The global average atmospheric carbon dioxide is 405 parts per million. Carbon dioxide levels today are higher than at any point in at least the past 800,000 years.

The tipping point is when methane begins to melt in permafrost and beneath warming seas. Then there will be a runaway greenhouse effect in the atmosphere.

What about the 5,600 800k year periods preceding the last one?

Yet the warming trend has been at a virtual standstill since the late 90s.

Since the earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old, I’m gonna need more data than the last 800,000 years to make any kind of scientific conclusion that humans are the cause, that humans can do anything to stop or slow down a major climatological shift, or that we are in the process of a major climatological shift.

Several major volcanic eruptions over the history of the earth have each produced many upon many times more co2 as humans have ever created.

Methane lives in the atmosphere for about 9 years, then oxidizes into co2 and h2o. FYI it has been steadily rising in the atmosphere for the last 200 years with a short decline in the mid 2000s. just like the 800,000 year thing it is not something you can draw any accurate conclusions from to form climatological predictions with regard to humans being the cause. Without millions of years worth of data to analyze our effect on climate change it is all speculation.

Also the UN has released false data on climate change in the past.

There is a better chance an asteroid will wipe us all out than Man made climate change. Which by using the same time period logic that climate change nuts are using to base their numbers on, should be any time now (give or take a few thousand years).

Forgot to mention that pressure also plays a key part in the methane staying “frozen” at the bottom of the worlds oceans and beyond that, the amount of heat required to heat the deep oceans that much is so extreme that we would be long gone before we had to worry about that methane.

Consider that preparation for a volcano disaster like the one that happened in 1816. You know, the year without a summer where tens of thousands of people died of starvation because the earth was not warm enough in some places to grow food.

I’ll just leave this here....



If anyone can look at this pie chart and still believe that CO2 from humans can change the global climate even the slightest, then you’re too stupid to help.

The guy was probably super misleading with his report, but saying the trend needs to be stopped by 2000 =/= saying the impacts would be widespread by 2000.

Still waiting for the Arctic to remain free of ice in the summer (it was already supposed to be happening for years by now).

Other than the fact that 30 years after his prediction no nations have disappeared yet? Yeah ok. We should ask him for his hot take today.
