    • @peoplez129
      @peoplez129 Před rokem +8

      It's a lie though. An ice age would be caused by the snowball effect, where the ice caps expand too much. But the principle cause of that is snow coverage, which reflects the sun, which cools the earth, which causes more snow coverage, and so on. It's a run away effect. The earth warming would have no such effect. It might make things a bit cooler from all the cooler melt ice, but that doesn't lead to a snowball effect, and that cooling doesn't last for long, because that melted ice and snow is no longer reflecting light. With those facts in hand, one might think "Well then global warming is real! If the ice melts, the polar areas are going to warm and then there's nothing to cool the earth!". Except how do you think the polar caps developed in the first place? They don't develop based on global environment, they develop based on the earths tilt and distance from the sun, and because of the shape of the earth. So it is literally impossible for the ice caps to ever disappear. Even the planet Mercury, which is a blistering 330 degrees in most parts, has ice caps.
      If anything, global warming would be a second golden age for humanity. It might make living at the equator less comfortable, but the majority of land on the earth is not at the equator. Which means it would open up vast resource rich areas with very good and pristine farming soil, while also making the general populated colder areas much nicer. Most of our energy doesn't go toward cooling in the summer, it goes toward heating in the winter. That's why you might pay $30 to run an air conditioner for a month in the summer, but $300 to heat your home in the winter. One is clearly a much more energy intensive task. Which means even warmer summers, would mean less pollution. So the benefits of global warming are vast, to the point that there are basically no downsides, as any downsides would be completely counteracted by the benefits. And we would actually pollute less as a species.

Another even larger factor is the continental distribution: Snow can not accumulate to large ice caps on the open sea, Antarctica often played the key role here. The ice will melt simply when Antarctica will leave the south pole again, in ~90 million years to form Pangea Ultima, then the whole cenozoic Ice Aeon will end.

What has been said is that we have crossed multiple points of no return, which could have disastrous implications 50-100 years from now, because it takes time for released CO2 to actually trap the sun's heat. And for the record, parts of the world are already being devastated by climate change. Huge swathes of sub-saharan Africa have become uninhabitable due to droughts brought on by increased temperatures, extreme weather events like hurricanes have become more common, less rainfall in places like California and Australia has made wildfires far more catastrophic, the Maldives are literally sinking because the sea levels are rising, and we're a couple decades away from mass ecological collapse the world over. We're knee deep in the effects of climate change, but you're denying it because rag tabloids more concerned with celebrity diets than any facts painted absurd pictures of overnight global desertification and societal collapse, straight out of a gloomy sci-fi film. Just because it hasn't come to your doorstep yet doesn't mean that it's suddenly not real.

More co2= more plant growth all over the planet, especially like palces that have droughts or low water, and more plants = more food for animals that will climb up the food chain.

      Data from NASA in 2010 suggested that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) had not slowed down, but may have actually sped up slightly since 1993. The contrived slowing down and shutting down scenario of the Thermohaline circulation of the global warming scammers for their fake excuse for global cooling should result higher than normal temperature in regions near the equator EVEN IN WINTER TIME when the slowing down or stopping of the ocean current fails to bring cold sea water from the north to the equatorial regions. But the opposite is happening. Both Australia and Brazil are now in winter time and both of them are experiencing record low temperatures due to Solar minimum instead of the speculated higher winter temperature predicted by the theory of the global warming scammers.

      In fact there was only normal and insignificant warming in the past decades due to the increase in solar activities, which could be observed from the increase of sunspots, instead of the catastrophic global warning due to CO2 that Al Gore lied about. Both NOAA and NASA had kept genuine temperature data in the past decades in the form of graphs. However, they were found to have corrupted the temperature data on the archived temperature graphs to create the false impression of rapid global warming on some new graphs in order to lie for their masters in the global warming scam.

      As data proves there is no global warming (the ones that started the discussion were manipulated)... However weather pattern changes somehow, and there is a tendency for more moisture in the atmosphere. However neither the frequency nor the severity of Hurricanes as example had increased... wich someone would expect with rising water temperatures...
      Water level rise is limited to land based Ice shields, of wich are two major left. Greenland and Antarctica.
      Antarctica show no tendency to melt, and Greenland is very limited melting. This is underlined by 3.7 mm water rise per year.... wich is not really threatening imo.
      So my guess is this all is a red herring to distract people from more pressing issues like unemployment, rise of world population and resource wars. War in general is far more threatening than climate change.

