Let's all calm down and get things into perspective
  • The Earth is approx 4.543 billion years old (4,543,000,000 years)
  • Humans first appeared between 2 and 6 million years ago (2,000,000 - 6,000,000)
  • These early humans used basic stone tools for cutting vegetation and some animal meats. It wasn't until 800,000 years ago that humans could make fire, which expanded their meat diet.
  • Modern humans (homo sapiens with brain capacity larger or as large as we have today) evolved around 200,000 years ago. The 'rapid' expansion of brain development happened over a period of approx half a million years.
  • It was roughly 12,000 ago that humans learned to control how certain vegetation grew (for food), eventually leading to farming and the herding of animals.
  • The industrial age began at about c.1750, less than 300 years ago. This is the year at which the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has decided that human activity began increasing the average global temperature due to co2 emissions.
  • Since 1750, global temperature has increased approx 1°. The IPCC also says that an increase between 1.5° and 2.0° from the pre-industrial age (before 1750) will be catastrophic for humans and the planet as a whole.
  • The IPCC is the global voice that determine most government policy making on climate change and net zero targets.

Flawed nonsense
The year that the IPCC use as the standard to measure by, 1750, was the end of the coldest period in the past 12,000 years. There were 100's of years of freezing temperatures worldwide prior to this during a climatic event known as the Little Ice Age. This cold snap lasted between c.1300 and c.1750 (some variation depending on geographical location). In Europe, the most extreme temperatures occurred between 1650-1750, which also coincides with a period of low solar activity. This cold period caused extreme weather events all over the world.

This abnormally cold temperature ended at the time the IPCC is using as a marking point, so of course the planet is getting warmer. The suggestion that co2 emissions caused by human activity is making the planet hotter is retarded.

The IPCC ignores pre-industrial temperature, it ignores the effect that solar radiation cycles have, it ignores the unique influence that the moon has on tidal fluctuations and El Nino.

It ignores the fact that doubling the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere will increase green vegetation growth by 4 fold.

It ignores the importance of a temperate climate, and that human development and rapid brain expansion happened when the planet was 3° warmer than it is today.

And most importantly, the IPCC ignores the fact that the planet has been doing this shit for billions of years, and will continue to do it for billions more.

I go to the forest in the summer it's like a damn rainforest. I get to the city it's hot. Flagstaff worker here w temporary residence in Bellemont and not that weather bothers me or whatever it's called now by muh sciencers.
 
Well it might sound a bit selfish but I just want to use plastic stuff again and stop having restrictions and protocols put on everything we all do in life because of all this shit. The way I see it, if the Earth is going to implode or melt or some shit, it's not happening during my lifetime so sorry to folks that are born after I'm dead but that's not my problem cos I'll be dead so fuck'em .
 
So, what I gather from your assertations is that the set point that the IPCC has chosen is "too cold" and an anomaly for the earth, and we should welcome a bit of global warming, or even a lot - is that right?

Not really too cold, but it's the coldest point of the last few thousand years and they've set this as a benchmark.
Their website doesn't mention a single date prior to 1750, there's no data used or considered before then.
So the fact that we're still thawing out from the Little Ice Age isn't factored into their models.

I forgot to add their site as a reference, it's found at https://www.ipcc.ch/

And yes, 2 or 3 degrees warmer is nothing to worry about, it might even be better for us.
It's the next cycle of cooling we need to worry about, there's probably another ice age baked in for the future, and the last one almost wiped us out.
 
Yes, looking at historical climate graphs is a fairly simplistic way of looking at the future climate issue though.

The main issue is the carbon cycle, and how our impact on the planet is unsustainable in that regard.
 
We can absolutely cause changes to the weather on a local level, I'm not sure we have the power to really affect the entire globe but simply putting enough people and buildings and pavement and industry in one place will definitely raise the temperature of a location. It's the reason why Phoenix and Las Vegas don't cool off at night in the summer the way they did 40-50 years ago.
 
All you need to check out is 'AMOC Decline' in your search engine. Its the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation which is expected to slow and stop within the next few years. This is the start of the next ice age...... has nothing to do with climate change and helps explains the current climate

Yet this is never mentioned on MSM or other shitty news outlets, but it is real - naturally real

Like if you research it and agree https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39810-w

I can't stand the stupid STUPID paper straws. They really.RUIN my drinks. 😤😤
 
my theory is there's simply too many people...like a too full room of people that gets hot and stuffy
I agree too many people thus too much development, which means natural areas are cleared out to make way for whatever bullshit shopping area. Joni Mitchell wrote a song all about it, but the Counting Crows guy did it better. Jk they're both awful and why do white people wear dreads it's fucking gross.
