Climate Change - Vicious Feedbacks and Worst-Case Scenarios
| RE: Tundra release of carbon dioxide and methane19-03-2022 01:35 | |

The increased release of carbon dioxide and methane from tundra are both positive feedbacks to increased temperature. The carbon dioxide is from aerobic respiration of organic carbon in soil organic matter by microorganisms. The methane needs more than a sentence, but it is pretty straightforward that warming temperatures are capable of melting ice. Positive feedback from anthropogenic global warming on natural ecosystem release of greenhouse gases is a real thing. Honest. I won't bother with an "unambiguous definition for "feedback" because everyone with half a brain already knows what it means. They didn't take the required preparatory courses first, and should not have enrolled in this class. They are not allowed to interrupt the presentation with absurd demands. There should be some way to kick them out of the classroom, but... That's the downside of an unmoderated forum. ---------------------------------------------------------------- tmiddles wrote:sealover wrote:I just used that as an example of "positive"? feedback where CO2 causing warming is required.

Very few things truly "snow ball" or they would blow up right?

You'd agree that while there is AGW, human cause global warming, there is also Non-human global warming, right? Like we believe that around 12,000 years ago when we had mammoths and the globes surface was roughly 7C cooler than it is now. So over the past 12,000 years it has gotten 7C warmer WITHOUT human's playing a role. So lets skip to my question: I think there is a false implication from the "double wammy" feedback that this will spiral out of control on it's own. But that doesn't happen with natural warming either. So since natural warming and cooling "settle down" and don't actually spiral out of control, wouldn't it be likely AGW would too? sealover wrote:They are not allowed to interrupt ...Seriously ignore ITN.

Warming causes the tundra to release two different carbon-containing greenhouse gases from two different carbon-containing sources in the tundra. There is an enormous reservoir of trapped methane beneath the tundra. When the ice melts, the carbon in the methane is released in a chemical form only slightly different than the form in which it was trapped. Methane is a greenhouse gas about 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. When the tundra warms up, it also releases carbon as carbon dioxide. This carbon in this carbon dioxide is in chemical form VERY different than the one in which it was trapped. Carbon dioxide emissions from the tundra originate from ORGANIC carbon in the tundra. Organic carbon only counts as greenhouse gas when it's methane. Well, we could technical about some of the minor greenhouse gases which also contain carbon in organic, rather than inorganic form. Inorganic carbon is carbon that has been oxidized and has oxygen attached. Inorganic carbon includes carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and carbonate. Carbon dioxide emissions from the warming tundra result from organic carbon oxidizing to inorganic carbon, through aerobic respiration in microbial decomposition. It's okay if you didn't get all that the first time. You'll be hearing about it again. ============================================= tmiddles wrote:sealover wrote:Yes but it's INDIRECT.

Well, that's because 12,000 years ago we had networks of billions upon billions of evenly spaced hyper-accurate synchronized thermometers feeding Big-Data in the cloud, so we were able to capture valid datasets that enabled the calculation of the earth's temperature to within a usable margin of error.

I really don't get why a warmer climate, with more CO2 is scary-bad. I wasn't born with a thick covering of fur, so a warmer climate is really nice, less clothes required. Plants like a warmer climate too, and lots of CO2. Faster growing plants, longer growing season, more fresh, healthy food. You would need to hide your morbidly-obese body, if you kicked your addiction to chemical-packed processed foods. Healthy, natural, fresh foods, promote a healthy body. You would need a fistful of medications, to exist, and whine about other people enjoying the fruits of technology, industry, innovations. Just because you are ashamed of your disgusting unhealthy, physical appearance. But, fixing the climate, is going to crash the economy, and industry. Your processed food choices will be reduced to government rationed Soylent Green, and you'll slim down anyway, but doubt you'll be any healthier, or happier. There is a much larger margin of error, than the predicted warming, making it a faith-based, political issue, not a crisis. You can throw out all the catch phrases, buzzwords, an fear mongering crap you want. The math fails at the margin of error, for the data set being used. There is no positive proof mankind had anything to do with global warming. It freezes every winter (well, not here in Florida), but it thaws out in the spring, gets warmer in the summer. Ice age was just a really long winter. We went through a long spring, and summer is coning. Just how the planet spins. Not surprising, nothing to fear. Well, except those that don't fit summer clothing well... |

So the question is why is it a big deal now if it's always part of warming. Granted we're talking about the prospect of a unique EXTRA warming due to human activity, but the resulting effects wouldn't be any different in type from what happens with "normal" warming. Basically the issue I have is that there never seems to be a description of the "natural" and the AGW. Not that I know we have any natural warming now, maybe we have a natural cooling in the mean temp. But do you see my point? HarveyH55 wrote:It's bad if it happens to quickly Harvey.

