    We, Homo Sapiens, are doomed. There's no question in my mind that we have left it far too late, and any idea to address the issue needed to have been in place decades ago. We are doomed for another reason: In over 5,000 years of recorded History, Homo Sapiens has never worked together for very long, and then, only in small groups. Unless we as a species can't start working together, as a whole, we are finished in 150 to 200 years. And, for the record, I think we should work our asses off to solve this. Better to go down screaming defiance, than mewling.

    To make sure I am getting this right: Sununu "resigned in disgrace in 1991 after using government jets to go skiing and golfing", but it is OK to see Gore and Kerry, in 2023, using private jets to attend international meetings at which they express their concerns about climate change. If you wonder why people do not take them seriously, you may want to also consider this aspect: those who are most vocal about the danger of global warming are polluting at will and spending many millions of dollars on beachfront properties that by the climate change calculations should be submerged under raising ocean water within the next 20 years. That would make anyone who can put 2 and 2 together doubt them.

    They reason is sort of the same as Fusion power - they want funding, and the powerful people who fund climate garbage find it much easier to sell you something through government mandates and politician sellouts than to compete in the marketplace where you might just be content with what you have. CO2 is 4/10,000th of the atmosphere and man made contribution to that is 1/10,000th. If you had a 10,000 cubic cubic foot green house and you had 3 cu ft of CO2 in on and 4 cu ft of CO2 in the other - would you expect the one with an extra cubic foot to really be much warmer? If you have the slightest brain power you'd be correct to think no difference.

  • @JeffHoldenWS-NC
    @JeffHoldenWS-NC День назад

    Fun fact. That's a depth of the last ice age around 15,000 years ago CO2 got down to 180 parts per million. Photosynthesis stops at 150 parts per million. We came within 30 parts per million of CO2 of all life ending on the planet. Which brings up another question or two. Why did CO2 dip so low and then how did it recover without human beings pumping tons of carbon back into the atmosphere? And why does it do that over and over again on a cycle. For more inconvenient information Google integracial or click here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interglacial

    • @old-pete
      @old-pete 23 часа назад

      Photosynthesis still works at 150ppm. Inform yourself!! C4 plants grow down to 50ppm, some even lower... We know of the Milankovitch Cycles for over 70 years. You question was answered decades ago...

    • @JeffHoldenWS-NC
      @JeffHoldenWS-NC 22 часа назад

      This response was so idiotic on so many levels that's really not worth it... but I guess I'll roll in the mud for a bit. C4 plants can't reliably photosynthesis under 100 parts per million. Technically they can still survive at a level of 10 parts per million but thats Basically hibernation and not producing enough to feed anything else. Only 1% of the plants on earth are c4. C3 plants and everything else stop functioning at 150 parts per million C02 So if you're okay with 99% of all plant species death by lack of CO2...OK .. It's your funeral. The point was that within human lifetimes we got down to 180 parts per million CO2. Very close to game over. Luckily we don't have to worry about that because we're pumping a ton of CO2 into the atmosphere and so even the c3 plants can thrive. The deserts are greening. Interestingly There ain't a lot of deserts at the equator anyway. Deserts are determined by lack of humidity not an abundance of heat. The second question has to do with The Milankovitch cycle. That's another self one but you are actually correct... Sort of.... CO2 rises and falls in a cycle with temperature. But it follows temperature by 500 years. It doesn't precede it. You're correct CO2 increased when temperature increased based on the Milankovitch cycle but it has nothing to do with human beings. And CO2 increasing doesn't drive temperature increase. Temperature increases first then followed by CO2 not the other way around. Another more interesting question would be where are we on the Milankovitch cycle? If you glance at a chart for 5 minutes that references that cycle you'll see that we're about to crest the top but we're not quite there yet. That means temperatures are going to continue to rise for either several decades or several centuries. Perhaps even thousands of years before we crest the top and start down the other side. And we can't do a damn thing about it. No reduction in human produced CO2 will have any effect on it. " Oh, But temperature has never increased by this quickly before! We are all doomed and the oceans will boil!!!" There was this nifty event in human history called the younger dryus climate event. Temperatures quickly decreased by 10° c in areas of the Northern Hemisphere. There were mass extinctions but humans survived. Then after a thousand years temperatures all of a sudden increased by 10° in a decade. Humans thrived as well as the Earth in general. Yes we can survive rapid increases in temperature as we have done before and as we are going to now. Also concerning the video CO2 methane nitrous oxide or nothing compared to water vapor when it comes to moderating temperature. Water vapor 1 to 5% of the atmosphere is up to 40 times or more responsible for the greenhouse gases than a tiny 04% of CO2 and point .003 percent methane. I don't even know it much about nitrous oxide parts per billion or trillion but it's even more miniscule than the other trace gases.

  • @stuartkirby4654
    @stuartkirby4654 День назад

    I am an Engineer rather than a Climate Scientist but never-the-less have a lot of experience of modelling. When I graduated in 1980, the state of computing was rather primitive but I saw great strides which allowed 3D CADs models of components to be created and from these, stress models became pretty accurate. The next to fall was fluid flow but the models needed to contain a 3d matrix of hundreds of millions of data points for steady state conditions and took days to run. Both of these have relatively straight forward physics and just required sufficient number crunching. An area that was never properly solved involved heat transfer involving convection, conduction and radiation with the results being extremely poor - because the physics is too complex in the real world. Knowing the radiation parameters for surfaces contaminated in service by oils and debris and tarnished by high temperatures was very dodgy. Climate models are clearly in that category. You have to have a grid which is about 10x smaller than the features to be modelled. So if you want to model 1000m wide clouds then the scale needs to be about 100m. The model needs to encompass the whole earth at this accuracy and operate transiently rather than steady state which produces impossibly large models. And the physics to be modelled not only includes convection, conduction and radiation but an accurate inclusion of cloud formation, the effect of CO2 on plant growth and the ocean currents together with much else. It is known that clouds affect the heating of the earth much more than CO2. Their formation mainly/partially include the influence of cosmic and solar radiation with more clouds when the radiation is hitting the atmosphere and vice versa. Remember the cloud chamber demos from physics class? It is beyond credulity that climate models can predict anything approaching accuracy. The best that can be said is that CO2 does have an influence (even if only small) heating the planet and so it seems like a good idea to reduce this effect. However, we have to resist the ideology which says that hundreds of millions of people should be kept in or thrown back into poverty to ‘save the planet’. The morality of this situation is clear to anyone that loves humanity more than the planet.
