep talking man tell me more about how doubling the co2 in the atmosphere is just natural.
@@Ironica82 except for the past 10 years, at least where i live, every year became one of the hottest ever, we have gone from foggy weather and snowfalls in autumn to summerlike weather and during winters there's barely any snowfall. yes every part of the world is affected differently. however it is real and people can feel it

That 4.5 Nuclear bomb comparison sent chill down my spine. We are evil
No. The Beer-Lambert Law means that the increase in the width of the CO2 absorption lines (the only mechanism whereby ANY warming can occur) is so small that the effect of the additional CO2 added by humans accounts for approx 0.1 degree C of warming. It's not even measurable amongst the ongoing natural variations consequent to the sudden end of the last ice age. So, your friend was right. You couldn't explain it, and it wouldn't matter how long the video was.
To be fair, it would take a lot longer to explain why natural climate change all the sudden stopped, according to them. The planet has been warming naturally for about 25,000 years, and thanks to tree ring records we are pretty certain it isn't even the warmest period of the last 1000 years, yet apparently as soon as the industrial revolution happened all of nature stopped and everything is on us now and it should remain static forever? Glaciers that didn't exist for billions of years are melting after only existing for a few thousand years? Oh no... Anyway, it is far more likely that we are simply in a warmer phase of our orbit and the earth is slowly thawing before moving into a cooler phase and freezing again. Yes, we have released CO2, yes it certainly has caused some warming, but it does not explain all of the warming (or even most) and it seems to be far more positive than negative. And they absolutely never seem to be able to explain how more government will fix it.
true true
That explains why, since humanity has started using fossil fuels, the average temperature and carbon content of the atmosphere has risen to a level unseen in the last million years, and not very often in the times before.
Oh, but I guess this is the first time in Earth's history that the climate is changing at this pace because of a coincidence, huh?
@@cameronmcallister7606 In my experience both sides of this argument are using separate data sets to justify their arguments. One side uses the original unadjusted sets, the other side uses the adjusted sets. Both sides argue about the validity of the data sets.
The only way out of this impasse is for those making arguments to understand the actual mechanism. I find that almost no-one does understand it.
Even though the Beer-Lambert Law applies to the interaction between infrared and atmospheric CO2 hardly anyone who has an opinion (from either side) mentions it, and almost no-one (so it appears) understands it.
In brief, the CO2 absorption bands are made more efficient by the increased pressure of the CO2 added by humans. Yes, there is a small increase due to the increased pressure, but the increase tops out at around one tenth of one degree.
Whether the recent warming is real or not (and there is much argument about that, of course), unless the Beer-Lambert Law is somehow shown to disapply, there is no way that the additional CO2 added by humans can account for any measurable warming, since 0.1 degree c is well with the normal natural variations which have nothing to do with human activity.
Most notably, the 'adjustments' perfectly correlate with the "anthroposophic effect" on increase in temperature, which stands to reason since the effect is only in calculations and models, not in measurements.
Hey at least most of us won’t be alive to see it, that’s the future Generations problem 💀
Bud, just get ready for 2040. We’re fucked
Climate refugees are already a thing and will only increase exponentially. Zoonotic diseases like covid are getting more common, health problems due to extreme heat are a lot more common in many places, respiratory ilnesess due to air pollution is getting worse, allergies. There are so many consequences that are here, now, and have been for a while, and are getting worse

I think by now most have accepted that climate change is real, at least where I am. But the suggestions we hear about how to solve it are often so idiotic. For example forcing the adoption of electric cars is much less effective and far more disruptive than reducing subsidies for dairy or improving the rail/public transportation network. Where I am, taking the car to work means 8 mins travel, while public transport means 30 mins or more (if the services go on strike). Also so much milk is produced where I am that the country stores the milk and can't use up the stored quantities and ends up processing it into milk powder to sell at low prices to African nations and drive out the local dairy producers.
It's really messed up!
I love vinegar
Maybe the solutions suck because it doesn't exist?
An easily checkable fact is that see oh too has been much higher for virtually all of earths history than now. In fact we have a famine of see oh too, so what happened, did nature get it wrong, or have the scientists got it wrong?
He forgot to mention the melting of the icecaps and glaciers will affect the thermohaline circulation which literally affects the whole world.
There are so many who believe it's a hoax these days. 😐
Not “these days” we’ve believed it was a hoax for the last 100 yrs.
Simple reason: they do not feel the impact enough for them to believe it. It's idiotic actually. If for example they live in the typhoon belt, maybe their opinion differs.
@@el1300 No i am completely against reducing co2 etc. because other not because it don't believe in it but because other countries are not doing it either and reducing and switching to more expensive renewable energy sources, shittier more expensive cars etc. is not something I am willing to do.
Only so all the emerging economies on the planet in africa south asia etc can keep increasing their co2 massively year by year, whats the point.

