We need to talk about carbon
- RyanAF7 7y agoWhat a bunch of pseudoscience talking point bullshit. > Before the Industrial Revolution, our air contained 280 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide (CO2) on average. But new markets born from this revolution used a lot of energy, causing atmospheric CO2 rates to rise dramatically. For the first time in recorded history, our CO2 levels are above 400 ppm. 1) The Little Ice Age ended right as the temp readings were being taken which are used as the start of the "pre-industrial records". It was going to get hottter regardless of our burning fossil fuels and we still aren't above the last, supposed, interglacial high. 2) 1.4 billion people on Earth during the above stated time period, now there are 7.4; that's 6 billion more people breathing in air at approx. 4.5 metric tons a year each causing the oxygen to be leached and naturally increasing the CO2 PPM. 3) Nuclear Power is far more dangerous (besides radioactive waste) as it produces water vapor which is the single largest driver of the greenhouse effect. Yet, why aren't they talking about that? (hint: cause they don't actually fucking know anything) These corporations are so dangerous with their bullshit goodwill buying bandwagoning. Absolute horseshit.
