I can go online now and find those same measurements. Bush senior is on telly saying much further back, "we had the choice between the environment or jobs" Trump is the result of your system not the cause.

@herauthon The whole earth system has been changed 1.5 degrees by our actions in around 170 years and another 1.5 coming in the next 100, something that would take thousands of years naturally, in the earths speed that is tremendously fast.

There is the same amount of energy in a tank of diesel than my entire electrical energy with the air con going 24-7 for 3.2 months over summer in a sub tropical place, a huge amount of energy per tank just to go for an ice cream, how many people will stop driving?

@Greg-Horne "We " as in the world, each and every person and it really comes down to per capita, not sure where your "we" is but USA is 4% of the world but uses 25% of the worlds energy and considering China makes all AMerica's stuff, well the worlds, bit unfair to blame them when we are the reason they make the stuff.

It's more that they don't have a thing to replace oil or the system money depends on. If you have something to replace those and keep the system running they would be keen to hear it, age doesn't replace oil and if the people won't change by themselves a bit harsh to blame people just because they are old, offer something to replace it, even with your actions and I am sure everybody would listen.

We know it's changing 1000 times faster, Accelerated Global Warming AGW means rapid change because of that acceleration, without any experience of being this warm before written down except for flood stories, at some time in the future, melt pulses of a couple of metres per decade should be fast enough. I thought the melt pulse reaching 8.1mm last year compared to the average of 4, I thought was enough speed change. They say at fivec at the fastest rate it will take 2000 years for all the ice to melt, 72 metres, sounds a long time, but does 5 metres in 200 years, or 2 metres in 100 years not ruin most modern cities? Then it doesn't matter the speed, just a slow motion accident that will take tens of thousands of years to get back to now.

@kayakMike1000 The science of what that little uptick in heat means has to have a cause, half the emissions have been in the last forty years and we can't put energy into a system without it meaning system and the ppm means we are adding trillions of molecules that trap radiant energy, why isn't the obvious problem being discussed, obvious, to you?
4
@Guvament_bs I'm just the messenger to a paper that describes it and has done the maths, you might want to reconsider your opinion. 2000 is at the fastest rate but a million years isn't mentioned at one degree from memory.

@tufftimesbc THe world had a 400 percent growth rate the last 80 years and will be lucky to be 40% the next 80 years, growth has effectively stopped and 23 countries are going to lose half their populations the next 80 years, but it is our energy consumption that is still increasing.

@sertandoom4693 Sure I can waste more time on this, I thought I explained habitat around the world is going to increase, along with nutrient values, I am talking small fish whose habitat has been lost and then of course everything else feeds on top of that all the way up the food chain. If coastal areas are all flooding, nutrient values are going to go up but that doesn't mean they are all going to be full of algae, this is not the gulf of Mexico that is the only area that is defined as coastal. A place in the UK is losing 13 feet a year I think it was, this is not going to have the corresponding fresh water or algae blooms to stop fish taking advantage of that now, pacific islands that are getting flooded aren't inundated with fresh water or acidification to stop fish moving in are they?

@MalcolmYoung-h4k In whose timeframe? I have seen 16 mentioned but as far as this persons lifetime and do you think 10c will happen?

@virutech32 Problem is 5999 of the 6000 products that come from a barrel of oil get refined at the same time diesel does. If we want synthetic tyres or asphalt or plastic, diesel then becomes a waste product, we don't get synthetic threads for the bus seats etc without it.
2
@markwilson1096 I know it's easy to say that but in all reality when you have a network of roads that use asphalt or car tyres that are synthetic rubber or even plastic for batteries that come from the same barrel as diesel or petrol it really is more than funding or profit, take everything away from your life that involves oil, even plastic for medical devices, there won't be much left.

@mescalshown4883 There's a belief that revolutions have never worked unless the bourgeois are in agreement with it, like the enlightenment period meant the end of slavery or another one is nothing really shifts until the middle class do. You have to take these people with you to whatever future there is and calling anybody limpy or privileged isn't going to do it when you're probably creating more problems than fixing them by insulting random people on the internet.