Conflicting data with that had been removed from the study.. That's not science isn't it? Its 'proving' something on purpose and most likely for cash.
      The current data don't prove a global warming trend, not at all. Climate models are faulty, only recently they added water vapor to it, i can't imagine what else is left out. So these models are of no use.
      The next prognosis might be likely be a global cooling after they changed already to a more general 'Climate change' tag. So how is that in any way different from a fortune teller? It's not Science that i can tell you.

      Mankind had little to do with that trend. That might have changed, even if the data point more to a 'change' of weather patterns rather than a global warming trend at all.
      I'm no scientist but i got a solid physical background with a bachelor degree in CS. So i know exactly what a computer model can do and what not.. Decisions based on a faulty model is not a good idea.
      The rest is hype and the always present 'The sky is falling ' we are doomed mood.
      Which is not scientific at all.
      This all is a red herring we can pick on while they rule. Global sea level rises that is true, a few millimeters a year, and it rises since the end of the last ice age, right ? That summed up to about 120 meters at least. It picked up from 2.2 millimeters a year to about 3. And if you live near the coast you can start packing, in 100 years you might have to move.
      As i pointed out the number and frequency of Hurricanes have NOT changed. Wich is proof that oceans are not getting warmer in general. (if you might know about the connection between water temperature and the appearance of hurricanes you might even know why)
      What has increased is the damage they do if landfall.
      There are plenty of other examples that counters the claim of a Global warming, ah right they changed it to Global climate change.. so even they can't uphold the claim.
      And no you won't be able to change my opinion as it it based on solid facts, probably far more solid than what these payed windbags have to say.
      Your frustration stems most likely from a discrepancy between what is told to you by the media and what is really happen. This can be quite different after what i have experienced in my 58 years of life.

The planet is greening now as CO2 levels rise and increased photosynthesis as the resultant may take a while to fully demonstrate the benefits longer term. Mankind has proven to be highly adaptable to change but mostly wrong on solving long-term issues as complex as climate. Read Bjorn Lomberg's assessment for an economic eye opener!

      As long as we continue to practice capitalism there will never be a concerted effort to solve this crisis, because capitalism requires constant growth, it requires immediate profits, it is simply unsustainable, and it could never organize nor muster the political or economic will to sink money and effort into a project of a global scale that will deliver no financial gain.
      Capitalism simply cannot operate in a way that does not kill the environment. Capitalism is a system that is driven by the pathological need for profit at any cost, market economies are anarchistic and irrational and cannot help people, only enrich a few at the benfit of the many. We need a collectivized, planned economy before we can even begin to tackle global climate engineering.

So, the heat from the sun is reaching deeper than before. I believe this is why it snows, and ground freezing is happening in the deep south.

      It are the oceans and its currents that dictate the climate. Only the Sun can warm the ocean surface. CO2 back-radiation does not have the correct wavelength to penetrate the ocean deeper than its skin and therefore cannot heat the ocean.
      So we would need less clouds or a stronger Sun or less UV absorption in the atmosphere.
      Even so if the poles get colder because of a circulation breakdown we immediately would see more ice created so saltier denser water and less melt water the exact conditions for restoring the system.
      Also around the equator warmer seas would have more evaporation and therefore more cloud cover cooling the ocean.

