global warming

An interesting film short. n2W8dKdgGhc The full length film is out soon. Here is the trailer for the full film: K3-V1j-zMZw Much of what has been seen above has been discussed here before on multiple threads. But until now I hadn't seen it put together by anyone but me. So I would like to...

Fact-check, please. Sounds good though. This is by the World Economic Forum reporting the International Energy Agency's Sustainable Recovery Plan. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/sustainable-green-recovery-economy-boost-coronavirus/ Targeted policies and investment in renewables and...

Those that are on YouTube might have seen this already, but if you haven't, let me tell you about #TeamTrees. So MrBeast, a YouTube creator hit 20 million subs a short while back, and as a way to celebrate he and Mark Rober have partnered with a huge number of other creators to form TeamTrees...

Iceland on Sunday honoured the passing of Okjokull, its first glacier lost to climate change, as scientists warn that some 400 others on the subarctic island risk the same fate. As the world recently marked the warmest July ever on record, a bronze plaque was mounted on a bare rock in a ceremony...

I don't know enough about climate change to take a personal position on whether we have global warming or not. People keep telling me "97% of scientists say there is global warming that's caused by humans." Where did this 97% figure come from? I was recently told that the past two years have...

AOC rolled out her Green New Deal today: Sounds wonderful, but the devil is in the details. For starters, the GND hand-waves away any questions about funding: And in case that isn't specific enough: The document is not all smoke and mirrors; only 90%. Getting down to specifics, they...

Is there a technically viable and economically advantageous solution to Climate Change and what is preventing its implementation?

With the (mostly) undisputed threat of Global Warming causing temperatures to rise by at least 2° and the unwillingness of countries to make strong decisions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ... ... would you support technological methods to reduce Global Warming without solving the CO2...

Its cold in much of the USA, therefore global warming is fake. Haven't you heard? Just in case: yes that was sarcasm, but I've heard it said in earnest a few times this year already. This is a continuation of the Global warming discussion IV thread.

"The $696 billion bill, which sets up the military’s 2018 fiscal year budget, passed by a vote of 344-81." "The surprising section calls global warming “a direct threat to the national security” and instructs the Pentagon to create a report on how climate change could affect the military. It...

Very disturbing article here that argues that measures against climate change are too little too late and the repercussions of climate change have been severely understated. It's a long article that goes into -Die-off -Food security -War -Air quality -Water security Etc If this is only half...

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/11/15/noam-chomsky-gop-most-dangerous-organization-world-history.html I can't see how he's entirely wrong. Not even ISIS has the power to make the entire globe less inhabitable.

Here is a reprint of a post I made on the website Conservation is Conservatism. On Freeman Dyson's thoughts about global warming. Hope you all enjoy it. As a general rule of thumb I largely agree with your debunking of Dyson. AGW most certainly is a serious threat. However, maybe even...

The largest coal company in the states has filed for bankruptcy. Coal prices, along with oil, have plummeted. From a power station perspective and from the consumer perspective, it seems like this would increase demand and be a net bad thing from an environmental perspective but paradoxically...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/11/23/prince-charles-syria-climate-change/76248500/ Earlier this week Bernie Sanders said there is a direct link between terrorism and climate change. This article has Prince Charles claiming a direct link between climate change and the war in...

Since good old Huckabee didn't have his own thread in the new sub-forum, and the other threads on him in general USA politics weren't on this topic, I figured I'd start one for him here. Granted, I don't expect him to stay long in the primaries. He is just too far down the list in the clown car...

It's commendable that the Pope enters the AGW debate, but sad that he also seems to ignore the most fundamental reason of all, for which the Catholic church has major responsibility. Namely that fossil fuels are not the primary problem, but population growth is. There are not enough resources...

This thread is continued from here. A few years ago I stumbled across this forum (technically JREF's back then) in my search for knowledge and to satisfy my curiosity. I was one of those 'fence sitters' where I wasn't sure what to believe. Since then, I have moved closer to town to shorten...

http://earthsky.org/earth/scientists-discover-vast-methane-plumes-escaping-from-arctic-seafloor Posted (mostly) without comment, but if I understand the concept of Feedback Loops right, I take it we're past the point of no return?:(

I've followed the primary global warming threads on and off for a while, and must say that while it's a very interesting debate going on, it doesn't offer many opportunities to touch on the issue that concerns me the most. I want to start a discussion on what the average person can do about...

Continued from here. Nothing wrong with the paper it’s your understanding that is lacking. In fact it says pretty much the opposite of what you seem to think it does. It’s arguing against there being any change in the long term trend. Curious statement, since the paper you base this on...

This thread is a continuation of the original Global Warming discussion. That thread may be found here. Thank you. You're completely wrong in claiming that there was a negative forcing from the solar factor. Why are you assuming that when its output was still greater than its average over...

ObU7awpJctQ 1. Props to Nye for not laughing out loud to such an amazingly ignorant question. No way I could have kept it together. 2. Maybe CNN should tilt the table a bit more towards "brains" instead of "beauty" when it comes to grading anchor applicants. 3. More evidence of the dumbing...

:jaw-dropp :jaw-dropp :jaw-dropp :jaw-dropp :jaw-dropp hC3VTgIPoGU The money shot is at the end when they overlay a map of lower manhattan on the video and run it on a time-lapse (75 Minute) speed. What a devastating video. Something's happening and it ain't good.

Would a CO2 label on products be a good idea? should it be mandated to label the CO2 emissions that went into the production and transport etc of a product? So people are able to make an informed decision in buying a product. sometimes products get transported around alot and the consumers is...

Slashdot posted a Reuters article indicating that Germay has set a record as far as solar power production, generating nearly 50% of it's daytime needs last weekend by solar alone: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/05/26/us-climate-germany-solar-idUKBRE84P0FI20120526 Not that this solves all...

This Lamp Absorbs 150 Times More CO2 than a Tree By Jess Zimmerman http://grist.org/list/this-lamp-absorbs-more-co2-than-a-tree/ We'll see. :cool:

When scientists give information and warnings based on that information, only to have politics disagrees, there seems to be a pattern: Scientists say, "We believe this is true, and suggest that unless we take some sort of action, bad things will happen" Politicians and people with vested...

Collapse of Antarctic Ice Sheet Linked to Ancient 'Mega Flood' OK, so that's roughly 6.5 feet every 50 years ... a little more than a foot every decade, and I'm assuming they don't know if the rise was evenly distributed or sporadic. Fascinating stuff.

Rick Santorum, zealous promoter of religious dogma, thinks he sees "dogma" in the world of science, and he doesn't like it. The Elephant in the Room: Challenging science dogma So he starts by claiming that the scientific consensus regarding evolution and global warming has become "an...