@TwilightMysts I actually said something to that person about their rudeness, it went too far, for no reason but I just wanted to say I have lived this way and still do. It's incredibly cheap, sure there are no cruises, but I've stopped driving, I know food still gets driven to me because I live in a city etc but the energy in a tank of diesel is the same as my total electrical consumption for 3.2 months in a subtropical place with the air con going 24-7. Food and shelter or medical care aren't a great portion of a total nations spending and if we wanted to do that, for everybody, it would make the place better. We spend an amazing amount of energy doing nothing it seems, why not go back to just the basics?
2
@quickmythril2398 why not prove that it is for another reason because if you can show a natural way that means 1000 times faster change isn't CO2, the you will have changed the world, so if you can prove that it would be great because of the dramatic change as shown by the vertical line in temperature there is nothing else that it could be without humans being aware of it.

@Peregringlk I found data on that confusing, 1 source said forests world-wide absorb that much and amazon a quarter of that, others said it's losing 3 billion and others said it's almost a net emitter but still absorbing, but we couldn't stop subsistence people or farmers cutting down trees when we had them, not sure if we can stop them.
2
If we reduce emissions 80% as is asked, that will lower consumption overall, we do not need to do anything else but lower emissions, the tree's and mangroves etc will look after themselves. Have you lowered emissions at all or consumption overall the last few decades?
2
@Peregringlk Light intensity, Carbon dioxide concentration, Temperature, Amount of chlorophyll are the four things that affect photosynthesis and at the moment trees worldwide, for the last 30 years have had declining amounts of carbon stored while temperature and carbon have increased because of the lower light intensity aerosols and particulate. The Brasil Amazon is a net emitter because they are burning so much but generally old growth forests are pretty much carbon neutral, it's like cattle or a bog, as a bog gets bigger it emits more methane, when it reaches full size there can only be so much warming from it, as long as the bog, herd, forest doesn't get any bigger and old growth forests where tree's that die of old age, will fall, all the carbon released ( no matter the carbon level in the atmosphere ) and as long as another tree grows they are carbon neutral, overall there can only be carbon absorption on a mass scale is if there is mass new planting but eventually they too will be carbon neutral and unless we change our ways trees won't help.

@JBaxter-pi8oj " However, farmers usually farm only a limited number of products that usually compete with Big Agriculture" I can't believe you put a comma after your however, like you had "the " answer, do you know of any situations where farmers aren't all selling to the open market? What is the goal, to make food more expensive or cheaper and do you know any other catchy bywords because this is just word salad without any physical meaning, sorry ; "If farmers can be supported by farming in different ways, such as participating in collectives, they can achieve more sustainable incomes by using biodiverse methods and can do that on a smaller scale" Do you know of any small scale co-operative that is biodiverse with or without support, in person, or are you just putting out words that say nothing overall?
2
@JBaxter-pi8oj Which is such a weak reply when all I asked was you to back up your words. It's not that you questioned, it's that you thought you had the answers
2
Well, that depends. Coastal areas are going to be inundated with habitat soon for small fish as houses become destroyed, even if a metre is reclaimed that is quite a bit of land globally. As cities become destroyed I can see people living in high rises without power fishing below them and if it gets to that stage you could kiss goodbye a lot of ports and roads.

At 5c it is supposed to take 2000 years for all the ice to melt, the battle might go on a bit longer, I think when some people were born who are alive today it was less than a millimetre per year, 22-23 was 8.1 millimetres, a 800% increase is ok when the figures are small, wonder how long it will take before it's 100 millimetres/10 centimetres per year. They say on average for every 2.5 centimetres up it is supposed to come in 2.5 metres.

