Climate Change consequences-climate catastrophe30-05-2019 23:18
hower77 ☆☆☆☆☆ (1)	Climate change is a debatable topic with controversy existing between supporters and non-supporters. Some individuals believe that the climate change happening currently is of little or no concern as evidenced from past climate change cycles previously recorded in earth's history. Others believe climate change to be of great concern, stating that it is directly linked to the increase and overuse of fossil fuels causing pollution to the earth's atmosphere, resulting in an unnatural rate in the climate change cycle. The most significant elements of climate change are long-term occurrence in regional and global averages of temperature, humidity and rainfall patterns occurring in time blocks of seasons, years, and decades. While earth's climate has fluctuated in the past, never before has atmospheric carbon dioxide levels been as high as they are today. The effects of climate change we see happening today have consequences for weather, food sources, oceans, and health. Warmer air carries more moisture resulting in extreme storms, rainfall, floods, and heavy snowfall. Growing crops becomes more difficult since the areas where plants once could grow are shifting due to flooding or water supplies becoming scarcer or drying up. Ice sheets in Greenland, Antarctica, and glaciers are melting, causing sea levels to rise, resulting in coastal flooding, more extreme tidal surges and the contamination of fresh water with salt water. Smog containing ozone particles in urban areas is increasing rapidly with higher temperatures and exposure to these higher levels can cause asthma, heart disease, and lung cancer. The World Health Organization (WHO) has assessed climate change "as the greatest threat to public health and the defining issues of the 21st century." The impacts of climate change are being demonstrated in the natural world and society. The question that remains is what will be the outcome? If careless use of fossil fuels continues and measures aren't taken to slow the rate of climate change, earth, and its inhabitants could be facing a climate catastrophe.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	The first CO2 monitoring station didn't go online until 1958. I've no idea when other stations came online, or how long before any standardizations of measurements were ever reached. Seldom get to see the readings of multiple stations displayed side-by-side. There is no method of extracting CO2 data from anything, before actual measurements, since it's a very small concentration, 0.04% of the atmosphere, which for some reason is considered catastrophically high. To me, it seems like a rediculously low number to get excited over, as does a one or two degree difference in temperature, spread over a 100 year period. Our thermometers don't commonly read to that level of precision today, let alone 100 years ago. Even a lab grade thermometer, is acceptable, with only a resolution in the 1/10 of a degree scale, and a 10% tolerance. Higher precision isn't typically needed for most work, specialty equipment is very expensive. Isn't just as possible, that there hasn't been any actually changes in nature, just changes in the way we measure, and interpret the results? Climate Change is almost completely based on computer simulations, basically, a video game. Raw data doesn't normally conveniently fit on a graph or computer screen, needs to be 'adjusted' some. For any location on earth, the 24 hour High/low readings will show 10-20 degrees difference, just between night and day temperatures. Doesn't make for a nice, easy to read graph. Weather conditions also make some huge changes as well, and that's just one location, it's a huge planet. There is a huge margin of error in all these calculations, the small differences, that a few people find so alarming (Al Gore), is well within that margin. I live in Florida, and no signs of rising sea levels, as predicted 20 years ago. Other than the regular tide cycles, the only rising sea levels, come during hurricanes and tropical storms, which return to normal soon after they pass. There are plenty of century old homes and businesses along the coast, still in fine condition, occasional storm damage, but are holding up well, and not under water. If the seas had risen even one foot (12 inches), the bottom floor of a lot of beach front buildings would be unuseable, many would have been condemned by now. We do see significant beach erosion each year, and constantly replace the sand for the tourists. During active storm seasons, it's a crisis, since it hard to keep up. Climate Change is really about any actual abnormality, just how people perceive the environment, and methods of measuring it. There is always going to be a debate, and someone trying to change our perception. Not enough people are ever going to agree on anything to make a significant change though. Just something to believe in, and fight over, but life goes on.

I've no idea when other stations came online, or how long before any standardizations of measurements were ever reached. Seldom get to see the readings of multiple stations displayed side-by-side. Such stations are all on the ground. CO2 is not uniformly distributed in the atmosphere. There's a couple dozen of them now. HarveyH55 wrote: There is no method of extracting CO2 data from anything, before actual measurements, since it's a very small concentration, 0.04% of the atmosphere, which for some reason is considered catastrophically high. Worrying about CO2 is completely pointless. The gas has absolutely now capability to warm the Earth. It is simply being used as a scapegoat for Marxists to attack capitalism, industry, and corporations. HarveyH55 wrote: To me, it seems like a rediculously low number to get excited over, as does a one or two degree difference in temperature, spread over a 100 year period. Since it's not possible to measure either number, the only debate there is pointing out that there is no data to a bunch of fundamentalist believers in the Church of Global Warming.

