      What is CONSEQUENTIAL is that fact that all this green social engineering is being driven by woke politicians who get their information from “experts” that don’t even know the basics, like the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. Thank you for showing that you have such a woke bias that you missed that most salient point.

      The voters are all still parroting these lies. So they continue to vote for the corruption thats pocketing the money. To be fair, it's not all bad. EPA/CARB has done some good but at what cost? It was all band-aid fixes. Now California roads are garbage, money spent elsewhere. Electrical Infrastructure is approaching 60 years behind upgrades. Now we need electric cars? California can not handle the ones we got. Locally a transformer blew up last week. Age? Life-cycle acceleration? Demand? Young voters are voting for this.

      Who is attempting to regulate our lives? Seems like anyone with power is on the fast track.
      The greenhouse effect was demonstrated around 1850. Oil and gas has known of global warming from burning fossil fuels since the 1950's.
      The issue started going public in the 1980's.
      Coincidentally the tobacco knew about addiction to nicotine and extreme health risks due to smoking in the 1950's but kept it out of the public discourse for decades. I graduated high school 1965. Despite their knowledge of health risks and probably because of the knowledge of addiction cigarette companies where handing out smokes at blue collar work places and marketing the hell out their product.
      Self interest over the good of all.
      That is who is attempting to regulate or avoid regulation that would change the flow of cash.
      Why are so many Americans ignorant of the whole picture? People commenting on this video seem, for the most part, to cling to and repeat only the stuff that suits their biases.
      One thing I would ask is just how much change to affect production of fossil fuels or change to an economy that is more sustainable have we seen and how much has it cost?
      By 1990 the US had spent $10 T on the nuclear portion of the cold war ($20 T in 2020 dollars). None of that benefited the ordinary American.

    My physics textbook from 1970 states CO2 is 0.04%. Now more than 50 years later the answer still is.....0.04%.
    (Edit: Now it is a year later and I have been inundated with replies (several hundreds). Some are polite and some are nasty and arrogant. I worked in a qualitative/quantitative/thermal analysis laboratory for 34 years at a large university. Please do not insist that atmospheric CO2 is never reported as a percent. That is incorrect. I had a state of the art Gas Chromatograph, and reports were always generated as percentages in scientific notation which makes sense because you cannot report "contents" in different units when the normalized total is 100%. Lastly, the original comment was a simple factoid which for some odd reason offends many people. I am 71, and if I said that "55 years ago I saw something unusual or interesting", why would you countermand it? It was a very simple statement that (at the time) I had no reason to disbelieve or believe; my life has not revolved around this textbook. My basic point is: why is everyone quibbling over 40 to 45 ppm of CO2? Please accept that IMO it is not harmful. If you have a different opinion that is fine with me. IMO, stating that CO2 has risen by a third in the last century means nothing to me. Stating it has risen by 45 PPM in the last 60 years is at least objective. Please refrain from posting comments that are not objective. Thank you.

      Oil and gas per the biogenic theory of origin comes from marine organisms not land plants. And how productive each region of ocean is for sediments resulting in kerogen once it is free of ice cover may not vary too wildly. As to global warming, there is a factor most ignore and that is the weakening of our planet's magnetic field.
      It maybe a much stronger factor than CO2.
      It is said by some most of the green house effect comes within the first couple of hundred ppm of CO2 such current increases in CO2 have negligible effects.
      Currently, I've not formed a strong opinion except that those who push the CO2 heating theory are a best poorly informed and at worst are pushing a false narrative for profit and even malice. Could the elites be correct? Maybe somewhat but even their solutions may be worse than the problem.

We were given lists of animals that would be extinct in 20 years, including tigers and elephants. We were told that sea levels would rise and London would be flooded, we were told we were heading for a new ice age and would all freeze to death, we were told that the ozone layer would be depleted within 100 years and we would all fry to death.
    You would think that they would have at least got one nearly right - unfortunatley due to simple entropy there are some animals that will die off, there will be various changes in climate and the natural world but killing off human beings through poverty and famine to try and stop it is clearly not the answer.

      Water has the peculiar function of occupying a greater volume when it turns solid. Meaning when said icecaps melt either the lost displacement would cause the water level to drop (because less overall volume occupied) or it would stay about the same because there'd be a greater quantity of liquid H20 in said oceans to offset said volume shift.