Much of the year, the daytime high is mid 90s F. The high humidity makes it feel warmer, since sweat doesn't evaporate well, when the air around you is already saturated. We should be seeing triple digit temperatures most of the summer. What's worse, is that the triple digits have been getting very rare. The weather stations have to factor in the humidity, to reach a feels-like, triple digit temperature. Florida is low-lying land, surrounded by ocean. Rising sea levels, should be really screwing us up by now. We get torrential rains every year, and high sea levels, would make it had for much of it to runoff into the ocean. Should be season flooding, at the very least. People are still building huge, waterfront homes, hotels, resorts. Guessing, they aren't buying climate change either. We also get hit with hurricanes often. The frequency and intensity hasn't really seemed to increase. They've had to implement 'improved' measurement techniques, to gain that appearance. First decade or so, that I lived in Florida, a hurricane would downgrade, about one category at landfall, and carry the remaining intensity through the entire state, across into other states, until it hit some hills or mountains. Past decade, even a Cat 5, will downgrade to barely a hurricane (cat 1), and be a tropical storm as it crosses the state. Most of the catastrophic damage done at landfall, rather than continuing on. Our winters are much milder though. Use to get an occasional hard freeze, but it wasn't uncommon to get freeze warnings and see frost and ice. Seldom even drops into the 30s any more. Been years since I've worn an actual jacket. Just anything with long sleeves, a sweatshirt or hoodie. My central AC and heating usually did a piss-poor job of heating the house. Seldom feel a need to run the heat, which actually cycles on and off, rather than continuous, and still not doing much. Mostly, I just run it, so I could get out of the long pants, and long sleeve shirts. Winters have been milder, but the summer is milder as well. Definitely liking climate change... |

tmiddles wrote:And there was warming 100 years ago correct? And 200, and 500 and 1000 and 5000 years ago right? Surely you must be aware that you are living out a fantasy. You are not simply speculating about the past. You are treating all of this Climate Change as some sort of work of fiction that you read and are now trying to discuss ... in the same manner that I would discuss The Simarillion or The Shining. All fiction has familiar elements in the settings but recount stories that never actually happened. Discussion of such requires a suspension of disbelief and the making of assertions as though the story occurred as recounted. A discussion of The Simarillion would involve statements such as "The Noldor departed Valinor." There are no Noldor. There is no Valinor. It's just a work of fantasy fiction. Earth's past has no regular schedule of thermodynamics violations that is somehow known ... yet you are convinced that you know all of this fiction to have actually occurred. This leads to the question of why you don't just delve into existing fiction that you can discuss on a literary basis rather than force yourself into the difficult position of being required to suspend disbelief in physics violations. You clearly need to believe that your personal fantasy is "what we know" ... so why not choose one whereby you don't have to lie to yourself, one whereby you can accept physics and not pretend to know things that just aren't? tmiddles wrote:Hasn't there been "warming" for the past 12,000 years? If you were to choose some existing work of fiction to discuss, one in which the author has thought through all the details, you'd be able to recount all the pertinent definitions and answer clarification questions. As it stands, you can't even define this "warming" that you just used in your appeal to seal over to please, please, please, please, please believe your fantasy. You would make it easier for him to suspend his disbelief if you had solid, unambiguous definitions onto which he could get a firm grasp. You know he's doing the same thing to you with his techno-jargon that remains totally undefined. He needs for you to believe his version of the fantasy, the version that he owns, and for you to abandon your attempts at staking your own personal claim of ownership to the fantasy. seal over will claim that he doesn't need/want any unambiguous definitions because 1) he doesn't have any for his version and 2) it would be detrimental to him if you were to produce definitions that swing the balance of power in your favor. At the moment, you aren't defining any terms either, owing to the difficulty of your position, so seal over is biding his time, but make no mistake, you both came here to preach/pitch your own personal fantasies and neither of you has any intention of capitulating into becoming a member of the other's choir. As long as you are clamping down on your version of the fantasy as being "what we know" you can expect seal over to simply double down on "biogeochemistry explains Climate Change" and he will point to his claimed PhD with full expectation that you submit. I recommend you learn more about his version of the fantasy by asking him to recount his trip to the septic tank. He'll know what you're talking about. tmiddles wrote:So the question is why is it a big deal now if it's always part of warming. You have to know that your question is stupid. You are appealing to seal over to please, please, please, please, please embrace your version of the fantasy. You know he won't budge. Nowhere in your question do you acknowledge that biogeochemistry is the driver for all of Climate Change ... nor do you make any indication that will accept him as the authority between the two of you. After all, he has the (claimed) Ph.D. You are simply not following the proper protocol so you already know upfront that your appeal will be summarily rejected. ... but I wish you the best of luck nonetheless. I recommend you implement a strategy of lamenting the demise of coral reefs. That might distract seal over enough that he warms up to you sufficiently to start accepting more and more of what you preach in order to get more of your apparent "shared interest." I don't know if you noticed but seal over is hurting for attention. He needs acknowledgment and acceptance like nobody's business. It's almost as though his mother never loved him.

