Climate Change - Vicious Feedbacks and Worst-Case Scenarios11-03-2022 02:54
sealover ★★★★☆ (1239)	Anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide via fossil fuel combustion is just one of many sources contributing to increasing atmospheric concentrations. Natural ecosystems cycle enormous quantities of carbon. Ecosystems that previously were net sinks, sequestering more carbon from the atmosphere than they emitted have shifted to emitting more than they sequester. Climate change itself is causing ecosystems to emit more carbon dioxide. The increased frequency and severity of wildfires is a major source of increased carbon dioxide emissions. Methane locked in the ice under the tundra is now being released to the atmosphere. As these massive stores of organic carbon warm up enough to decompose, carbon dioxide emissions skyrocket. Many more examples of vicious feedbacks that will aggravate climate change.

As far as anything you have unambiguously defined, nothing is happening in this regard. sealover wrote:The increased frequency and severity of wildfires is a major source of increased carbon dioxide emissions. According to my information, there has been no increase in frequency or severity of wildfires, except in places like California where the complete mismanagement of forests is deliberate so they can generate more fires and feed the Climate Change narrative. sealover wrote:Methane locked in the ice under the tundra is now being released to the atmosphere. Sorry, trafn already beat you to this lunatic's argument. Unfortunately, he had a meltdown and became one of the two people banned from this site, otherwise he could tell you more about it personally. In the meantime, read more about the discussions that have already happened HERE. Perhaps if you look at it from the outside looking in, you can better see how silly the whole argument is. sealover wrote: As these massive stores of organic carbon warm up enough to decompose, carbon dioxide emissions skyrocket. Releasing CO2 back to the atmosphere where it used to be in the first place is not some sort of problem. sealover wrote:Many more examples of vicious feedbacks that will aggravate climate change. "Feedbacks" is religious dogma that runs counter to physics. "Forcings" is the Global Warming religion's doctrinal term for "miracles" and "feedbacks" are the highest form of "forcings", being performed directly by the goddess Climate herself. You aren't going to fool any scientist into believing that the laws of thermodynamics can somehow be overcome by mere belief in Climate Change.

RE: Acid Rain and Ocean Acidification14-03-2022 12:24
sealover ★★★★☆ (1239)	In 1985, I began post graduate research. "Acid Rain" was a big deal in those days. Among the few things they will willing to fund environmental research for at the time. I got lucky with a lab that got a big NSF grant. The powers that be will willing to fund generously at the time. Action could be stalled so long as they were still waiting to get all the reports. It looked like they were doing all they could. And some of the powers believed their own fantasies that the research would exonerate them and absolve them of responsibility to act. The field of biogeochemistry came of age. They were the only scientists who had the right training for the big picture questions. Acidic deposition. "Acid rain". On average about two thirds sulfuric acid and one third nitric acid, with a lot of regional variation in the relative content of the two acids. One problem was that it was acidic. Another problem was that the protons didn't come by themselves. There was nitrate from nitric acid. "Nitrogen saturation" of ecosystems was one impact. Nitrate is fertilizer. Ecosystems that were historically nitrogen limited were leaking out nitrate from the excess input. Nitrate in surface water was fertilizer for algae blooms, eutrophication, and hypoxia. And there was sulfate from sulfuric acid. When sulfate passed through the soil, it wasn't going out alone. It usually dragged an ion of calcium or magnesium along with it. Calcium and magnesium deficiency in forests on silica-rich soils was causing die back. And aluminum toxicity was being provoked, mainly on account of calcium deficiency. Acid rain also influenced soil organic matter. It reduced the solubility of soil organic matter. It protonated organic anions, limiting their complexing power and solubility. Rather than being retained in soil as chelation complexes with organic anions, calcium and magnesium were being dragged away by sulfate.

