Is there a summarized version of the current deal?
-
Already, the ruptured storage facility has released well over the equivalent of 800,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide – about the same amount that would be generated by driving 160,000 cars for a year, according to the California Air Resources Board. I'm guilty of it as are most of you, but I'm sick of burning dead plant material and gases. Can we simply take half the military budget and divert that to solar/wind farms and end this nonsense?
-
There are almost no posters here that deny that the earth has warmed 0.5C to 1.0C.
-
Wait a minute... are you saying that burning dead plant material isn't futuristic?
-
Solar just sits and earns money after being installed. Requires no fuel source. You install a coal or natural gas plant and you have a non stop expense to keep it running, you don't with solar.
-
Suck it from the air... inject it into the earth. From whence it came. This is quickly becoming a real possibility too.
-
These are probably seasonal fluctuations. Those areas don't have carbon sinks being released, unless it's forest fires.
-
Most of the general public probably thinks el nino is AGW driven. It's not. If it changes policy, I'm fine with it. The best thing about AGW mitigation is that it drives innovation and increases the pace of technology. I'm a technology geek more than a weather geek.... bring it on.

I'm not sure there is enough remaining hydrocarbons to achieve 750ppm. Lets say we were able to get co2 up to 1000ppm. Lets say the earth was 8C warmer, are you saying that animals in the temperate zone wouldn't migrate north? Fish would migrate north easily. I'm only discussing this for the sake of interest, I'm not trying to advocate some position that we allow that to happen. There has been several wipe outs since vertebrates have come on the scene and it has been complex life, not pond scum and plankton.
-
You could warm the planet up 15C more and life wouldn't go extinct. It would just spread north and half of the current animal life would vanish. 1,000 years later, equilibrium would be reached with the surviving life forms. 1,000,000 years later and you would never have known a die off happened. This is just a moment time time. As long as Earth remains in the Goldilocks zone of habitability, nothing short of an asteroid will wipe out life to the point that it wouldn't recover. Even then it would still recover.

We have one alarmist praying for el Nino to "shock the world" with a new record and another alarmist praying it away to remove the excuse for higher temps.
-
The last sentence sums up my feeling exactly. Go say that in PR and they will accuse you of physically threatening someone.

Paul Beckwith!

At present, it is increasing in brightness by about 1% every 100 million years. = Wikipedia
-
250 feet of sea level rise isn't going to happen before the next glacial age begins. That would require melting Antarctica, it's still gaining ice in the interior -- the calving on the edges might be completely normal.
-
We may be speeding up sea level rise, but even if humans went extinct 500 years ago... Miami would still end up under water within a few hundred years. Building big cities next to the sea, is kind of a new thing in this interglacial period.
-
The Eemian period was an interglacial period driven by Milankovitch cycles. The era we are in now, is the first carbon driven era in perhaps a few hundred million years. Your reference to the era and its co2 level is laughable.
-
10 year USCRN data for the US. Adjustment free - no bias data. I thought it was interesting to see that its been out for 10 years now.
-
I wonder when the next adjustment is due. They can milk the ocean quite a bit I assume.
-
You can't fling these claims out there with no possible way to verify the claim.
-
We have no way to verify this.
-
right.... Because floods are a new thing,
-
Why not? When the banter thread was started, alarmists nearly lost their marbles... I'm not sure why it's such a touchy topic to banter over. Every sub-forum has a banter section.
-
That was a best case scenario, it will probably take 2 good seasons to get back to pre 2007.
-
But we have been... We have almost erased 2007's damage. One more good season and we might get back to 2006 volume.
