Scientists are 95% sure humans are causing climate change

[danieldjz]

Scientists agree that 9 out of 10 times you jump out a building, you fall down. This is how ridiculous this information sounds.

[RohithBasu]

When the fuck is it going to be 100 percent sure already ??

[MiguelSanchez-nogr]

He did not tell us how we are doing it

Which scientist did who ask about humans causing Climate change? And was the "scientist" from the fast food truck downtown one of them? :-)
There was a several thousand year long warm period around the bronze age in north Europe. Then it got colder in the iron age were one can see on the findings that life became much more difficult and dull. In middle age it was warmer than today and they grew vine around London. In 1400th century started a cold period, called "the little ice age, that lasted until the 1900th century.
I don't believe that anybody can know how much of climate change is due to human activity and how much is due to natural causes..CO2 is not poison and make all the carbohydrates in plants. Doubling the CO2 will not cause a doubling of CO2 density in the atmosphere as it has 3 dimensions to fill, not one. I could go on and on.

This is a recent article from weather.com
"Salmon and rainbow trout don’t handle hot well. They’re cold-blooded, and their survival depends on the temperature of the water they’re swimming in, according to the EPA. Though they’re fine in 75-degree water for a short time, they prefer it at least 10 degrees cooler .So when temperatures soared recently in Alaska and some water bodies jumped to 80 degrees F, more than a thousand fish died."

So what in the world are you talking about?

Welcome back everyone to another episode of fake news!

I'd take global warming over global freezing any day. Cheers to warm weather

15 years ago scientists said that the planet Earth should be entering into a colder period, but apparently does not because of the greenhouse effect. But the ice age prediction is not precise. It's like the next eruption of the Vesuvio in Italy:it happens roughly every 700 years, but it's been known to miss by a hundred years or so.

Only 15 years ago 95% were sure it was wrong. Remember the coming ice age in the 70's?

[MrApplewine]

I'm 100% sure if you pee in the ocean it will contribute to rising ocean levels.

[MrTubs]

So you're saying. That the ice age never happened?!?!?!

There's Robert Henson's The Rough Guide to Climate Change. It is very informative and very plain-speaking. Henson also explains why a temperature increase of only 1°C has dramatic effects. - I wonder how Americans can live through tornado seasons and not grow extremely concerned about global warming. - Hope you enjoy the read.

[MrTubs]

I never said or thought they we're dumb, or they we're wrong. All i was saying is that the earth has naturally had climate changes.

[Paletero]

that dose not negate any reason why we should act recklessly in inducing these changes faster, man made disasters like the Dust Bowl are a lesson of that.

Google a bit about the milankovitch cycles and be enlightened why the earth cools and warms due to natural processes. It was already experiencing 10000 years of cooling since we came out of the last ice age - and was supposed to do that for 80000 more years. That was until humans discovered fossil fuels. Read some science, you might learn something.

[theotherguy]

so who melt the ice during the ice age?

[CoffeePoints]

It took me a while to truly believe that this wasn't an Onion news story..

[Aanthanur]

do you have any evidence that the CO2 tax in my country goes to the rich people?

[ravagetime]

Forty-three million years ago Antarctica was covered in palm trees. Which begs the question, how did the plants get enough light in the winter months. My theory, the auroras were much brighter then. As for the warm climate, ExxonMobil and Pacificorp must have been thriving back then.

What would the climate be if humans weren’t here?