@thekingofkingsrp Oh funny, you still think there is enough resources for everyone to have 300 mile range vehicles, like that's the worst you can imagine.
1
@AmyKozerski 145,000 barrels per day of diesel, twice that for petrol and the same for gas, 750,000 barrels a day just for those three not to be burnt and sitting around forever, then the space and the drums to store it in, forever, with over a million barrels used per day globally how much of it do you want to use and then what percentage do you want to store? Is there any logic to your comment that means you know the reality of what we are discussing? Add ; When people get nail polish or make up, should diesel be stored because of this?
1
@flecx9767 Why do you assume it's unrealistic, just saying your opinion on the internet doesn't really cover the logic of the situation as you seem to be ignoring feedback loops and I wonder why an Austrian would be illogical for?
1
@thekingofkingsrp Absolutely hilarious that you think putting everyone in apartments and vehicles with a 500 klm range is a bad thing or the worst that you can imagine. If the state takes care of food, shelter and medical care, for everybody and if everybody doesn't have access to that then they are failing in what we give them power to do. If the state offered these things, for free, because as a percentage of overall emissions it would be around 10%, this would not only increase well being of everybody, it would make that style of living sustainable. Of course it would mean you and everybody has to stop working jobs that do nothing and we would have to take profit out of the reasons we do things but these things could be offered, for free reduce overall emissions by a large percentage and get people more free time, yet here you are complaining about worldwide well being being raised, why? So you can fill up faster when you travel long distances and a bigger house? I mean is that it, that the whole world as we know it, should die over? Don't you think that's just a teensy weensy bit selfish?

@AmyKozerski Oh Ok, a barrel of oil is like a baby, if you want a part of the baby you have to take the whole thing. Oil is a substance and refining oil is done with heat, off comes the things like gas, petrol, diesel first, at the bottom is asphalt and all the 6000 products are between gas and asphalt. Let's say the part you want is item 453 in all those products, it can't be got without oil as a whole. If you remove all the oil related products from your life, clothing etc, all of them come with the corresponding amount of about 45 litres of diesel per barrel
1
@AmyKozerski Gee, I thought the comment to you was patient and explaining the situation, sorry you got this reaction. I am only telling you the truth. If you mean my comment to someone else that's not for you to defend. From my point of view it seems a lot of people have the answers yet don't seem to understand the problem. The issue is your whole life depends on oil and that is running out, all money is valued on the energy we can buy, soon we won't be able to and we can't use what oil we have otherwise we push the earth into a hothouse earth where the last time the earth went to the temps we are going too, 86% of all species died out, so forgive me if I sound cranky.

@TheFlyingSailorYT Mass transit supports jobs, money is a ticket to energy that can't be used. Better off to get rid of having to travel and food come to cities and people can walk. Imagine living in the 1800's, without jobs what need would we have for mass transport if that energy could go into wind turbines or batteries?

@TwilightMysts Your belief that other people have to have a viable replacement is where you will be let down the most. You are asking for something that replaces what we didn't make in the first place, soon you will have no choice in doing without the things society has been used to for 80 years. It's not a problem with save the world, it's a problem that you expect anything else to do exactly the same thing, we didn't invent oil and we aren't paying the external costs of it and currently people are being killed so you can access it, and then you want a viable replacement before reducing your consumption, it a problem with the world that everything we base our lives on is soon to be gone or we can't use all that we have, not a belief of saving it, the problem is we they have to save you from yourselves because the world isn't doing it willingly.

@SigFigNewton All large business get tax breaks but here's the kicker you are the customer so you benefit. There is no replacement to oil, it gives is the 6000 products our lives depend on. You can't replace oil in your own life, I totally disagree it's funding, even the asphalt to get things to you comes from the same barrel as nylon and there is no feedstock to replace these, considering we didn't produce this. If you think there are choices for all the things we get, present them, half the nitrogen in the world diet comes from natural gas and of all the energy we use solar and wind haven't kept up with demand. We can't fund something more energy dense than something we didn't create, just because we have money to throw at it, because we want it.
1
@SigFigNewton You seem to be misunderstanding, 6000 products come from something we didn't create, now somehow you think we can create a product that will replace all of them and somehow, cleaner? You're saying as long as we throw money at it then something will be invented out of thin air, that's impossible, so what do you do instead is the question everybody would like answered. If diesel comes from the same barrel as asphalt and plastic, we have to take it all or stop using it completely because if we want diesel asphalt still exists. This isn't about subsidies or investment, this is about the inability to find a replacement that will do all the things oil does.
1
@SigFigNewton It's the go without those products AND climate issues after we burn them all that will probably happen, All countries, will be affected but there is no chance to create alternatives for all of them as there is no feedstock. When all countries have people moving inland what building materials energy etc will we use, all very scary for what will happen over the next few hundred years.