All time intervals are valid and you must account for them if you are going to assert that the rate of temperature change is what matters and that "It's bad if it happens too quickly." By the way, that's exactly what you claim, so account for Harvey's example. By the way, Harvey's example renders your assertion false. It's called the scientific method. I'm glad I could help. |

The repeating cycle of ice ages didn't begin until a few million years ago. Before that there was a global ocean current flowing between North America and South America. Warm tropical water passed between the two continents to spread far and wide. There wasn't as much warm water in the tropics, and there wasn't as much cold water at the poles. When plate tectonics sealed off the two oceans at Panama, everything changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tmiddles wrote:sealover wrote: |

I apologize if it comes off as rude, but my unique contribution to the discussion is biogeochemistry. There are plenty of other things I know, like a few things about paleoclimatogy, but I'm going to avoid them for the moment. Such things will come up periodically. For example, when previous climate patterns got turned upside down because the global ocean current got sealed off, one of the consequences was that concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dropped WAY down to historic lows. For a few million years now it has hovered around 350 ppm, at least until lately. For thousands of millions of years before that it was always much, much higher. But please give me some time. Those things will be included in future science lessons. Trust me on that one. ------------------------------------------------------------------- tmiddles wrote:HarveyH55 wrote:Definitely liking climate change...Well you might be one of the only people here convinced it is occurring. |

Example of feedback a few million years ago. Since I already brought it up, I'll give you a brief preview. This is biogeochemistry AND a climate feedback. Mother Nature switched the dial on CO2, and now we were in for ice ages. With the global ocean current sealed off, the tropical seas got warmer and the polar seas got colder. So, if these historically high CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere dropped so much, where did all the carbon go? Well, the tundra got very cold for one thing. It started aggrading and building a store of organic carbon that wasn't going back to the atmosphere anytime soon. That is enough of a preview. Don't ask me to elaborate yet. |

| sealover★★★★☆ (1249) |
With apologies to tmiddles, My intention is to ensure that my posts serve as either science lessons, or troll eradication lessons. So my apologies, tmiddles if our personal conversations are impersonal. And again, my admiration for your thick-skinned resilience as a rational person who wants to learn something in this troll-infested place. Venus is a great example I love to use for the importance of standing water to keep a planet cool. Oddly enough, there is an important variable of global warming to be learned from it. Furthermore, Venus is free of any confounding variable of human activity. Exclusively NON anthropogenic on Venus. Water keeps the earth cool. If we didn't have standing water in the oceans, the earth would be much hotter today, all other things being equal. Water takes heat from the surface and sends it back out to space. Not as radiation. The water molecules themselves carry the heat with them as they evaporate and float high into the atmosphere. They release that heat high above the surface when they condense out of the air as liquid water. That heat is well above the surface. It has a better chance of radiating out into space than it does of reheating the planet's surface. "Heat" is really the wrong word in many ways. It is about the energy required evaporate liquid water, and the energy released upon condensation of water vapor. "Heat" suggests that the temperature of the water molecules going up and down from the surface has anything to do with it. Well, Venus used to have a LOT of water. Furthermore, back in the day, the sun used to have less luminosity. Venus then, was like earth today. But the sun was constantly ramping up the luminosity. There was a point when there was still water, but hotter than before. Then there was a point when the water ran out completely, and the planet turned into an oven. By the way, the sun's luminosity is still ramping up. It's kind of a factor in natural global warming. WE'RE NEXT! But we've got at least a thousand million years to adapt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- tmiddles wrote:sealover wrote:... polar seas got colder....tundra got very cold ...started aggrading and building a store of organic carbon... |

