I wonder too. What if you believe and have models that say:
1) yes CO2 warms the atmosphere. This is reproducible.
2) the climate will warm.
3) but it doesn’t really matter according to these particular models.
It turns out there are climatologists that have models they interpret this way. Are they banned? Is this denialism? Do you have to agree it’s a “crisis” or can you agree it’s happening but it doesn’t make a big difference
- otabdeveloper4 5y ago> yes CO2 warms the atmosphere. This is reproducible Sorry, but we don't have a control group Earth to test this hypothesis. (Would be nice, but...)
- ryathal 5y agoYou can easily reproduce that an atmosphere higher in CO2 gets warmer without having a second Earth, you don't need a full planet to test a single atmospheric effect. What you can't do is quantify that to a meaningful measure in the context of Earth. We have no way of knowing if X more CO2 will cause Y warming, or if 2X CO2 will cause 2Y warming or 10Y or .5Y. We can be very certain tat more CO2 means warmer, but how much or how bad isn't clear.
- otabdeveloper4 5y ago> you don't need a full planet to test a single atmospheric effect Yes, you absolutely 100 percent do. The atmpsphere is a complex, non-stable systems with feedback loops. It does not reduce to a sum total of atmospheric effects.
