What is the impact of Volcanoes or other natural things to the global warming?
- vixen99 11y agoWhat is the impact of CO2? We do not actually know its magnitude (on global temperature). We certainly know that the relationship is not one of direct proportionality. Climate literature shows that its interpretation (in terms of causation) is made exceptionally difficult by many other factors which if given a fair discussion would render virtually every popular account unreadable and most definitely outwith the reach of any rational policy making. Doubters should examine the Vostok core data and temperature data for 1880-2016. For sure, there's a story there but to claim there's a policy directive arising from this data is simply unjustified. To be clear - simplistic denial of <any> link is of course mere ignorance.
- puppetmaster3 11y agoHi Vixen. In science, debate is encouraged. Seems that some are scared of a debate.
