Myth #3 is about comparing CO2-levels from hundreds of million years ago. In about 4:03 it is showing solar output superimposed on top of the graph of CO2+temp etc. The meaning is that with higher solar output today, greenhouse gases will h

These floods affect village centers first, which are often built surrounding a river or in flood-prone area (ie. beneath a dike or dam). So these centers may be boliterated or severely damaged when it rains as much as in one month during th

In my household we very much agree we have no way of knowing wether it's a lab-leak or not. Our newspapers tell us the same, as well as reporting different opinions during the whole thing. We recognize opinion as opinion, not propagand

"... She, and other scientists, agree climate change is an emergency. But Oxford Prof Tim Palmer told me: "It’s is impossible to say how much of an emergency we are in because we don’t have the tools to answer the question. "

Yeah, I modified my response. I think we both agree measures will be reactive in regards extremes.

We are likely to have to tackle both climate change (warming), and mitigation. It's just that nobody has the authority and resources for it, before calamity strikes.

If humanity cut all of CO2 emissions today, it's going to take hundreds of years for accumulated CO2 to drop significantly! It's mostly excess CO2 and doesn't drop beyond seasonal cycles.

This is obviously some of alot of infrastructure that today reside in harm's way from chaotic climate change. The flood moved cars, houses and eradicated buildings. So that should tell something of sudden erosion too.

The argument turns circular because while climate models predicts climate change, they have variations and do not predict local weather. They can imply higher risk and using statistics you can say there's a very low chance these events

Yep. Just taking a 50:50 bet on the popular side doesn't mean anything, unless backed up by something substantial. There's no meaning to saying you were right or wrong, unless how you got there can be followed by facts and verific

Solar input is higher than hundreds million years ago, and for tens of million years there've been several extinction events above 900 ppm. Extinctions happens fast and wipes out alot of life. Researchers find CO2 to often be catalyst.

The debt metaphor is good. The scientists have models that are pretty accurate, but what may end up happening is local acceleration beyond those models. What happens under the heat dome is one example, and similar effects throughout the ent

Humans are incredible when they set their minds to something. But it remains to be seen how we can balance out all the remaining CO2 and emissions, or somehow suck it out from the atmosphere without harm. The problem has to be identified, a
