If GHG emissions ended now, temperatures would continue rising because of lag time. Emissions ain't endin', but increasing...& temps will accelerate their rise. "old sick silly sleepy sleazy AGW denier liar whiner gasguzlr & gazmuflr" just bluffs its way through its gush.

Mankind contribution to the 3.62% total CO2 is anywhere from 3-6%, depending on what study you believe. I am unable to find a 30% claim that man creates 30% of all atmospheric CO2. So what we are left with is 3-6% of the 3.8% total CO2....equals anywhere from 11 hundredths of a percent to 22 hundredths of a percent. Not much to freak out over.

I have an idea for a wind power system that would produce electricity cheaper than coal but that would not stop the panic as the panic is not based on reality.

To stop the panic we need a law that says that if you call something scince and lie then you go to jail. Or if you pressurise somebody to do so you also go to jail. That would sort it.

Arctic methane emissions are climbing.... because of high Arctic temperatures. From Sam Carana:In December 2016, it was 6.58°C (11.84°F) warmer from latitude 83°N to the North Pole compared 1951-1980... When comparing the current temperature to years such as 1900 or 1750... 2016, the global temperature was well above....1.5°C (2.7°F)...

To reply to the original question:

1. I would force every country to invest / build Thorium nuclear reactors and switch the planet to 100% nuclear generated power.
2. I would take over the Sahara Dessert and build a Solar furnace powered Lithium Hydride CO2 extraction System.
a. If I used half the area of the Sahara I should be able to get the Global CO2 levels down to pre-industrial age levels in 10 years.
b. By product of the extraction process will be carbon Nano Tubes that we can then use to build a space elevator!

So that is what I would do with unlimited power and resources; trouble is what happens to the climate when we get back to those Pre-industrial age levels? Does the ice age kick in straight away or will it take a couple of years.

Thank you for the honest answers. I'm not sure about the space elevator, but nuclear is something both sides can have a good discussion about. Why have we not built any nuclear power plants in the last ~25 years? Any one from the left against them? Why?

I'd like to see fossil fuels taxed at source, at a level sufficient to substantially reduce their attractiveness. I'd then use this income to reduce or eliminate taxes on labour (income tax) and goods (sales tax). Then I'd leave the market to do its thing.

I'd anticipate that the market response to a high carbon tax would probably a mixture of nuclear plants and gas-backed wind and solar plants, together with advances in energy storage and demand management technologies. Another market response would be a surge in energy-saving techniques such as insulation, heat pumps and the like, as well as smaller, more efficient cars.

Note that I'm not in favour of banning anything, merely of demanding a price consistent with negative externalities. Hence fossil fuels will then still be available, but will only be worth using where they are absolutely necessary, or where folk are prepared to pay for the privilege.

The thing is, was already have a system to determine what actually constitutes real science. It's called peer review. While no system can possibly guarantee that every scientific paper is correct, it is, at least a first line of defence against BS. At a minimum, we can say that any information that cannot be traced back to a peer-reviewed paper should be treated with considerable caution.

Do this, and you'll find that, no, there isn't large amounts of BS on both sides. The BS is almost entirely from the denial side. The idea that there is any significant disagreement amongst the vast majority of climate scientists on the fundamentals of AGW is entirely a political construct, funded and maintained by those who stand to lose out from any moves away from fossil fuels.

There are more than two sides.

My side, for example, is the purely science side and it has never been mistaken.

I suggest my side determine who the science liars are since my side can spot them the moment they try to explain "greenhouse effect" or when they conflate thermal radiation with thermal convection.

In fact, I do it already. It's too easy.

Oh, and Surface Detail is about #48 on the science liar's list.

I am absolutely genuine in wanting an honest discussion.

A bit about myself; I have been pretty clear about myself. I did not graduate high school so with no diploma I learned quick to survive on common sense and hard work. Later, I learned to thrive on it. With no formal education, I obviously don't have the science back round that many of you do. But so so often I can spot hooey with common sense. It's funny to me when someone is so smart and educated but they have no idea how to properly apply their knowledge. Prime example was the post today about melting ice and trying to apply physics to the forward speed of melted water. This person estimated the speed would have to be around mach 1. Wow!

