  1. Joke is on you, Logan. The ocean outgasses CO2 as it warms up. Besides that, CO2 in the ocean can't be causing your beloved climate change global warming. Show me actual data about CO2 concentration at many points in the ocean

  2. What are you trying to solve? It's not clear to me that there is an actual problem with the climate at the moment. We were probably closer to the truth in the 70s when we feared the next ice age. Don't get me wrong, humans got some problems with environmentalism, like monocropping, glyphosphate, land use, etc etc ... CO2 is not likely a problem. Tippinging points likely cause a correction back to the normal state of the earth, which seriously more icy cold than anything. Besides, look at CO2 atmosphere concentrations. Everytime they get high.... An ice age comes and they drop. It's almost as if the CO2 concentration causes the ice age to occur.

  3. Your soil was hydrophobic because it had waxy build up. Dig your clay a few more inches down.

  4. ​ @mr-boo I understand the science and largely disagree with the anthropogenic CO2 cause for climate catastrophe. Mostly, I think the great ball of nuclear fire is the driver of climate, in addition to urban heat islands causing a minor role. I see so many headlines about catastrophic consequences, but then see RPC 8.5 senario simulation cited as the cause for alarm; we are no where near that kind of carbon output. Also, CO2 concentration has increased about 50% in the last 200 years and heat trapping ability of GHG is known to be logarithmic. We would need to dump twice as much CO2 into the air... to get half as much warming. So, it really looks like CO2 is probably not the cause.

  5.  @strat5395  yeah with 50% more oxygen, most spiders and insects grow to the size of midsized dogs. Let's keep oxygen around 21%... We could maybe do a little more... But... No more than 25% please...

  6. Not when they warm up.

  7. The models are wrong, really? You don't say.

  8. Why would a cooler ocean stop CO2 uptake? Thats just dumb.

  9. Notice how they cherry pick the data from selected prediction maps?

  10. Wow. This is so dumb.
    2
  11. So.... We have only been measuring the AMOC directly for 20 years? Doesn't seem long enough to make any conclusions...

  12. You have convinced me, it's not a climate change problem, it's a drain problem.

  13. This one time, huge volcanic eruptions occured that covered huge swaths of the continents. Tremendous amounts of heat and GHGs were released. There was no tipping point then, pretty sure the climate recovered.

  14.  @MonkeyChessify  current rate of CO2 addition is unheard of? Really? You're wrong about that, there were basalt floods 5 ish million years ago that put tremendous amounts of CO2 into the air. It covered huge parts of the Pacific northwest, and it sorta erupted for a few thousand years. You're not very well versed in the data.

  15.  @nancythecat1079  and that's because the nightmare scenario gets clicks.

  16.  @satanicmicrochipv5656  where are you getting your data from? There's evidence that the medieval warm period was much warmer than it is now, and don't forget the Roman climate optimum. There was also a little ice age where the Thames froze over in winter. Climate seems to vary quite a bit with or without human help. It boggles my mind why people just forget we actually HAVE some records of what the climate was like... And turns out, cold is bad, warm is good.

  17. Coral grows better and faster in warmer waters.

  18. A rainstorm with even 5% more rain in it doesn't matter too much. If these whiplash floods events have happened many many times before, how are humans responsible?

  19.  @noblefir9106  yes but I think that 99.9% of the damage is done by the first 93% of the water. The researchers were really clear, the water can only drain so fast...

  20. Wow. Such wrongness. There is no evidence of increased extreme weather events. Also, certain extreme weather events, such as tornadoes, would become less frequent if there WERE climate change. In the case if tornadoes, large temperature differential from cold northern air and warm southern air collide. If the north is really that much warmer, tornadoes would be less strong or not form at all.

  21. Dr. John Christy said there is no evidence of any trends plus or minus in the last 35 years.

  22. ​ @TheHonestPeanut  it's a meme. The true believer in existential climate catastrophe tends to be a fairly well paid liberal with a college degree. You know a person with "first-world problems". A person that needs to validate their existence by demonizing stuff that poor people do to get by. Hope that 'splains it for ya.