You're really helping me piece this together. seal over wrote:If we didn't have standing water in the oceans, the earth would be much hotter today, all other things being equal. Which is why it's so much hotter where there isn't any water to keep it cool. Another great catch. seal over wrote:Water takes heat from the surface and sends it back out to space. In this context, what are you claiming "heat" is? From The MANUAL. Heat: noun In the Global Warming theology, "heat" means whatever it needs to mean at any given moment. The term is employed by Global Warming believers to shift semantic goalposts as necessary. It's meaning can shift fluidly between "temperature," "increase in temperature," "thermal energy," "flow of thermal energy," "convection," "absorption of electromagnetic radiation," "energy," "friction," "conduction," "infrared," "plasma," "work," "radiance," "power," "radioactivity," "electrical energy" and others as convenient. seal over wrote:Not as radiation. The water molecules themselves carry the heat with them as they evaporate and float high into the atmosphere. Nope. The short answer is that you are violating Stefan-Boltzmann. There is nothing about the earth that somehow increases earth's radiance above that driven by Stefan-Boltzmann. So, no. seal over wrote:They release that heat high above the surface when they condense out of the air as liquid water. There is no "release" of heat because heat is not something that can be trapped or contained. You should learn a little science and find out what heat is. seal over wrote:That heat is well above the surface. Yes, you definitely should learn what heat is. seal over wrote:It has a better chance of radiating out into space than it does of reheating the planet's surface. It's not a question of probability.

Posts will remain available when audience arrives. You are quite correct. There is no choir to preach to here. Yet. What I'm doing is trying to create the library before they get here. Everything I've posted will remain available. Furthermore, it will remain accessible without need to actually see ANY troll material. I was well aware that for the time being, virtually nobody could see them and that was part of the plan. I was quite surprised that there was even ONE like you, and now I'm aware of others as well. It was a year ago when I first signed up. It didn't take much research. All you had to do was see how many views of the posts to know it was a dead. This website was a no-go zone and it was no secret. Nor any secret why. I figured it was a quiet place to set up shop. I'm far from ready though. Technical issues, like how to post materials besides what I can type, and having them prepared. This is the perfect start. And even if it's just you and me talking for a while, those posts will be available for the others to see later. I'm not sure that what I'm doing right now is "feeding" the trolls. If so, they'll be on a starvation diet for about another week. Trust me. I have a plan. I'm not alone.

| RE: Photorespiration and C-3 versus C-4 metabolism in photosynthesis.21-03-2022 04:00 | |
| sealover★★★★☆ (1249) |
Photorespiration and C-3 versus C-4 metabolism in photosynthesis. True fact: The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations from historic (for the last few million years) levels hovering around 350 ppm to the current concentration above 400 million ppm has caused a significant increase in carbon sequestered and retained in the plant during photosynthesis. Translation, significantly larger yields now because plants don't accidentally burn up some of their organic carbon because of photorespiration. Before getting into photorespiration, let's look at another impact of higher CO2 on carbon sequestered and retained during photosynthesis. What happened to corn and sugar cane yields? Why didn't THEY go up? The data is in the public domain. Some plants benefit tremendously from higher CO2. Up to 25% yield increase. Other plants don't benefit at all. Not at all. Up to 0% yield increase. What's the difference? Unlike the vast majority of plant species benefitting from higher CO2, corn and sugar cane were never taking any losses to photorespiration. They had evolved a different way to catch CO2 from the atmosphere. They used C-4 metabolism. "4" being for the number of carbon atoms already in organic form on the molecule to which the next carbon would added from the next CO2 molecule being reduced and attached to it. It was a good trick that gave C-4 plants an advantage back in the day. They could get higher yields with the same amount of sunlight, compared to all the C-3 plants. But now the competitive advantage C-4 plants used to have has been lost. In fact now, C-3 plants get higher yields with the same amount of sunlight, compared to C-4. Those guys are now at a DISADVANTAGE in the competition. Back to photorespiration later. Now i sealover wrote: |

| RE: Photorespiration, rise of C-4 photosynthesis fitness with decline C)2 to 350 ppm21-03-2022 09:25 | |
| sealover★★★★☆ (1249) |
Photorespiration, rise of C-4 photosynthesis fitness when CO2 decline to 350ppm Three million years ago, Mother Nature reset the dial on the earth's atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. It dropped down. Like way, way down to where it had never been before. going to be evasive about photorespiration details, but suffice it for now to say that when photorespiration causes the plant to waste organic carbon that it fixed from the atmosphere just an enzyme grabbed oxygen, accidentally, rather than carbon dioxide. Carbon is a limiting nutrient when everyone competes under low CO2 at high noon under dense canopy of tropical rainforest. They can draw it down enough to increase the cost of doing business for photosynthesis. Like, by a LOT. Not coincidentally, corn and sugarcane originated from such environment. Bamboo too. Able to outgrow neighbors who were losing most of the carbon they fixed to photorespiration when the carbon feeding frenzy was so fierce. Bamboo, sugar cane, corn. Notoriously fast growers shoot up high fast. C_4 metabolism enabled them to do that when their neighbors were stalling under CO2-starved conditions. |