Politics: I have never supported a democrat in my life and likely never will. I believe the founders of the greatest and most powerful nation in the world had unbelievable vision, and the democrat party (liberals) have no interest in keeping the wish of our forefathers for limited gov, personal freedom, and basic rugged individualism. I am a survivor of my own stupidity, but damn it, I never took the gov hand out. If I had accepted that welfare check I'd still be on it today. Today, without the gov welfare, and without the gov education, I am in the top 10% of wage earners in good old USA. So you see I think the Dems just suck because they want 25-40% of my sweat, blood and tears to give away to some blockhead sittin on his drunk ass in his trailer and not working. The Dems are enablers and they are just buying votes and they know it. Wow, didn't mean to go on that much of a rant.

Global warming and weather.
I may not have the formal education, but I can read and research just fine. One thing I understand and do have in depth knowledge of is weather. It has always been a passion of mine and I used to go storm chasing on my bicycle. Pretty dumb! Anyway, I used to think maybe this global warming thing had some teeth to it. But then every time I turn on the TV I hear some nut blaming some weather event on GW. I would hear things that were just physically impossible, from some reporter who had likely been spoon fed from another that was lying or popping methane for recycling.

Yes, I'd like an honest conversation. But even here on this website, someone will post a link about the global warming crisis. I go to the site and the first thing I see is pictures of flooded cars or a tornado ravaged town. I know there is no need to read that article. It's propaganda by pictures. They may or may not directly blamed AGW, but they definitely want you to. It's misleading at best....and way too many ignorant fall for it. Great, it's just more democrat votes. I have yet to find a study that can directly link, with indisputable evidence, AGW to floods and drought. Oh, go ahead, send me all your links. Read them closely.
"studies suggest"
"scientist research points to"
"models show that future''.....
"research suggests"
"if we don't "X" then we could "Z" "
"could potentially be"
And then some moron is off and running with "new study shows", and before ya know it it's fact that I'm supposed to bend over and believe. NO! I've had enough Kool-Aid

I just want facts, I don't care about dumb theories. I've read them all. If this globe is actually warming to our doomsday, then prove that first until no "scientist" on earth disagrees. Then prove that we can actually do something meaningful about it and I'll be on board. I'm an outdoors man. I love bow hunting and fishing and just being out in it. I want pollution and dirty water just as much as the next guy. So, I still have an open mind about this AGW thing, but the more research I do, the more I'm convinced that it is something that was once genuinely feared by many, but now it's being promoted by a few.

This is an illogical attitude. Nobody can prove that future events will certainly happen. There are no facts about the future, just probabilities, and a rational person behaves accordingly.

Or are you a regular Russian Roulette player? After all nobody can prove that the bullet is in the firing chamber; there's just a 1 in 6 chance. So, following your logic, you'd be quite happy to hold the gun to your head for a couple of bucks.

That's another logic glitch. The first signs of AGW are becoming apparent today, but we're mostly talking about the future.

The smoke is there in form of incipient rising temperatures, rising seas and diminishing ice cover. Granted, it's not a problem yet, but simply choosing to ignore these warning signs is, again, not rational behaviour.

"Google it yourself" has never been a valid way to back up a point. How about a link or reference to one of these many studies?

It's thought that GW makes storms more powerful by raising the temperature of the surface of the ocean, thus making more energy available to them.

For my part, I care nothing for anyone's credentials and I never reveal mine. That's because I only want to discuss science. If there is some science you don't know I'll be happy to teach you.

What always fascinates me is how Global Warming worshipers will desperately rush to claim that science does not apply wherever their Global Warming religion is concerned.

Let me back up a step. You might not be aware that none of the Global Warming and none of the Climate Change religions are supported by any science whatsoever and that, in fact, science runs counter to their beliefs.

I'd be happy to walk you through it. Surface Detail is a prime science denier who feels the need to fall on his credibility sword in defense of his faith.

It all starts with this law: "greenhouse effect" cannot be falsifiably expressed without violating physics.

I'm sure we can get Surface Detail to jump in here and fail miserably to falsifiably express "greenhouse effect" without violating physics.

The next time you are talking to a warmizombie, ask him to provide the Global Warming equation or the Climate constant.

So, Surface Detail, are you in? Can we count on you to attempt to falsifiably express "greenhouse effect" without violating physics?

I once planned to program up a "climate predictor" program, make a chitload of money and win the Nobel Prize ... until I started asking fellow climate change believers how I could get the "climate science" model so I could program it. They instantly turned into mindless, glazed-eyed zombies who hissed "denier!" I couldn't reason with them; I couldn't convince them that I just needed the science. They just became hateful chitteads.