      @@ducthman4737 I think you’re forgetting the affects anoxia and acidification at the surface on everything that lives below that. With higher CO2 in the atmosphere, the ocean becomes more acidic, and with higher temperatures less oxygen rich. More CO2 can be held in water than is needed to become toxic to living things, let alone too acidic for exoskeletons of zooplankton to be built, so we don’t need to bother with CO2’s saturation since everything would be long asphyxiated before then. I should also say that the surface is where the depths get all their oxygen from. The depths will be slowly but surely asphyxiated.
      Nutrient flow would also be impacted. Without the waterfall system, the deep sea weakens in its ability to support life due to low trace minerals. This mixing helps drive oceanic life beyond thermal vents at the sea floor. The twilight zone becomes much more isolated from the surface zone since the warm surface water mixes less with the cooler deep water, with species that require journeying between the depths and surface for food by night getting whittled down in numbers due to less food, temperature shock, anoxia, and acidification. Eventually, marine snow volumes decrease, making the midnight and abyssal depth detrivores (those who eat dead animal and plant matter) eventually begin to starve too, causing their predators to also starve. Without the stable surface, the oceans cease to be the bustling place of life we know them to be.
      The poles’ cooling and subsequent cooling over northern Europe doesn’t do enough to fully stop the greenhouse effect either. If anything, the effects wouldn’t have time to take hold as the climate keeps warming in a feedback loop from already existent ice loss. At most, the ice we have might be holding on for dear life for an additional few years before greenhouse gases caught up again. It couldn’t do much for long enough or fast enough to not still see widespread damage from warmer winters, since it takes centuries or millennia to grow enough permanent ice to combat our current level of warming.
      Despite the ice holding on for just a little longer, we still have a much hotter equator anyway, levelling out the would be “benefits” of the cooler north even further. The temperate subtropics might have a lovely stable climate for a short while, less perturbed by seasonal variances (which many species rely on), but would see worse offshoots of freak weather from all that ocean evaporation in the tropics and drier cool air in the north and south. The evaporation wouldn’t do enough for cloud coverage, either. Clouds only last so long, only do so much for our albedo, and storms tend to wreck natural sources of greenhouse gas absorption anyway. The one positive thing from all the clouds would be the subsequent storms’ lightning making a tiny amount of extra ozone, as we’d really want it with all the heating going on.

    Unlike "have and had" which tense is based on time, "bring and take" tense is based on location of the person who is either speaking or making the request.
    When do I use bring?
    You use bring when you ask someone to bring you something to your location, i.e. The location of the person your making the request is in a different location than the requestor, even if its in the same room and they are to bring the tv remote from their location to your location. Notice bring is used when the item is in the other location.
    Example: "Can you bring your clothes with you to Europe", when asked by someone who is in the location of the request. i.e. Europe.
    When do I use Take?
    Either if you are taking something from your location, or asking someone to take something from your location to another location. Notice take is used if the item is in your location.
    Example: "Can you take your clothes with you to Europe" or "I will take my clothes to Europe" this states that I will take the clothes from my location to the other location.
    I hope this makes Tense! Enjoy!!
    Please spread the word of the grammatical use of Bring and Take, it makes individuals sound some what uneducated and I know that's not what they want to sound like.

In a warm age it's warmer than in the average ice age. There is also a cold age, that's colder than the average ice age. So we don't have to be afraid of an ice age but of a cold age.

Apparently this would-be trend is the only thing saving us from even more rapid warming than we already see. But given that we're warming the planet so drastically and rapidly, the resulting cold rebound may be even more desperate than is supposed in the video, considering that we should really be already heading into a deeper ice age.

    We're currently in the middle of an Ice Age. The Earth has experienced five major ice ages and this one is called the Quaternary. It has been characterized by alternating periods of glaciation averaging 70,000-90,000 years and interglacial warming periods of 10,000-30,000 years.
    There have been approximately a dozen epochs of glaciation interspersed with interglacials over the last million years. Our current interglacial, the Holocene epoch, began about 12,000 years ago. At the peak of the last glaciation, about 18,000 years ago, there were ice caps and glaciers over two miles high covering Detroit and much of North America, Europe, and the southern parts of South America and Africa.

      It it warms will raise about 1 degree.Many ppl around the globe noticed that is getting colder compared with previous years.This is because an ice age is coming.Temperatures will be similar with Siberia or even lower.Ice will cover most of earth.This is coming because sun enters a minimum activity cycle.There is an ice age every 25-30000 years.

    Seeing as we are still in the warm trend of an ice age, what you should mean is will the warm trend continue and end the current one, or will the climate flip back to cold ice age with glaciers.
    Seriously this doom and gloom the more I relearn about the planets history is distorting the trends the planets been going thru for billions of years.
