no. you posted a deranged hypothetical based on absurd assumptions.

you deserve to feel stupid for failing to understand basic relationships.

Of course it's hypothetical. That doesn't make it useless. I'll rephrase and give you another stab at it..

"If humans quadrupled the amount of greenhouse gases and water vapor in Earth's atmosphere would there be any change in Earth's climate?"

If humans can pollute on a micro scale (rivers, city air quality, etc), why would it be implausible to think we couldn't on a macro scale

I agree this seems reasonable. I'm looking at climate change which isn't necessarily a byproduct of pollution though

This from the clown who said Fukushima was solved a week after the incident.

fricking moron.

And yet you still won't answer a very simple hypothetical question. We all know why.

Its fair to say things like "you are using ridiculous numbers" ... but you can't even admit that at those ridiculous numbers there would be an observable effect on weather patterns/ climate... sad tbh.. for your types it has more to do with agenda and less with reality

And the reason Mars is experiencing rapid climate change? (psst, there is no life there, of any kind)

there is a great chance (supported by scientific evidence) that there was life there in the past.

so ghosts are now causing martian climate change?

I'm obviously going with false.

So in your simplified what if, you left off strength of stellar radiation reaching said planet. How much radiation is being expelled and how far away the planet is from it's star, and what are the planetary conditions.

So for example after pumping all that " massive amounts of green house gasses, water vapor, CO2 etc.. over hundreds of years. " on Pluto the atmosphere would be identical since it would all freeze out on the surface. On Mars the polar ice caps would increase in an immeasurable way. On Mercury it would disappear into space. And on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune it would be unnoticed in the vast atmospheres. An atmosphere like ours can only exist with photosynthetic life, and life changes everything.

Terraforming is easy in Sci-Fi books and movies. But this is not fiction.

Because of life, a metallic core that creates a powerful magnetic field, liquid water, and plate tectonics, Earth would experience negligible change. All of these "pollutants" occur naturally and in very large amounts on earth. All of these chemicals are involved in natural geological/biological cycles that take them from the surface to underground and back again.

Let's look at CO2. Man introduced carbon comes from fossil fuels. This was all part of the biosphere! Coal came from plants that grew so fast that they were "sequestered" before decay organisms could recycle them. Oil and natural gas come from single called organisms that got buried on the sea floor before they can be recycled. Oil and natural gas naturally leak in very significant amounts and life recycles it. Coal seams weather away and are recycled, and ancient buried carbon is pumped to the surface in volcanic eruptions that occur daily worldwide. Finally most of the American West and Florida are built on limestone that was laid down as coral and carbon rich shells! Most of the carbon would be absorbed into the biota of the planet because of increased plant growth. More limestone, oil and gas deposition -"sequestered"!

Finally, let's look at real world terraforming. Oxygen producing life began spewing out billions of tons of poisonous O2 about 2.7 billion years ago, but free atmospheric oxygen did not appear until 2.45 billion years ago. That took 250 million years for the incredible amount of tons of chlorophyll equipped life forms to overcome the absorbtive capacity of the Earth!

Hundreds of years? Good luck with that!
