You should start here. All the models are based on many of the same starting points or a base model which typically originates from NASA's work in the 1980s.

Start here:

It isn't.
Not even debatable.

The fact this seems a controversial statement demonstrates just how pathetic our politicized educational process has become.

I should listen to a pundit with no qualifications in either electrical engineering or climatology proclaim the climate to be eternally stable because of a specious analogy to best practices for circuit design?

I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see


He stated it is not A primary contributor, which is absolutely false

If he had stated it isn't THE primary contributor, then many of the replies in this thread might have more merit

I live in the country just outside of town, have my shop at my home, probably 1400 sq ft. and drive maybe 2000 miles a year.

you have me confused, I only argue this help educate ignorance of the subject. You think I think we can do something about it. Not at all....damage is done brah, within the next century, you kids, your grandkids, your greatgrandkids will be fighting wars for resources because of climate change.

our only hope in the long term to avoid centuries of displacements, starvation is some break thru in energy tech that frees the world of the use of fossil fuels.

thousands of really, really smart people study this everyday of their lives, you should start listening to them.

and yet we've had very high Concentrations of CO2 and very low temperatures in history. Which renders your theory as so much bullshite.


It cracks you people posting on here think temperatures just rise and fall over short time spans in response to significant environmental changes.

took almost 800k years to go from 300 ppm to 400 ppm co2 naturally the last time it occurred, we, humans, got it done in 55 years.

we havent begun to see the effect of that very fast rise, but its coming.

there are 7 billion people on the planet and most of them don't live in the united states or Europe but even if everyone "reduced their carbon footprint" it wouldn't make a difference

unless you want to exterminate all life on the planet.


humans yearly put out the carbon dioxide output of 29000 Mt Saint Helens eruptions

i need to edit this, its 29000 Mt St helens eruptions since the industrial revolution all totaled.

in other word

our current billion tons of C02 yearly human output equals a Mt Saint Helens every 12.3 days.

the funny thing is, the planet tends to have this certain disregard for the life that occupys it. so you you can rest assured you'll get that thinning.
