Climate change and galactic Position?

I'm new here so I have not had time to read all posts yet. The question is why is it that no one yet has addressed this aspect of the topic . We are taught that the position of our planet in the solar system affects the planets climate, ( ie winter/summer ) So could you also apply the same to our galactic position?

Ice core samples and, organic matter brought up in polar regions show many changes in our climate Our solar system passes through the galactic plain every 13,000 years or so. Yet it seems that no one adds this data into the discussion . It would seem to me that if the records we now have of climate change were compared to our galactic position at the time of the change we could have a much clearer picture of this subject.

Now I should inform you all that I dropped out of H.S. twice in my senior year over credits that i received from a FLA. H.S. would not count towards my graduation .The last straw for me was when the school in OH. told me that a credit in introductory to physics I had from Fla. DID NOT COUNT as a science credit. At that point I decided that any paperwork issued by morons would be nothing to be proud of. lol

Well, looks like I fooled Geenery! Welcome fellow dropout.

Buckle up. Your about to learn more than high school could ever teach you.
I don't have the golden diploma either, and to be honest I'm damn proud of what I've accomplished without it. I own and operate my own business and my income is top 10% nationwide. I'd hire you today just because of your first post. It shows that you are unwilling to just drink the kool-aid and be spoon fed your morning muffin. You admit your shortcomings, think it through, and then ask, ready to learn. Perfect. Some of the more educated clowns on here...if they were fish they'd have mouth full of hooks. Let me tell you something, Al Gore is a horse turd hypocrite , but that dude can set a hook.
As far as galactic positioning? I'm not the guy to answer that one, but my instinct would say no possible effect on climate. Someone will be along shortly to tell me I'm wrong.....

By the way, do you think that temperatures are rising in your back yard? You still in Ohio?

Greenery still hasn't answered what he thinks is going on in his backyard in Michigan. These 9 graphs are from different reporting stations ~100 miles apart. You can't read the year but they're all 1880 through 2014. The 2 showing the most warming are in major metro areas, the Kalamazoo hospital and Ann Arbor Michigan. Greenery thinks we're all going to die a fiery death real soon. Why?

But on the other hand, people are already dying from the affects of Global Warming and subsequent Climate Change, which is burning people up and killing them outright from heat. So some people are actually dying a fiery death.

I am sure that we won't solve this problem, and am preparing for my own family's survival, by investing in a retreat that is off grid and away from other people. That way we [or whoever is left of my family] will have somewhere to go when things get rough. So you guys can categorize me as a Survivalist, who has given up hope on humanity solving this problem. As far as I am concerned, it is up to each individual to prepare his own way through this. Those who do nothing will suffer. Those who prepare might get killed also. But at least if you are trying to preserve your family, then you should be allowed to return to earth, as long as there are vehicles [bodies] available for your return. And as far as I can tell, those who do nothing to preserve their own family, will have no vehicle available for their return, and will not be allowed back.

Not real soon. All indications are that our average temperature is climbing at about 0.16C/decade. At that rate it will take quite a while to kill you off. No, my concern is that our planet will eventually become uninhabitable.

I'm not sure if other planets have warmed or not, but I am aware of the Denier talking point saying they have. That's intentional propaganda put out by the Church of AGW Denial. Their goal with propaganda like that is to create doubt in people's mind about whether humans are actually causing Climate Change. They want people to doubt that, because they want everyone to continue using their products like there's no tomorrow. Because they are getting rich, and as far as they are concerned, you can eat shit and die. They don't care about you, or anyone else. All they care about is their immediate family and money. But one thing is for sure, we are not affecting the other planet's temperature, whether people are causing the problem or not.

Right now our solar system is in the area that is the farthest point away from the center of the rotating mass of the galaxy.

