  If China wants to reduce emissions then the rest of the wold will have to follow. If China for instance as an extra event wants the world to halfcut emissions for one year just for science to measure the result, then the rest of the world will have to do it. Is it not so..? Who can say no to a China in this matter and look themselves in the mirror afterwards..?  |

No decision by China in any way compells any other sovereign country, especially in major economic/industrial decisions.

 China has a great wish for more energy. China has the largest population in the world. China is the most climate sensitive country in the world. The Chinese are at the moment in the worst dilemma and if they choose to cut emissions to save the world and themselves all other countries will have to follow or in my opinion shame on them.   |

You might be praying to someone "higher than yourself" but if you want others to share your beliefs in some way then you first need to clearly articulate a real problem you believe exists, and why your solution is worth the expense. At the moment, you seem to be doing nothing but fear-mongering people into attacking capitalism against their own interests. . I don't think i can [define it].

We can accurately predict the weather only a few days out. Jakob, however, has computed the flood damage for various cities out to 2050. Truly amazing! @ Jakob - would you mind giving us the gains for the top 10 stocks out to 2050 as well? . |

All "weather" events occur over their own amount of time so "climate" is just weather events (plural) which means it really is still just "weather." Regarding the "long time" qualifier, earth has had weather for as long as it has had an atmosphere. If I were to consider all of earth's weather events ever, I don't know if I would be considering any "climate" but I would clearly be considering a lot of "weather." "Climate" must therefore be a subset of "weather." "Climate" therefore must be weather.

 I hoped you were better at evaluating the sorse than me. If the period is from now until 2050 ( more than 30 ) I think it can be fair to talk about climate change instead of just weather changing. Anyway as a risk assessment it may if nothing else provide an indication.  |

Jakob wrote: Jacob - you appear to be honestly concerned. That is because the media and the Global Warmists have been harping on this subject for so long. The facts are that this is a normal warm period that occurs every thousand years of so. These are a result of minor cycles in the Milankovitch Cycles and solar cycles and flares etc. NONE of the data they've been collecting shows any of their hypothesis to be anywhere near correct. One clue to look for is when they tell you what the conditions on Earth are going to be 50 to 100 years from now. They cannot accurately model rainfall next week but they're going to tell you what the entire Earth is going to be like in 100 years. Some make the effort to say "if conditions remain unchanged". When have conditions remained the same in your lifetime? CO2 follows warming it does not cause it. This is the CO2 boiling out of the ocean from warming. When the natural cooling cycle comes again it will be taken up by the oceans again. This is what is known as an "Interglacial Period" which is a geological time in which glaciers are shrinking and the climate warms naturally between the full blown glaciation of an Ice Age and the Earth's attempt to navigate out of it in it's natural chain of events. There have been Interglacial Periods between hard glaciation for the last 542 million years. Homosapiens only came into existance a little more than 200,000 years ago. And this Earth has technically been in an Ice Age that entire time. We still have about 120,000 years before another full blown glaciation comes along so relax and enjoy a warmer tomorrow because this warm period is about to end and there is always the chance that we will have another Maunder Minimum or Little Ice Age that cause almost all of the glaciers that have melted over the last 120 years. Ask these people why during the early 1800's that we had the Dalton Minimum and people in London were ice skating on the Thames River. If they can't explain the normal extremes of cold spells why should anyone believe their calls to arms about warmth? |

These are a result of minor cycles in the Milankovitch Cycles and solar cycles and flares etc. is simply wrong. There are no "minor cycles in the Milankovitch Cycles" that repeat every 1,000 years. The solar (sunspot) cycle repeats every 11 years or so, while flares are completely irregular. You're just making stuff up and abusing those who call you out on it. |
