If you look at the relative risk curve (the very last page of the supplementary data), most of the exposure levels contain 1 in the relative risk estimate (also please notice that for some reason the confidence interval is 90%, if choosing

This is racism against white people: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1686025436667518976?... And there is a damn lot of it.

They explain in the paper. It's very likely an artifact. But from the layers around it, it becomes clear that through the years these high CO2 bubbles leak CO2 to nearby layers. And so CO2 highs are diminished in the ice core record an

This is a very interesting read: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-glaciolog... They have found some meltwater layers with unexpectedly large quantities of CO2 > 750ppm. But they also show that

Also, btw, this one is fun: "Carbon dioxide measurements from older ice in Greenland is less reliable, as meltwater layers have elevated carbon dioxide (CO2 is highly soluble in water)."

Where is it well-modelled? Noble gasses will diffuse differently from CO2. And on-top of diffusion of course CO2 will make hydrogen bonds with water in the ice. It is well-understood that many ice cores give the same relative shape of peaks

You don't think modern agriculture and energy are intimately related? I'm honestly a bit shocked.

by zosima 3y ago
Availability of energy can mitigate crop failure and lack of energy also leads to crop failure. How can people not generally understand the connection?

Bigger problems than no power in the worst year imaginable. Give me a break.

One of the many misleading things done by climate scientists is to splice together data derived via different measurement methods. The CO2 curve 800000 years back is an excellent example. CO2 in air bubbles in ice will diffuse into the ice

Well, if the earths population was 2 million, 15000 years ago and Sudan's today is 50 million, I think it's quite clear that Sudan's population has gone up quite a bit also over 15000 years.

In Algeria, there seems to be space enough by the coast. We were talking about survival, not luxury living.

But deforestation and the following biodiversity loss is a completely different problem than reducing CO2. And in general, very few things that will reduce CO2 is going to help against deforestation (and contrary to popular opinion, even la

It's been tradition in Algeria to migrate to the coast during the summer-months, since forever. Other locations similarly popular is mountain regions. That's going to continue to work for many years and degrees to come, so I'

We had a ~10C increase in temperature from 20000 YA - 13000 YA or so and then a yoyo jump back down ca. 6C and up again in a 1000 years, during the younger dryas. While the 19th-21th century increase of 1-1.2C or so is a bit faster, it&#x27

You got to explain to me how wrecking our electricity grid and living with threat of exploding electricity prices (so much so, that there has been many reports of poor people not being able to afford heating in the winter) is making the wor

Far from everyone experiences this as a particularly hot summer. There has been some warm days around the Mediterranean, US and china, but talking to people in e.g. central and northern Europe and India it has been, probably cooler, than av

According to the satellite data, this June was fairly average: https://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/ Bundling with ocean surface temperature may make it hotter. But then again, why would you do that?

Yes, your reply seems a bit disoriented. Overlobstering is a despicable habit which should be stopped wherever it's happening. It's just neither driving lobsters status as a luxury good, nor is it significantly affecting the amoun

No it doesn't. It claims overfishing in many areas. Not a decline in lobster.

The choice of lobster was because I replied to a comment claiming lobster had become a luxury good, due to increasing rarity. Here is some index of north american lobster catch: http://www.asmfc.org/species/american-lob

For many commodities the opposite relation is true. Only when the commodities are used in a high enough quantity is there enough incentive to really try to create as much of them as possible. I don't think lobster is more scarce these

CO2 is not the main infrared absorbing gas in the atmosphere. That is the point. Residence time does not mean anything with regards to that. Increased concentrations of CO2 may still be responsible for some warming, but that does not change

by zosima 3y ago
CO2 is not even close to being the main infrared-absorbing gas in the atmosphere. The point is that this anomaly is unlikely to be mainly due to the recent warming trend.

Technically of course the correct formula is: weight = starting mass + mass added - mass lost. And just as it's completely obvious, I also think it's completely useless for understanding how to live a good life at a desired body w

But the industry regulation may be what is bullshit. The job can be still bullshit, even though it serves a purpose for a specific company in a specific environment. Corporate lawyer is the archetypal graeberian bullshit job.