The reason the equatorial region is warmer than the rest of the planet is because the sun's rays strike there at a 90 degree angle, heating a little more per square inch than everywhere else, where the sun's rays come in at a different angle. I don't think there is any friction involved, and I have no clue where we are located in the galaxy. I get this visual of roller skating when I was a kid, and being on the end of a whip, and going flying down the rink wide open after being whipped around like that. lol

The CO2 concentration is actually at a high point, according to the ice cores. And I like your idea for solving the problem with cannabis. Everyone should grow ten plants each year. And consume it all, including the stems and seeds. That sounds like a lot, but when you are trying to build a house with it, you will be begging your neighbors for their left over stalks. I can see us all, hanging out in bamboo looking cannabis huts.

But it would take too long to sequester that much CO2 with just growing plants. They will eventually store the excess CO2 back into the ground, but it will take thousands of years. And meanwhile our average temperature continues to rise about 0.016C. That will kill the planet in a few hundred years, if you figure that a 5 or 6 degree C rise from where we are now will wipe the world out. The only real solution is to completely stop producing CO2, except for breathing. And figure out how to sequester CO2 mechanically and effeciently.

They need to take Al Gore out and just shoot him, lol. I agree that a carbon tax will make the poor even worse off, and will make the middle class begin to live like the poor. Of course, the 1 percenters won't feel a thing, in comparison. But they are currently the ones complaining the most, because they won't be able to make as much money as before.

I see it eventually getting better though. People will suffer for a while, as they get used to living a different type of life, that doesn't involve racing off to work each morning in their gas guzzler. Electric cars will replace gasoline driving cars, and the electricity will come from reprehensible resources, that don't produce CO2 or CH4. Those are the two big things we have to accomplish, and that will solve most of the problem.

It's other people who really get to decide that. They may, or may not tell you what their decision is though. But they do tell everyone else. You're not illiterate, anyway, since you can obviously read, write, and think. But of course, some people consider you that if you didn't graduate from high school, so they won't employ you.

Also the activity of these volcanoes Could be affected by our position in the galaxy Are they more or less active when we are above or below the galactic plain.

We can not allow any government to tax a natural substance that we have no control over. It would only affect our wallets.

Without CO2 there is no ozone, no trees, no plants , no atmosphere. there is a balance there that we do not yet understand. all I have done here is introduce a factor that has not yet been covered.

mygor, CO2 from volcanic eruptions are actually a constant. Their output varies slightly over time, but is pretty much constant. You can look at the data from ice cores, and see the volcanoes going off by looking at the increase in dust, but there isn't an increase in CO2 to go along with them. In fact, you can see a decrease in CO2 following a lot of their eruptions [which indicates a die-off occurred].

I had doubts about whether or not the scientists had it all figured out, so I studied the ice core data, and even built a Climate Model that quite accurately backcasts the climate.


It stands to reason that if the average temperature of the earth can be backcasted that accurately, that it can be forecast as accurately. If so, we are in real trouble, because the algorithm that is used indicates that our average global temperature will eventually increase over 50C from where it is. It will take hundreds or even thousands of years to get there, but everything will be dead before then, if nothing changes.

Hot springs and other thermal features at Yellowstone National Park vent millions of tons of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide each year, more than a typical industrial power plant, researchers from Pennsylvania State University have found.

Industrial smokestacks are normally seen as the prime suspects for the increase of carbon dioxide levels, but hot spring systems like Yellowstone's produce enough carbon dioxide that they, too, should be considered when the world tallies its carbon dioxide emissions, the researchers said.

Cindy Werner, a geoscience graduate student at Penn State, spent much of last summer sampling gases emerging from thermal vents, mud pots and adjacent ground in Yellowstone's Mud Volcano area. Much of the carbon dioxide appeared to escape along fault lines running through the area.

Ms. Werner and Prof. Susan Brantley of Penn State calculate that Yellowstone's thermal regions annually vent millions of tons of carbon dioxide.

A Massive Lake Of Molten Carbon The Size Of Mexico Was Just Discovered Under The US

A recent scientific discovery has drastically changed our view of the global carbon cycle and identified a new significant risk. Researchers have discovered a giant lake or reservoir made up of molten carbon sitting below the western US.