Even a lab grade thermometer, is acceptable, with only a resolution in the 1/10 of a degree scale, and a 10% tolerance. Weather stations use lab grade thermometers. Instrument tolerance is margin of error. They are two completely different numbers. HarveyH55 wrote: Higher precision isn't typically needed for most work, specialty equipment is very expensive. Isn't just as possible, that there hasn't been any actually changes in nature, just changes in the way we measure, and interpret the results? Margin of error has to do with how much variance you get from one thermometer to the next simply because they are not measuring the same thing. Temperature gradients as steep as 20 deg F per mile have been observed. Two thermometers placed a mere mile apart will show 20 deg F difference in temperature. Worse, thermometers are not uniformly placed. They are concentrated in cities, which is a very small part of the Earth's surface, and biases the data to measuring one city more heavily than anywhere else, yet treating it as if the thermometers were uniformly spaced. We simply do not have enough thermometers to measure the temperature of the Earth. HarveyH55 wrote: Climate Change is almost completely based on computer simulations, basically, a video game. No, 'climate change' is a meaningless word. 'Change' only has a meaning if a precise start and stop time are given, and a precise quantifiable value is considered between those two times. Justification of those two times is necessary. Why not any other two points in time? The phrase 'climate change' does not specify a start and stop time, does not specify a time interval, and does not specify a quantifiable value. There is no such thing as a global climate. HarveyH55 wrote: Raw data doesn't normally conveniently fit on a graph or computer screen, needs to be 'adjusted' some. Wrong. [url=https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/nv/north-las-vegas/KVGT/date/2019-5-30This website[/url] is showing raw data using graphs: This data is measured using a lab grade thermometer (electronic design), a rain gauge (electronic design), and a windspeed and direction indicator (electomechanical design). Each of these are quantifiable scalar values and are easily graphed. This station is located at North Las Vegas airport (KVGT), in Las Vegas, NV. These graphs show the previous 24 hour period of conditions at that station. [quote]HarveyH55 wrote: For any location on earth, the 24 hour High/low readings will show 10-20 degrees difference, just between night and day temperatures. This station recorded a low of 64 deg F and a high of 87 deg F in the previous 24 hour period, a difference of 23 deg F. HarveyH55 wrote: Doesn't make for a nice, easy to read graph. I find these graphs to be nice and easy to read. HarveyH55 wrote: Weather conditions also make some huge changes as well, and that's just one location, it's a huge planet.

HarveyH55 wrote: There is a huge margin of error in all these calculations, the small differences, that a few people find so alarming (Al Gore), is well within that margin. Al Gore is denying statistical mathematics just like the rest of the Church of Global Warming does.

The unit of punishals would have to be defined in quantifiable terms, however. That's the trouble with the Church of Global Warming. They reject any quantifiable unit except temperature (either in deg F, or deg C), and that only as part of a base rate fallacy.

I live here and have seen worse many times, speaking of the state as a whole. Sure there is "record" flooding locally. I think you've overquantified. Is that a word? It is now!

Please make sure to factor in all appropriate forcings and feedbacks, and please include the obligatory analysis of greenhouse gas "heat trapping" that occurred in the lower stratosphere as opposed to the short wave infrared that was reflected back to the surface. After that, we'll rubber stamp it, ... ummm, I mean we'll scrutinize it thoroughly and that punishall quantity will be established. If only we can get some sort of GasGuzzler constant that we can build into every extreme weather event, then we'll have gold! I don't think i can [define it]. I just kind of get a feel for the phrase. - keepit A Spaghetti strainer with the faucet running, retains water- tmiddles Clouds don't trap heat. Clouds block cold. - Spongy Iris Printing dollars to pay debt doesn't increase the number of dollars. - keepit If Venus were a black body it would have a much much lower temperature than what we found there.- tmiddles Ah the "Valid Data" myth of ITN/IBD. - tmiddles Ceist - I couldn't agree with you more. But when money and religion are involved, and there are people who value them above all else, then the lies begin. - trafn You are completely misunderstanding their use of the word "accumulation"! - Climate Scientist. The Stefan-Boltzman equation doesn't come up with the correct temperature if greenhouse gases are not considered - Hank :sigh* Not the "raw data" crap.* - Leafsdude IB STILL hasn't explained what Planck's Law means. Just more hand waving that it applies to everything and more asserting that the greenhouse effect 'violates' it.- Ceist

Sure there is "record" flooding locally. I think you've overquantified. Is that a word? It is now! I just held a democratic vote I suspect you are lying and the local scientific consensus holds that you are to be considered the climate scientist for Iowa flooding. But, I can't ignore the scientific consensus. and I always wanted to be a scientist!(Maybe now I'm the one lying? ) You are hereby chartered to draft up a peer reviewed study (Into the Night and I will "peer review" it of course) Oh shit, you two over a couple of beers peer reviewing my scientific flood study? We're looking at a substantial increase in punishals. to determine the correct quantity of punishals for the Iowa flooding. Is there a Punishal Assignment Protocol Handbook I may first look at in case I need to skew/tilt/cook my data a bit? Please make sure to factor in all appropriate forcings and feedbacks, and please include the obligatory analysis of greenhouse gas "heat trapping" that occurred in the lower stratosphere as opposed to the short wave infrared that was reflected back to the surface. Not really understanding the forcings and feedbacks thing. Is it like when man made global warming made it flood and then twenty eight thousand people drove in their cars to go see it? Most of them didn't even THINK about carpooling! ....completely unaware that by burning all those fossils it will likely happen again next week...or in 15 to 75 years? Is that a forcing? After that, we'll rubber stamp it, ... ummm, I mean we'll scrutinize it thoroughly and that punishall quantity will be established. Now I'm wondering, since Iowa is such a huge offender, I'm wondering if maybe we can buy "punishal credits" from another state" Something similar to cap and trade. If only we can get some sort of GasGuzzler constant that we can build into every extreme weather event, then we'll have gold! Trust me when I say I am constantly guzzling gas, rain or shine! Radiation will not penetrate a perfect insulator, thus as I said space is not a perfect insulator.- Swan Edited on 01-06-2019 07:57

Feedback: noun A feedback is a specific type of forcing employed by Climate that overcomes the physical limitations of the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics by creating additional usable energy. Feedbacks come in various subcategories, e.g. thermal, climate, hydrostatic, radiative, etc.. This falls under Settled Science.

We can draft up a Cap & Trade amendment with punishals directly addressed. Great point. AOC will be first to endorse it.

It's a lot of paperwork involved is assembling my team of top aquatic metering scientists. Radiation will not penetrate a perfect insulator, thus as I said space is not a perfect insulator.- Swan
