16 years 9 months, crazy fast global warming

  1. In a few weeks, we can say everyone in high school has experienced global warming at a rate not seen in thousands of years. They now see what they face in their future. All due to the pollution of our atmosphere with the greenhouse gas CO2 which is the dominant controlling GHG for the earth's temperature. Not water vapor.

    95% of the total greenhouse effect is due to water vapor in the earth's atmosphere. Man-made Co2 in the atmosphere amounts to only 0.117% of the total greenhouse effect.

    If humans totally eliminated their contribution to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the earth's average air temperature would continue to increase at about the same rate. You gloom and doom pushers should paint the earth white to reflect the sun's rays. Now that probably would halt global warming and put the earth back in another major ice-age. Then you gloom and doom pushers will have a legitimate problem to complain about as we all watch each-other starve to death.
     

  3. Completely wrong. Humans have caused an increase by 40% of CO2 level.

    From NASA. Perhaps you have heard of them?

    "From the foregoing, it is clear that CO2 is the key atmospheric gas that exerts principal control (80% of the non-condensing GHG forcing) over the strength of the terrestrial greenhouse effect. Water vapor and clouds are fast-acting feedback effects, and as such, they are controlled by the radiative forcing supplied by the non-condensing GHGs.

    The bottom line is that atmospheric carbon dioxide acts as a thermostat in regulating the temperature of Earth. The rapid increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide due to human industrial activity is therefore setting the course for continued global warming. Because of the large heat capacity of the climate system, the global surface temperature does not respond instantaneously to the sharp upturn of the carbon dioxide thermostat, which at this moment stands at 386.80 ppm compared to the normal interglacial maximum level of 280 ppm. Since humans are responsible for changing the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide, they then also have control over the global temperature of the Earth. Humans are at a difficult crossroad. Carbon dioxide is the lifeblood of civilization as we know it. It is also the direct cause fueling an impending climate disaster. There is no viable alternative to counteract global warming except through direct human effort to reduce the atmospheric CO2 level."

  4. The impact of GW on economy and agriculture on cspan.

    good watch, very compelling evidence presented by multiple speakers/scientists/researchers!:eek:

    what a joke... you make up lies in response to the facts on this post I made a few weeks ago.

     
  6. Jem, you are a joke. Look at how much the world has warmed since 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000 etc in fact any date older than your fraudulent cherry-picked 1998 spike, on the above accurate (as opposed to your selective data set chart) chart from NOAA. This huge rate of warming is due to man's CO2 pollution.

    look at the chart the IPCC put out before they fudged the numbers..

    and the real history...

  10. Jem, you and your charts are a joke.