I'm sorry, your logic is superficial as it could be and no I don't accept it. You just proved my previous point, you don't experience the effects enough (or don't give a damn about it) that you prioritize comfort over your fellow human beings.
It's like encountering a homeless person and saying this in front of them "sorry, the person ahead of me didn't't give a damn so why should I"

@@Panzerkampfagen885Green energy is literally the opposite of bad lol
What is interesting is the assumption that all of the rise in temperature is due to CO2 and not the decline in cloud cover, this causes more solar irradiance to reach the earth's surface increasing temperatures.
The majority of the extra warming is in the top 2km of the ocean, this increases the amount of evaporation and out gassing of CO2 from the ocean increasing the amount found in the atmosphere.
The increasing natural emissions and those from human activity have a residence time in the atmosphere of roughly 5 years not the hundreds of years stated by the IPCC because the atmospheric CO2 levels would be more then a 100ppm higher then current levels.
so when are the doomsday goal posts scheduled to move again?

If the ocean level is rising, why is Plymouth Rock still exactly at the same water level? Not to mention warmer atmosphere means less humans living in freezing temperatures.

Fact: Near the surface, CO2 does not re-emit. Collisions with other molecules are too frequent. By about 30 to 35 km in altitude, about 2 out of every 100,000 CO2 molecules will have a chance to re-emit. (See: radiative lifetime) Overall, only about 5% of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is involved in the radiative process. In the upper atmosphere, simple decay starts to take over as the primary mechanism for emission and this emission results in the coldest region of the atmosphere called the mesosphere. None of this radiation reaches back to the surface.
The flames make it look like the earth is falling through Jupiter's atmosphere.
No mention of the cutting down of massive areas of rain forest that turn the CO2 into carbon.
Not all nature will suffer. We will, of course, but plants really won't. They'd appreciate the extra temperature but specially the CO2
Edit: In retrospect this comment was very reductive. Mistakes were made
Wrong. Plants cant handle the heat.
yeah but if there's more plants, what do they do
@@Emppu_T. what do you mean by that?
Unifrtunately it isn't that simple. Even the hardiest of plants require specific conditions to grow, and climate destabilization thanks to Anthropogenic climate change is throwing that ancient system out of whack. Where plants had millions of years to adapt to climate changes before Human intervention, they only have decades now.
This means that while plants will likely survive, and, eventually, restore the planet to some extent, it would take a long time as they have to essentially re-forest the areas we're going to wipe out.
Kid named acid rains
Humans should use eco friendly resources to make electricity, to reduce the carbon pollution.
When people argue against climate action, what they are really saying is, "My 401K is invested in oil and coal and I don't want my retirement money to drop."
bro your better get that money back before it starts to drop
Except taxing carbon isn't POSITIVE action, it's theft like all taxes. Not only is it theft it's not stopping or slowing down "global boiling" or whatever ridiculous fear mongering name you want to call bad weather.
I don't see the prairies shifting to coastal temperate...The deserts shifting to continental or the coasts rainforests sprouting cacti.
Great explanation
And now people are saying greenhouse gases are essential to the earth like saying to a person having bad fever that body heat is essential to life.
The comparison is invalid.
Let oil companies who knowingly polluted pay
how about China and India pay for it seeing as they are environmental disasters themselves
the acidity of the ocean has also increased a lot as it absorbs CO2, making it harder to grow for corals, crabs, clams etc to grow
Don’t the ice core drillings show that there’s been times in earths history where the temperature was warmer than it is today?
Yes but those also coincide with times where humans did not exist, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If it was warmer in the past, the ice wouldn't have formed.
Earth's temprature has been pretty higher and lower than today historically speaking so rest assured we handle our impact without destroying humanity, that is scientists and innovators, not politicians and policymakers.
@@YoungGandalf2325 lol. thats pretty inaccurate. you would need to warm 50 degrees or more to melt all the ice. plus warming doesnt happen uniformly. some places actually get colder.
this is true however this was in times where the environment was much different. some life will survive even extreme warming but the problem is that most species will die out since the speed of warming is unprecedented in history. for us 100 years is a long time but when it comes to geology its nothing. a lot of species cannot adapt that fast and we are already living in another great extinction event.
humans will most likely survive this however it will have huge economic impact.
that said all solutions currently available have even bigger negative economic impact. so we are pretty much stuck with it.
it wont be as bad as the doom sayers say but it will definitely effect most peoples lives pretty negatively.
So, how Japanese Bees kill wasps is by having dozens of bees climb onto the wasp turning into a ball, and they start vibrating as fast as they can. The wasp will overheat and die. But bees die at 1-2degrees over a wasp. So they must be careful.
Think of how differently you feel when your temperature is at 101 instead of 99.
Lastly, how water turns to ice at 0, but not 2.
The first two examples are MUCH different than our climate, but the point was to explain a couple of degrees can matter.
Lastly, the earth will be perfectly fine. But not life. Humans have the potential to be fine, because we have technology which enhances our ability to adapt. And if you look at the earths previous climate changes, not much survives.
Great job!
One more important point. The difference between 2 and 4 degrees is a very big deal.
2 degrees is horrifying for certain people living in certain areas and only very bad for everyone else.
4 degrees threatens human civilization across the planet.
It's weird how many people deny the existence and consequences of climate change (which is scientifically provable) but strongly believe in their God (which can't be proved).
I believe in both
Lots of people think the california rain will make so much humidity it will just rain multiple times next year not understanding extreme water vapor = lots more heat.
If it's co2 and water vapour causing this problem why are we focused on co2 and not both. Because plants need co2 don't they? So how low can the co2 level go before plants and trees and the animals that eat vegetation start to suffer?
Now
In relation to temperature change;
During the Little Ice which ended about 1850, the average global temperature dropped about 1 degree C and during that time about 75 million people died.
From 1850 until today, the average global temperature has risen about 1 degree and world population has risen to 8 billion with more than ever being grown.
GET SOME PERSPECTIVE !!
Mike Mann could not produce the proof to Tim Ball in court either.
A single control knob for the climate, oh how clever.
I have a Question ❓ If the temperature increases the water vapour will also increase. Then rain will also increase..
Does it mean that the sea level will be same? because of increased heat the water vapourisation will also increase.
No