    Science lesson:
    If carbon dioxide is currently roughly estimated at 400 PPM.
    Then it would be .04% of the troposheric content.
    CO2 only holds about 40% of the infrared radiation striking the Earth's surface.
    Even that eventually makes it out of our atmosphere back into space.
    It's like a blanket that self regulates, or like a thermostat that maintains a comfortable surface temperature.
    There are a lot of misnomers about the greenhouse effect.
    If the greenhouse effect could so easily run away and heat the surface of the Earth to an unlivable Venus like temperature, then it would have occurred many times in the past, and none of us would be here.
    Earth has experienced what are referred to as greenhouse periods in geologic history.
    The P.E.T.M. 56 million years ago, for example.
    But it was the orbital variances and the axial tilt of Earth that were responsible.
    Not carbon dioxide.
    Carbon dioxide levels only rise when the co2 molecule is excited by heat.
    Heat on the surface is caused by infrared radiation exciting molecules, which is friction, which causes heat.
    Another misnomer is that methane is the most potent of all greenhouse gases.
    Technically, It is. But methane can not exist for too long in the presence of oxygen because it oxidizes into water and carbon dioxide, Ending it's role in the carbon cycle.
    Anthropogenic warming theory leaves out water's role as the most prevalent greenhouse gas.
    Al Gore made that statement very early on in this conspiracy theory.
    It's in his "fictional movie."
    Water vapor is the only reason why any of us are alive today.
    Water vapor contains a specific amount of carbon dioxide from winter to summer, from greenhouse period to glacial period.
    Water absorbs carbon dioxide when it is cold, and it emits carbon dioxide when it is warm.
    It rises and falls with the amount of infrared radiation that is striking the earth's surface.
    Take the money out of the climate change conspiracy theory, and nobody will be talking about it anymore.

    Fun fact: a concentration of 0.5% C02 is the US occupational safety limit for an 8 hour period. 1.5% is known to cause light symptoms in some people, at 3% more severe symptoms can present, and at 7% - 10%, there’s a significant chance of a human falling unconscious and suffocating to death. 5% wasn’t just a bad answer, it’s an answer that shows such a fundamental lack of knowledge on one of the core elements of what their panel is meant to assess, that it’s impossible for me to feel comfortable with these people dealing with anything emissions related.

The problematic are those seashell that convert co2 to carbonate and fall into the ocean floor.

The fact that Atmospheric CO2 has increased by about 50% in the past 200 years means that we can vary the amount quickly.

We have been though many surges in the CO2 amount & the plants went through greening surges as a result, but unfortunately so much of the CO2 of the past is now locked away in limestone & fossil fuels. Even just with the amount of extra CO2 we have released into the biosphere since the industrial revolution has measurably increased the greening of the planet, so you are completely incorrect about this.

    The fact that we are only .02% away from reaching a point where there won't be enough CO2 for plants is perhaps the most alarming part of this. If anything, it sounds like we need more CO2 in order to make sure we keep a buffer to keep plants alive.

      That would be a reduction of more than 50% of current CO2 levels, and that’s not going to happen. CO2 “reduction” is about offsetting our current CO2 production. Before the Industrial Revolution, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was around 0.028% and it wasn’t as if plants were struggling to exist back then

      Actualy yes, we need far more co2. In greenhouses we increase co2 levels to 1600ppm to get optimum growing for plants. So yes co2 is just a madeup problem by idiots who scream the world is ending.
      We had those idiots for the entire history of humankind. Screaming the world is ending on the corners of streets. But now we got some morons in goverment who actualy listen to them.
      There is no climate problem, there are enviremental problems like the distruction of rainforrest for those vegetarian idiots who want soy beans. Or the plastics which get dumped in the ocean. But climate change is just a scam to make more money over the back of hard working people

Not only that, but with CO2, even a miniscule change from 0.04% to 0.05% can have devastating effects on the planet. I'm not sure what percent of CO2 would have to be in the atmosphere before you would start to care, but it doesn't take much to change drastically. And either way, Fossil Fuels are a finite resource. We will run out and that is a fact. Why not invest in tech that can give us renewable energy from the sun, wind, and water. Or invest in nuclear.

Big Ag is one of the primary REASONS we have a water shortage out west. They're the primary consumers. Residential water consumption is only 5% of the total.
      So yes, when you incentivize farmers to grow almonds, for instance, of course they're going to go to greater lengths to grow almonds even if the market forces don't incentivize it; because the government is handing out free money. And almonds are one of those crops that is insanely thirsty.
      So yes there are many forces that shape the industry. But federal subsidy is easily the biggest. Look, California is the #1 producer of avocados in America by a long shot, yet we still import most of our avocados from Mexico because they're cheaper. Our market incentives are completely jacked up.