In fact, you can calculate the pH of natural rainfall just by knowing the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. Don't be afraid! It can be intimidating at first, but science math can also be fun. Back when atmospheric CO2 was about 350 ppm, rainfall pH was about 5.6. Scientists could even predict how much the rainfall pH would drop when the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere reached 360 ppm. That is because carbonic acid in the raindrops is in chemical equilibrium with carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere. But "acid rain" isn't about carbonic acid. Most of the acidity in "acid rain" came from sulfuric acid. Also known as hydrogen sulfate. In some regions, most of the acidity in "acid rain" came from nitric acid. Also known as hydrogen nitrate. One of the adverse environmental impacts of "acid rain" was aluminum toxicity. The trees weren't actually "eating" the aluminum.

RE: acid rain, environmental chemotherapy15-03-2022 03:51
sealover ★★★★☆ (1239)	The first large scale attempt at environmental chemotherapy was in response to "acid rain". Lime (calcium carbonate) was applied to large areas of forest. It succeeded at addressing calcium deficiency. It also mobilized a lot of soil organic matter. Soil organic matter solubility is pH dependent. The lime additions to the forests caused dissolved organic matter exports from watersheds to nearly double. The benefits probably outweighed the harm. The harm could have been avoided with better understanding of biogeochemistry. One form of environmental chemotherapy or another is being given more and more consideration as the search for solutions becomes more desperate. Chemotherapy for the sky - fill it with anthropogenic aerosols to block the sun. Chemotherapy for the sea - add anthropogenic fertilizer to supply limiting nutrients such as iron. Chemotherapy for the land - fix the bad chemicals we left in the soil and water by adding other anthropogenic chemicals. Be careful. You're playing with fire. It's a complex system we're messing with.

RE: Am I "trolling" my own threads?18-03-2022 22:23
sealover ★★★★☆ (1239)	On a dozens of occasions in my few weeks here, the trolls have advised me that I'm "trolling" my own threads. I'm not sure what that means. I think I have about 3 or 4 posts on threads that are not my own. If I am "trolling" anyone else's thread, my victims have been few in number. Want an unambiguous definition of troll? Someone who has posted more than 100,000 times, on other people's threads.

sealover ★★★★☆ (1239)	Thank you for an intelligent rational statement that makes a useful point. I expect we'll be seeing a whole lot more of those around here soon. And, yes, by all means click the poster's name by the avatar. It will guide you straight past the garbage to a list of posts that are worth reading. "tmiddles" resilience is admirable. It take a good mind and thick skin to survive in this jungle. But the jungle is about to change. Soon the trolls will be outnumbered, far outnumbered by people who actually care about climate changes. There will be no absurd, circular discussions about requirement for an "unambiguous definition". There will be intelligent exchanges between people who actually understand science and have the credentials to prove it. And I say most sincerely how much I admire your intelligence and resilience. tmiddles wrote: sealover wrote: Want an unambiguous definition of troll?

I think it's useful to figure out why an objection is BS but only once Neil Degrassy Tyson had a guy say the moon landing was fake (like Candace Owens just did) and so he asked him: "What evidence would convince you" The guy said a photo of the lunar lander still on the moon (it is there). So Tyson produced it. The guy then said it was no good because it came from NASA. At which point Tyson was done with the fool. The nice thing about about liars and nutjobs is you can simply guide them over the crazy line and then wash you hands.
RE: click by the avatar and plug your nose18-03-2022 23:06
sealover ★★★★☆ (1239)	As always, you make a rational point that has some value in the discussion. Something a reader can do, if they plug their nose first, is click by the avatar of any one of the local trolls. There is a striking consistency. They are full of insults and empty of science. Judge for yourself. Plug your nose and click the avatar. Then you can judge for yourself who is "credible". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ tmiddles wrote: sealover wrote: There will be no absurd, circular discussions about requirement for an "unambiguous definition".

Most feedback is "negative"? right? Like if you put more CO2 in the air the oceans will absorb more, reducing the CO2 in the air. negative feedback If an object gets hotter it releases that energy even fast, again negative feedback. I'm wondering if CO2 has any positive feedback that doesn't require warming as the middle step (that you can think of).