The molten carbon (primarily in the form of carbonate) reservoir could drastically and immediately change the global climate for over a decade if it were to be released. Thankfully there is little risk in the near future of this happening. The carbon sits 217 miles beneath the surface of the Earth in the upper mantle and has no immediate pathway to the surface. In total the lake covers approximately 700,000 square miles, approximately the size of Mexico. This has redefined how much carbon scientists believe sits locked away in the Earth's mantle and its interaction with surface and atmospheric carbon.

Geologists at Royal Holloway University of London were able to use the largest array of seismic sensors in the world to detect what exists below the surface of the western US. In total 538 sensors were used to create a three-dimensional view of the regions subsurface.

Just saying.

Here is what I know Al Gore is a proven liar long before his views on climate change . I know this to be true because he Claimed to have invented the Internet during his run for pres. Which is why I could not vote for him in 2000. I had been on the U.Cal BBS where the people who really did invent the Internet talked about testifying before the senate about its release to the public. I choose not to pay attention Liars. So take your troll crap elsewhere please LIAR

Hot springs and other thermal features at Yellowstone National Park vent millions of tons of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide each year, more than a typical industrial power plant, researchers from Pennsylvania State University have found.

Industrial smokestacks are normally seen as the prime suspects for the increase of carbon dioxide levels, but hot spring systems like Yellowstone's produce enough carbon dioxide that they, too, should be considered when the world tallies its carbon dioxide emissions, the researchers said.

Cindy Werner, a geoscience graduate student at Penn State, spent much of last summer sampling gases emerging from thermal vents, mud pots and adjacent ground in Yellowstone's Mud Volcano area. Much of the carbon dioxide appeared to escape along fault lines running through the area.

Ms. Werner and Prof. Susan Brantley of Penn State calculate that Yellowstone's thermal regions annually vent millions of tons of carbon dioxide.

And this one.

A Massive Lake Of Molten Carbon The Size Of Mexico Was Just Discovered Under The US

A recent scientific discovery has drastically changed our view of the global carbon cycle and identified a new significant risk. Researchers have discovered a giant lake or reservoir made up of molten carbon sitting below the western US.

The molten carbon (primarily in the form of carbonate) reservoir could drastically and immediately change the global climate for over a decade if it were to be released. Thankfully there is little risk in the near future of this happening. The carbon sits 217 miles beneath the surface of the Earth in the upper mantle and has no immediate pathway to the surface. In total the lake covers approximately 700,000 square miles, approximately the size of Mexico. This has redefined how much carbon scientists believe sits locked away in the Earth's mantle and its interaction with surface and atmospheric carbon.

Geologists at Royal Holloway University of London were able to use the largest array of seismic sensors in the world to detect what exists below the surface of the western US. In total 538 sensors were used to create a three-dimensional view of the regions subsurface.

Just saying.

mygor, it is agreed that volcanoes do emit CO2.

That they do. They emit a lot of gases. CO2 is one of them.

And that CO2 does add to global warming.

Carbon dioxide has no such property. It is not capable of warming the planet.

At least you called them gurus. That's what climate 'scientists' are: religious nuts.

No, it is because they are religious nuts.

We know with certainty that humans generate much more CO2 than volcanoes though.

No, you don't.

It is not possible to determine the amount of carbon dioxide produced by man's activities. A few governments put out reports, but they use bad math to do it.

It is not possible to determine the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by volcanic activity. There is insufficient instrumentation for it. All that can be done is a VERY rough estimate, using the instrumentation we have.

There are many natural sources of carbon dioxide, including the oceans, plant material, dissolving limestone, etc.

Scientific American doesn't know either.

Or just go do a search on "co2 from volcanoes versus humans." There is a lot of information out there about it.

The Internet is not the Oracle of Truth. Don't treat it like one. Propaganda sites are not information.