Two celestial poles.
Gravity would crush any flat plane into a ball there you go.
@@kakahass8845 flat earthers don't believe in Gravity they believe the Earth is accelerating upwards at 9.81 m/s^2 but then again the gravity on earth is not the exact same everywhere (like it's less at the quarter than the poles) I don't know how they would explain that
If they did believe in Gravity then there would be even bigger problems than "Gravity would crush any flat plane into a ball" Like we would get attracted to the center of the flat Earth so you were living anywhere apart from on top of the center of the flat Earth the Gravitational force on you would not point down, it would point diagonally
but if they don't believe in Gravity there are still huge problems like why the moon orbits the Earth or the Earth orbits the sun

Adapt
There are species that are far more adaptable and less dependent to technology we are, that will likely survive, maybe even we will be able to survive to a climate disaster, certainly not our civilization as a whole
@@DarthVaderfrwe are the most adaptable mammals ever. Humans won’t directly go extinct from climate change, animals will and that affects us.
I've seen the videos. I know almost all the ice melts at the north pole in the Summer. So? If we have maxed out the meltage because there's no more ice... then that means the oceans can't rise much farther. The only consequence I see is that we have more warm weather and longer food growing seasons for a growing world population. Seems like there's only pluses and the negatives are miniscule. If we went back into an ice age and all our ports are now miles from the ocean, I see that as a worse impact for humans.