  23. If CO2 were causing global warming, we would see more warming at the equator as there is just more CO2 at the equator. The idea that the polar regions are warming 4x faster really makes no sense according to the CO2 causes catastrophic warming.

  24. Where are the catastrophic weather events? There's nothing going on that isn't expected or that happened before in the climate record. That includes the droughts in California and the heat dome in the upper midwest.

  25.  @ryancox5097  coward. Stand up straight with your shoulder back, son. There is no existential threat from the climate. The only thing you really have to fear is fear itself. There are many respected scientists that do not agree with this alarmist bullshit. Read Apocalypse Never by Michael shellenberger or see what Bjørn Lomborg has to say. The founder of Greenpeace also has stuff to say...

  26. RCP stands for representative concentration pathway.

  27. The IPCC expressed low confidence that climate change has increased the frequency and severity of extreme weather events.

  28. No, I wanted to see where you are getting your data on the extremes that are being set. Mostly, people just SAY something like "hottest summer EVAR" but summer of 1936 was pretty far up there.

  29. 1.4 inches per decade? Really? Horseshit. Look at old photos, sea level hasn't changed in over 50 years.

  30. ​@@winston6369satellite data has shown this to be a fact, especially in more arid regions. This was acknowledged several times in the IPCC. Are you denying the science?

  31. Tidal flooding has become four times more common because the sun moon and earth align the right way more often. Has nothing to do with sea level or the thwaits glacier. We arent stupid, pbs.

  32. Well warming oceans release CO2. Now we know where the CO2 is really coming from, its not humans, its completely natural.

  33. I got some data from Dr. John Christy. He said there's no evidence for catastrophic global warming.

  34. You're a shitty scientist then. You're not following the data, rather you have fallen for the alarmist propaganda

  35.  @MonkeyChessify  show evidence of accelerating climate change. I will then show you a flat earth. The data does not support any acceleration of extreme weather events, nor does it support that a 1 or 2 degree warmer world will cause much a change of anything While you're at it, why don't you suggest an optimal CO2 level and earth temperature. I think 2 or 3 degrees warmer plus another 500 ppm CO2 would be delightful.

  36.  @climeaware4814  Australia has always been a land of extremes, floods and droughts. Your data set is kinda junk though, no one reports floods where no one lives. In 1900, no one really lived in a lot of the places they do now. Furthermore, you seem to forget that climate change is happening 4x faster in the Arctic latitudes, at least according to another numbnuts "climate scientist"

  37.  @averteddisasterbarely2339  sure. That's what insurance is for.

  38.  @maiyamay_  I think you are a paid liar and probably unaware of the bullshit your script is written from

  39.  @paulwolinsky1538  because the best minds also know when the politicians are manufacturing a disaster to gain control of the energy sector.

  40. @Paul Wolinsky  No, we do care about climate change. We just know our physics and we know when people are presenting biased data sets, much like the data in this video. Selected predictions from specific models presented as factual information, predictive models that generally fail to predict anything, so-called "experts" on a video call, and a manufactured conclusion you are led to. I think we scientists colloquially refer to this data as "complete bullshit."

  41. RCP 8.5 was NOT created as the business as usual case. It was an upper limit to reasonable co2 additions to the atmosphere. Meaning that being over that would be stupid.

  42. Wait, there was a huge storm back in the 70s called the Cleveland Super bomb. It looked like a hurricane formed over land, the eye was centered on Cleveland.

  43. How do you measure the strength of the Jetstream? Do you have data that you could share?

  44. Omg. There are no tipping points. Stop being stupid.

  45. Bleached coral is not DEAD. Coral has resident algae that gives 'em color. Sometimes the conditions aren't great for algae, so that part goes DORMANT. once conditions change, the corals get their hyper colors and "unbleach". Coral bleaching alarming is analogous to leaves falling off in winter. Would you get worried about climate change if the leaves fell off the trees in autumn? Probably not.
