To emphasize how nasty and unlike normal volcanoes these events are through recorded history humans have only experienced one tiny flood basalt eruption the Laki fissure(Lakagígar) in Iceland(technically making it sort of connected to the NALIP ignoring that Iceland is two overlapping volcanoes the Mid Atlantic Ridge and the Iceland hotspot/mantle plume) This event was so microscopic compared to a real flood basalt eruption that it is hard to even compare them in scale and it had devastating impacts on humans across the planet due to the prodigious amount of volcanic gasses. We would be totally utterly F'd if one of these sorts of volcanoes erupted now(even if we weren't wrecking the planet entirely on our own).

The flood basalt flows of Washington, Idaho, and Oregon covered tens of thousands of square miles with flows averaging 30 feet deep. The lava "flooded" the landscape so many times that the weight was and still is pushing down on the continental plate. This caused the Columbia and Snake Rivers to move almost a hundred miles in different directions as it flowed around the lava. There were even flows that went from Idaho all the way through the Columbia River Gorge into the Portland area

Sadly Anton don't provide practical information about what we can do individually. It's pretty simple actually: 1) Don't vote for politicians without a plan for addressing climate change. 2) Start removing your biggest impacts as soon as practical. Example: If you regularly fly on vacation find new ways of relaxing. At least make it a goal to fly 20% less each year. Use collective traffic if at all practical. Make your next car fossil free. Start to eat less meat. One meat free day a week won't kill you. In a years time you'll discover that two meat free days aren't that big a deal etc. etc. Don't buy as much new clothes as you did last year. Cut it say 20%. Rinse and repeat. Until the rest of the population catches up with you, rest assured that you are part of the solution, not the problem :-) Our lives are going to be _different,_ not worse.

The higher sea levels in the PETM made plenty of pockets of land, that constrained the food supply of animals living in them, making it a necessity for them to be smaller in order to conserve energy and resources.

I liked the video, minus the acceptance of the selective science of the globalist fear mongering of climate change.

Our planet does regulate temperature naturally despite what we do.

The best we can hope for is cyanobacteria to takeover the acidified co2 rich oceans and fall to the bottom of the seafloor at a faster rate than normal but that'd trigger mass extinctions of certain sealife and some ocean fertilizing mechanism would be needed to support such a scale of phtyoplankton output. Frankly speaking I think the planet's forests would have been able to offset much of our co2 output but oh yeah we've decimated those... Our real dilemma is that we are attacking the environment's natural regulation mechanisms from basically every direction and at an unnatural rate.

If CO2 was released by volcanos, SO2 should have been also emitted by them. The latter one has a cooling effect. Does not this change the conclusion?

@michaeldeierhoi4096

This would be an important study to look into. Basically the CO2 produced by volcanoes or any sources stays in the atmosphere for a hundred years or more. SO2 on the other hand 50 % heavier than CO2 it will only stay in the atmosphere for a decade or so. Since it is continually replaced by the volcanic eruptions it will maintain at a high level. However because CO2 stays in the atmosphere for ten times as long it will accumulate over time. The net effect is a cooling of the atmosphere when the eruptions started, but as CO2 accumulates then the climate will start to warm more than it is cooling.

Woah.... Woah... How do we know the CO2 was released before the temperature spike?

@absalomdraconis

2 жыл бұрын

Most likely by measuring the two things in the same sediments- if I understand correctly, CO2 is usually measured via changes in CO2 in bubbles that are trapped in the sediments, while the temperature would be measured via the composition of those sediments. And yes, this can result in e.g. outgassing, but since the sediment has to have been put down at X time in order to trap the bubbles inside of it, that means that it should itself have been highly affected by the atmosphere _anyways,_ leading to the air in the bubble still being informative. The primary inconvenience is that it results in the actual measurements being relative instead of absolute, and thus we need to do a lot of both analysis and comparisons with sediments & trapped bubbles from the last hundred or so years to get the relative numbers adjusted into absolute numbers.

@ Sir Rather Splendid, according to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the pH of surface seawater is normally 8.2, but in recent years has declined to 8.1. Since the pH scale is logarithmic, not linear, a decline of 0.1 on the pH scale represents a 26% increase in the relative acidity of ocean water. I, for one, would not characterize a 26% increase in acidity of ocean water as "merely reducing their alkalinity".

You Mr Anton, is as awesome as always!

This is the Best and by far the most balanced climate video I’ve seen from you. A few statements you made were questionable, but not totally “out to lunch”. In general your arguments are well reasoned and actually well supported by the data I’m aware of…even if you did not give the source of it. I’m impressed cuz I’ve harshly criticized you on this issue in the past. You have been biased in the past; but for the most part, you have been absolutely fair minded in this clip, on this subject. I was equally impressed that you stated possible future changes over hundreds of years instead of the alarmists view of only a few to 10s of years. Cuz the truth is closer to triple digit numbers. In other words, there is still plenty of time to deal with this issue (just don’t want to ignore it). CO2 levels need to rise a great deal more before we are really in trouble because in reality the Earth is carbon starved at the moment. And we are only relieving that shortage. But continued massive release of CO2 over an extended period of time really could send us over the tipping point. Actually using viable alternative sources of energy (like safe nuclear) is a good thing. The use of solar in combination with better battery and storage technologies is a good thing that few can argue against unless that’s the only solution brought forward. Meanwhile, we must use fossil fuels to create these buffers and extend the time we have to develop efficient forms of these alternative energy production technologies.

So when regular people are attacked in their livelyhoods over the most trivial activities or uses of material to supposedly "save the planet"... Know this is a pretext for a massive move by an enemy, hostile ruling elite to empoverish and subjugate the general population done under the pretext of "saving the planet" and nothing else.

A volcano might have been able to start the spike, but it seems to me that a big kill event would cause a lot of life on Earth to be suddenly dead and start decaying, releasing a lot of the included CO2 into the atmosphere suddenly. Slowly afterwards, other life processes would remove that surge because photosynthesis is normally CO2 starved and so ends up accelerating carbon locking until atmospheric levels are brought back to normal level. Volcanos do stuff but biological systems do also.

I'd like to direct attention to the other danger side of the CO2 scale. In each of the last seven glacial maximums over the last 800 thousand years CO2 dropped to well below 200ppm. In the last glacial maximum (20KYA) 180ppm. At 670KYA it looks to be down below 170ppm. 150ppm CO2 marks the Death Zone for plants, below which they cannot survive. Same as a human on Everest without bottled O2. Plants are the basis of the entire food chain for all life on earth. I'd posit that since we are IN an Ice Age and have been for 2.6 million years (The Quaternary Ice Age) in my opinion life long term is also in danger from not enough CO2. And, posit that we manage CO2 back up to the 1000-1200 ppm level. It's what greenhouse operators artificially create inside to make plants grow fast and strong, with NO harmful effects to people. A buffer zone at each end of the CO2 range.

Even doubled to 800ppm would be like a free casino buffet for plants. CO2 was in the 400-500ppm range before the beginning of the current Quaternary Ice Age (2.6 Million Years ago) CO2 has dropped slowly since with each successive glaciation towards that plant "Danger Zone".