Great explanation!!
Correlation isn't causation. The sun is what heats the earth and space is what cools it.
And when you thicken the layer of the atmosphere between earth that is heated by the sun, and the space that would cool it, the cooling becomes less efficient so the earth starts to warm up until it is hot enough to radiate the same amount of energy again that comes in.
@@Stratosarge Yes the greenhouse effect. Historically CO2 levels have been much higher than currently, what about that?
@@VanillaAttila those historical levels are actually the big clue how we know that we are right about how things are happening now.
To comprehensively answer the question I'd have to write a long essay, but the gist of it is that there are multiple things affecting earth's climate, with the CO2 being one of the three big ones. A small change in one of the three main drivers has a small effect, a large change in one of the three has a large effect. And the result at a time is a combination of all three: Sun's insolation, Earth's albedo and greenhouse gasses, mainly CO2.
Key to solving the puzzle and your question is simple: The Sun gets hotter as it ages. It has less and less hydrogen and helium to use in the fusion, and it'll start using heavier elements and giving off more energy as a result. So during those times after Permian when the CO2 levels were many times higher than today, the Sun was also way cooler, so the CO2 could have less impact because there was less energy coming in to have an impact on. If the CO2 levels today got as high as they did back then, the earth would be way hotter than it was back then.
@@Stratosarge interesting but I thought the sun was heading into a maunder minimum? How do we know definitively the sun is getting hotter? Plants can absorb more CO2 when temp is higher. By the way couldn't we build a giant elevator to space and install a massive heat pump to cool the planet if things get too hot?
@@VanillaAttila maunder minimum is peanuts compared to the difference in suns output from millions of years back.
As for the heatpump idea, we could be more efficient and just block some of the sunlight instead.
We can beat 4 degrees C above preindustrial temperatures. Rookie numbers
Why measure climate change only from the industrial revolution? Answer: because if measured over many thousands of years what we have now would be seen as completely normal.
Yeah, completely normal - just in a very small amount of time compared to the thousands of years before, and only in one direction (global mean temperature going up).
Actually, we have.
You can use permafrost to measure thousands of years of history, we have direct evidence of things such as the ice age, carbon levels, so and so forth.
We have used the evidence gathered to determine;
1. This is abnormal behavior for the earth to heat like this
2. The earth should be cooling, it isn't.
3. The rise in temperature is abnormally high
4. Carbon has been proven to increase temperature, such as when the dinosaurs died, a lot of carbon was put in the atmosphere, leading to global temperatures rising significantly.
5. We make a lot of carbon.
Well the earth was uninhabitable by current life millions of years ago, so the data is irrelevant to us.
@@god8348 You stretched my "many thousands of years" to millions of years. No matter, at least you acknowledged that the earth changed without human influence.

@@jacoblas1371 you're still not educating yourself
The issue is explaining that the sea is literally soaking up the heat and sooner or layer, when it becomes a noticeable problem, we’re literally doomed by that inertia of heat (the ocean’s extra heat)
Sure you can, if you oversimplify and ignore discussing the historical changes in our climate and the fact that, while we're affecting it, we're only speeding it up. We still need to come to terms that it's changing and will continue to change. While reducing our impact is important, putting ALL our efforts into this instead of how to adapt to the inevitable and even potential for the upcoming cooling period (generally accepted in scientific community and historical trends)
We're changing it over the last 100 years. Natural climate cycles are on the order of 100k years. No where remotely the same thing.
@@ChrisHinton1967 100k years? Why don't you look up the last LIA starting in the 14th century and just one example. They're just now finding biological remnants thawing from glaciers from that Era. This is my problem with the climate change discussion. Even though I can agree with human impact on climate, people like you are so narrow minded, knee-jerk emotional reactionists who take a militant approach with opinions, yet fail to put any personal effort in on forming an informed opinion. If your entire opinion is based on the news, youtube and Twitter... it's not your opinion, it's you repeating the opinion of others.

I know about the Little Ice Age and it's not what you want it to be. It was regional, not global. It also was not continuous, but had ebbs and flows which are well documented. Perhaps you should look it up again.
@@Dimitris_Half and I completely agree. But if we disappeared the human race tomorrow, it wouldn't stop. We should still focus on that issue, but without taking an extreme and misleading approach to information and action. If the public has an incorrect understanding of climate change, our actions can miss addressing other issues or fail when people don't understand why it's not solving all our problems
@@ChrisHinton1967 it affected average temperatures across an entire hemisphere. I'd say affecting half the globe is worthy of attributing to global climate. You're being obtuse and trying to make an excuse to ignore a significant example. And remember it's ONE example. There are many. But clearly you are who I expected you to be, so consider this my last response. I refuse to waste my time on closed minded people. I've said my piece, others can read it and hopefully take a less narrow view. Good luck folks; just remember that information provided to you in a summary in the news or social media is often skewed for a message. If you want an informed opinion, inform yourself, don't just listen to other opinions.
-I think we should try to block some sunlight to cool the planet (to reduce the melting of Earth's ice).
That called geo-engineering, a very dangerous solution. Better (safer !) reduce CO2 emissions, even if this is unpleasant !
That's quite hard
the Earth’s CO2 is 0.04%
Compared to 0.02% 100 years ago, don’t underestimate how small it is, it can still trap heat. Now twice as more than it could 100 years ago
And if your blood stream becomes 0.01% fentanyl; you're dead.

@@timothybailey6281no it was 0.04 100 years ago too.