@quickmythril2398 because of the dramatic change as shown by the vertical line in temperature there is nothing else that it could be with humnas being aware of it. A tank of diesel has the same amount of energy as around 3 months of my total electrical energy with the air con going 24-7, a huge amount of energy we emit along witht he co2 that traps radiant heat, scientists proved this over a hundred years ago, why don't you prove that it is for another reason because if you can show a natural way that means 1000 times faster change isn't CO2, the you will have changed the world, so if you can prove that, I and the rest of the world, are waiting.

@Greg-Horne Not sure why people have to add their personal experiences about one place in time like it means anything...good for you then, I will tell the people in Valencia to not worry about their oranges anymore.

@r0bt93 What a shame we need more than food replaced, the 75% of the land we use we don't put any sprays on, don't irrigate and don't plow, a much cleaner system than vegan that needs fossil fuels to survive and I say this as an ex vegan, a much worse system overall than something that is not much different to a wild anaimal. If we still want toilet paper held together then gelatine needs a replacement, same as fats in plastics like this device, wool, leather, dairy, Unless we can have a grown replacement for all that we get and cows are mostly carbon neutral than you're not freeing any land up if the same stocking rate in animals is going to occupy the same non arable land, Veganism is supposed to be a complete replacement to work, not less than half the animals and say we are done, problem solved.

@fanOfMinecraft-UAs_channel Wetlands and rice paddies are supposed to double their methane output on a warming planet. In a tank of diesel is the same amount of energy as 3.2 months of my electrical energy over summer with the air con going 24-7, if somebody uses a tank a week for a year that is equal to 17 years of my electrical energy. None of the 3 ways included changing our ways?
1
@fanOfMinecraft-UAs_channel It's like a fairytale, at our current rate it will take 10,000 years for the carbon to come out naturally and we are still increasing the amount we put in and then you use words like "lastly". Unless you understand the problem how can you have the answers but why does the earth need to slowly cool down, we are speeding up 1000 times faster than normal and we haven't slowed that or come close to reversing it.

@JBaxter-pi8oj " As I'd mentioned, there are collectives in the UK who are working on a smaller scale so they can produce better and more sustainable products" Name one otherwise this is pie in the sky talking about fairytales, isn't it? What happens commonly is people say " oh we can just invent a replacement" without knowing anything of the products or the industry and I was wondering which side you fell on?
1
@davebrown6552 What would you say about the particulate shading plants where tree rings are tighter so less wood overall, that leaves have becomes smaller to combat heat, that tropical fish are moving north and south and do you deny ice is melting and temperature change is happening faster than any time in history?

@JBaxter-pi8oj Does it hurt to have your head so far up your own...? " If only you would use your talents for driving humanity towards a better future instead of tearing down anyone and everyone who questions the status quo" Is such a wimpy reply to the question I asked you. I asked you for proof of your own words and now suddenly I am tearing you down? I mean what really gets me is people have wishy washy words like they have some sort of clue but in all reality they are using it as an upbeat writing exercise, at best. Let me explain, the best thing big tobacco could do to slow down the decline in sales was to create doubt, your offering does exactly that, your comment that you don't back up, has no basis in reality and now because I think you don't know what you are talking about I say so and somehow, it's my fault. Saying that I should use these talents for a better world is exactly what I am doing by asking for the basis of conversation to be based in truth, not regurgitated nonsense, that slows down change, cheers.
