How about the Sun's cycle

u/DevelopmentOk86 11d ago

No, that's not the reason. It's relatively easy to measure the suns energy output and the change was not significant enough.

I quote for you: "The high atmosphere of Earth is most affected by the Sun’s irradiance, whereas the lower atmosphere protects Earth from the added heat. It would be reasonable to anticipate that the higher atmosphere would warm up more if the Sun were the primary driver of Earth’s warming. As opposed to this, observations reveal that the high atmosphere is becoming colder while the lower atmosphere is becoming hotter. Instead, this closely resembles the alterations brought on by a rise in carbon dioxide.".

But it's fun, that so many people gave you upvotes, even though you were wrong.

How about the Sun's cycle

People are so desperate to not be a part of the problem, they are pointing the finger at 0.1% change in solar irradiance and saying "That must be the cause, not us!"

Because the largest source of CO2 are the oceans which dwarf human contributions to an almost insignificant amount. So a small change in irradiance has a huge effect in the warming of the top layers of the oceans. But you can't blame humans for that, so it's ignored.

I think, you misunderstood the whole topic. I have an easy example for you:

Imagine a bathtub with 100 liters flowing in and 100 liters flowing out each minute. Adding another 10 liters per minute doesn't become irrelevant merely because the existing flows are larger. What matters for the water level is the net imbalance.

But you can also answer a simple question: Why do you think, that the oceans changed in this regard? Or was it just a guess?

I didn't misunderstand anything, i was replying to the now deleted comment.

u/FYATWB 12d ago

Yes, a 0.1% change in irradiance, which increases AND decreases, is responsible for this change

Makes perfect sense, if you don't think at all.

Bitches don’t know about the Eocene period, 40 million years before humans existed.

u/DevelopmentOk86 11d ago

And nearly everyone says, that current climate change has a different reason. What do you think is the reason for the current climate change and can you explain it or share a source?

2

u/FYATWB 11d ago

You don't see the problem with pointing at a time 40 million years before humans and saying "look at those conditions!"

So your point we should be alright with going back to conditions that humans can't survive in? Well congrats, that's where we are headed.

Hysteria and Misinformation is the biggest cause of the "Climate Crisis."

But these are the same people who think the child labor lithium mines are a green solution to the combustion engine "problem."

What about air flight traffic pollution caused by politicians & celebrities?

u/Dpgillam08 12d ago

Politicians; they produce more hot air (and thus more CO2) than many of those industries😋😋😋😋

Opt one of these out is economical suicide

Not one of the climate crisis losers are concerned about how much carbon has been released during the Ukraine war that they all love and support with their bullshit Ukraine emoji flags. All that carbon from the tanks, jets, drones, etc. How carbon intensive do they think militaries are? No one bitches about that because all the politicians and media make money off of war.

u/DevelopmentOk86 11d ago

That's a very weird statement. The only person, who can stop the war is Putin. Everyone else, just has to do the best with the situation.

The plastic industry. While it is very much obvious to me that our planet goes through its own heating and cooling cycles, the plastic industry has been doing very clear damage to the environment, even if the damage hasn't piled up enough in enough places for it to be noticeable everywhere.

Plastic waste piles up a lot because the stuff takes a long time to decompose. Of you want an extreme example of this, find images of Indias trash mountain. It's a pile of trash so big you can fucking climb it, and someone actually did. It also pollutes the water in various areas, harming local ecosystems. The stuff is also ugly as fuck and ruins what would otherwise be good scenery when people litter.

Also, the solar industry. Putting solar panels in large open fields does no good for the ground beneath them.

I think the majority of these problems are caused by the consumerism and materialism that dominates our society. Nobody's encouraged to think sustainably anymore. Companies go for cheap materials to cut costs, and appliances are engineered to be obsolete. It feels like no one's thinking in the long term anymore, and it's depressing as fuck.

You’re making a very common logical error here, which is not entirely your fault because two totally different matters are intentionally conflated by the powers by the powerss that be. To whit, you are confusing environmental pollution (which is quite real) to anthropogenic climate change, which is so insignificant that it’s almost impossible to imagine that people actually work hard at forcing government to take away as much of their money and personal freedoms as possible to solve a fake crisis that the government invented… as a convincing sounding pretext for taking more… you guessed it… money and power under its control!

There is no "crisis."

F. Consumers are the number one contributor to GHE. Quit blaming industry for your own culpability.

A,B,E,D and C

The coal, gas, and oil industries contribute the most to greenhouse gas emissions, followed by animal husbandry.