@@timothybailey6281 so during the carboniferous period when the co2 levels were up around 2100 ppm the earth must have been 85 or 100 degrees Celsius eh.
Doesn't the climate clock say we need to cap it at 1.5 °C within the next (as of now) 6 years?
Yeah to avoid the worst
the Northern hemisphere is 33% greener than it was in 1900. Sea levels are rising at the same rate as they were in 1865. The hottest decade on record sine the ending of the "Little Ice Age", was the 1930s into the early 1940s. The earth cooled from from 1940 to 1979 by .3° C. There was no warming between 1998 and 2015, the Earth has not warmed since 2016. From February 2016 to February 2018, global average temperatures dropped by 0.56° C. The Earth was warmer, there was less sea ice, and the sea levels higher during the "Medieval Warm Period".
2022 Summer Arctic sea extent was greater and the ice thicker, than it was in 2008. Antarctica has been gaining 112 billion tons of ice a year since 1992. Yet according to NASA 2022 was the sixth hottest year on record. There is no mass extinction event occurring due to climate change, the Polar Bear population is five times what it was in 1960, and at its highest ever recorded.
In 2019 more child died from problems associated with obesity, than from malnutrition or starvation. In 2020 the United States produced 25% more food than it needed or could export. All major crop yields have increased three fold since the 1940s, due in no small part to increased CO2 in the atmosphere.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, however it has never been proven that concentrations of CO2 will cause warming, in fact we know from ice cores that CO2 concentration lags behind periods of rapid warming.
The world population has exploded, however it was expected to top out at nine billion, and then begin decreasing. The reason being that as developing nations become more prosperous, they tend to have less children. By depriving developing nations access to cheap fuel, they are forced to burn wood and dung to cook, light and heat their homes, causing massive health problems, deforestation, and leading to a mass extinction event as they kill local wild life to sustain themselves with protein. Bottom line..... there is no "Climate Crisis"

@@nizar151 Let me guess, you didn't see any of the three responses I sent you with links?
The increase in temperature regardless of whether it is 1, 2 or 4 degrees is a serious problem. However, that 4.5 hiroshima atomic bombs of heat every second is inaccurate and at best a extremely dramatic over-exageration. The problem of population growth was also not mentioned.
To increase the temperature of the whole atmosphere by 1 degree C we need around 10^21 J of energy. However we would need to increase the temperature of the ocean as well and it is 1.3 *10^9 km^3. 4200 J per 1 L means we need 4.2*10^3*1000*10^9*1.3*10^9 J= 5.5*10^24 J. 1 hiroshima bomb is around 10000 tons of TNT and each ton is around 10^10 J, so each bomb is around 10^14 J. If we add 4.5*10^14 J each second to the atmosphere we would get 1 degree C increase in temperature after approximately 10^10 seconds or 322 years. It is a very rough approximation, however it seems comparable to the presented data in the video.

I am confused about what he said about the rising sea levels caused by melting the arctic ice. Isn't it really about the antarctic ice and the glaciers on land ? Ice that is already in water doesn't influence water level.
We are also at the end of an ice age... So it's that too but people like to overlook that
So we have actually hastened our demise. Who was the guy that said "Extinction by 2026"?
We’re supposed to be heading towards a glacial period 50,000 years from now, but because of the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions we’re delaying that transition from 100,000-500,000 years from now.

Why is climate the average? Who says that except climate activists? This is a gross oversimplification. Also, why is the single factor analysis of carbon content any good for a complex dynamic system such as the weather? News flash, its not remotely adequate. Stop all this climate catastrophe bs, we’re fine and will be in the future. Look into it, I challenge you.
Not climate, global mean temperature is the average that is looked at. For a reason: This is a simpler metric that *can* be modeled, and it is not only CO2 (or greenhouse gases alone) that goes into these models. The current models are indeed quite good in simulating the past to our current state; the projections into the future have uncertainties attached to them - but they all point upwards, even with the lowest projections. Global warming is a fact (it can be measured), and the main causes are clear (greenhouse gas emissions).
What this would mean to the climate is another matter; but even if the much more complex climate models are unreliable (they are, every climate scientist will tell you that) - we can already see what's happening everywhere, even where I live (northern Germany): More energy and change in a complex system has nearly always the same effect - instability. At least this can be predicted (and can already be experienced).
At least you could keep an eye on the changes that are already happening - they might affect you in your lifetime (unless you're old), even if you don't believe in them. And if you have offspring - think at least about their future. Unless you don't care about them …

How do you reconcile the current thinking of CO² as the driver of higher temperatures with the past inverse correlations of CO² and temperature?
For example when CO² was rising while the temperature was falling, and when CO² was falling while the temperature was rising..
But how do ya even know there is an atmosphere? (said in the voice of an anti-environmentalist)
Albedo - discuss.
Navier-Stokes equation (unsolved) - discuss.
When has there been a reasoned public debate? - discuss.
What do you mean by just saying albedo? As polar ice melts, albedo goes down, continuously speeding up warming. (On top of trapped co2, methane and other ghg trapped in ice)