It became clear very quickly that there wasn't any "climate" science. I then decided to apply standard science to the matter and found that Global Warming is crap that runs counter to physics. The best way to work through the myriad logic rabbit holes dug by warmizombies is start by asking for a falsifiable statement of "greenhouse effect" that doesn't violate physics. You will never get one.

Good post, thank you. My skepticism actually comes from my understanding of local weather. How can warming be blamed for weather events and the two not be talked about in the same discussion/debate? If you're going to tell me one efects the other, you better understand the other! It is pretty obvious for me when some lib gets on the tv and spews absolute BS on how the warmer globe created the local weather situation. The warming explanation almost always flies in the face of what actually happened. I don't need to have a damn degree to call BS.

Surface Detail and I have a dialog going on another thread...it was left this morning, I had to run. I will have some question for her tonight. I'm sorry, is Surface Detail a him? I think cleaning lady with that name.

Two things about this line here:

1. I am normally dubious about people who adopt the label "skeptic" (I often refer to them as "climate lemmings"). In almost every case they aren't skeptical of any of the WACKY Global Warming religious dogma. They worship the same tenets of the Global Warming religion as the warmizombies and only differ in their rejection of ultimate catastrophic planetary doom fear-mongering. Otherwise they are on religiously devoted to the sacrament of "greenhouse effect" which they see as a good thing, i.e. the Climate goddess is cradling the earth in gentle warmth to enhance the quality of life of humanity. Warmizombies, by contrast, view humanity as inherently vile rapists of the Climate goddess who, in turn, has no other recourse than to cause extreme weather events in self defense. Of course, in the warmizombie cult, those who don't rape Climate are naturally holier than thou, and thus are better than you, because you must be too stupid to understand "The Science."

2. You have already lost if you allow weather to enter the conversation. Weather is observable, measurable and verifiable. Climate is a word in the dictionary and is not defined in science. Of course a "global climate" has powerful meaning to warmizombies and climate lemmings alike ... but they just don't bother to question it, or even to think about it.

It is a contradiction in terms. "Climate" just means "local conditions." Global is the logical opposite of "local." You can't have a global local condition. The earth has millions of climates. Ask any warmizombie or climate lemming what the average of all the earth's climates looks like. Is it dry and arid flood? This fog but sunny and clear? A sweltering freeze? Clearly none of them have thought this through.

If you start trying to use weather as the basis for your counterarguments you will quickly be dismissed with a "talk to the hand, Climate is not weather" followed with the obligatory insult to your intelligence "how are you so stupid that you don't know Climate from weather?"

Do you find it odd that warmer weather is blamed for floods (high precipitation), but when you cite instances of extreme drought (low precipitation) as obvious global cooling, warmizombies insist that warmer weather causes that as well ... and that record cold temperatures are also evidence of Global Warming?

Just ask any warmizombie if Global Warming increases precipitation or decreases it. They will smell the trap immediately and respond with "you can tell where it decreases precipitation because there is drought and you can tell where it increases precipitation because there are floods. Global Warming makes weather more EXTREME in such a way that it is always bad for humanity."

GasGuzzler wrote: I don't need to have a damn degree to call BS.

That is absolutely true, and very wise. Any eight-year-old who cites science is just as correct as the scientist that developed that science. You are just a few science models away from being able to swat any warmizombie's or climate lemming's argument aside, and they are basic. You don't need a damn degree.

Proper English grammar calls for the masculine pronoun when gender is not known, and this is an anonymous forum. If Surface Detail would prefer to be addressed in the feminine then that should be overtly requested.

In the meantime, look up the following terms (preferably anywhere but Wikipedia) and just read a paragraph or two on each one.

Law of Conservation of Energy
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Stefan-Boltzmann Law
Planck's Law

If you understand the basics of those then you will be insurmountable against the Global Warming undead.

This is the part that just hacks me off. How can climate not be weather? Climate is by definition the historical average of weather. So if you want to talk global climate change then it is only makes sense to talk GLOBAL weather. But the rot gut that that is spewed by the likes of CNN should be criminal when they blame LOCAL events on GLOBAL warming.

Thanks for the info, I'll do some learning later tonight.

You may wish to be wary about taking advice on science from someone who spent a 300-post thread doggedly insisting that Greenland is gaining ice at a rate that would require Amazonian levels of precipitation (and no melting or glacier flow), all based on his misunderstanding of a relatively simple scientific paper.
