Global Warming: An Inconvenient History

Ғылым және технология

This is the story of how we discovered the planet was warming, and why. Learn the building blocks of climate science with Brilliant: www.brilliant.org/simonclark
The climate crisis is caused by a build up of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, which traps energy and raises the planet's average temperature. This was discovered over the course of 200 years by a large cast of chemists, physicists, geologists, and other scientists. Some of them you may know, such as Joseph Fourier and Charles Keeling, but many of them are less well known. This video tells the remarkable story of men and women like Eunice Foote, Roger Revelle, Guy Callendar, and James Croll. But there's still more to be told! If you would like to see part 2 of the story, focusing on the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, let me know in the comments.

    My niece was a NASA climate scientist in the oceanographic research. She and her team set up the metrics, data collection, and replaced insufficient methods with technology and satellites, all that good stuff. Then the collected data, a lot of data, and grinding through it. Then in 2021 it became so political that goals were buried and seminars seemed like important things rather than data. Grants dried up and now she teaches 8th grade. Seems climate change requires confirmation of what the administration says. Her comment on the popular opinion on climate?

    All the math in the universe is worthless if the baseline you're working from is incorrect. Deep history is always ignored by the "pro-warming" crowd of scientists intent on receiving government funding. What was the cause of the bubonic plague in (approx) the 14th century? Look into it (1303 ad)... that's what we want again? Take the average CO2 levels over the last Billion years... the "recorded" temperature figures (18th-19th centuries) are thoroughly inadequate. The proper data can be (are) obtained from deep ice cores in each pole, and deep ocean cores as well. We are (and have been) at dangerously LOW levels of atmospheric CO2 for a very long time at ~400 ppm. Here's one for the "mathematicians"... How much CO2 is required for plants to SURVIVE, let alone thrive? Answer: 190 ppm - drop below that and all but two plant species die off... Maize (corn) and Sugar Cane will survive until atmospheric levels drop below 170 ppm... after which all fauna will also perish. Stop frightening our kids. They are fauna, as we are. They have enough problems to deal with. Atmospheric CO2 is the battery of life. We need MORE not less... the Earth's battery is almost depleted. Burning "fossil" fuels is the ONLY WAY to recharge the Earth's battery for life. Figure it out people - for your kids! .

    Unfortunately for Gore and the climate loons before Revelle died he made the statement that carbon dioxide had as much effect on the climate as him spitting out of the window. Gore tried to pass this off as the ramblings of a demented senior but he was sued for defamation and lost after Revelle's family said his mind was sharp up until he died. Revelle's interest in atmospheric CO2 was a contract from the US Navy to study how atmospheric carbon dioxide would impinge on the IR missiles of their fighter jets not initially die to any interest in the science.Högbom and Arrhenius both conveniently ignored the fact that prior to the widespread use of coal, humans had been burning wood and lightening whole forests and that ruminants had been putting methane into the atmosphere both of which activities diminished significantly with the adoption of fossil fuels. More significantly they ignored Croll's work on the impact of inclination and precession on where heat falls on the Earth and is absorbed into the oceans so affecting the balance of CO2 between ocean and atmosphere. It was a good example of making a theory fit the selected facts not facts being the basis of theory. Keeling picked the two most extreme places to measure CO2 that are subject to errors - on top of a volcano in Hawaii in a part of the Pacific Ocean where CO2 emission is affected by ENSO and in Antarctica rather than the Arctic where absorption is depends on the deep return of the Gulf Stream and its temperature that in turn depends on the on-ice cover. Their successors continue the practice of using biased data by measuring temperatures at the end of runways and in areas dominated by the Urban Heat Island effect. All this bias shows up in the IPCC projection that fail to reproduce even the biased temperature data of the past thirty years.

    CO2 is the primary determinate of the climate and global average surface temperature for the entire Phanerozoic Era. There is no other factor which explains the thermal dynamics. "Urban Heat Island" is silly. This has been compensated out of the data for decades. With the availability of satellite data, this is a trivial and now inconsequential non-issue. Keelings choice of Mauna kea is not problematic, as the data collection is at over 12,000 feet, and the active fissures and caldera is 7,000 feet below and miles away. Besides it's not continuously erupting and the amount of CO2 volcanos produce it minuscule compared to the concentrations in the atmoaphere and tiny compared to human sources. Antactica is better choice than the Arctic as almost all industrial output is in the northern hemisphere and therefore is more likely to be skewed toward higher concentrations. To be conservative, the southern site was chosen since the Hawaiian site was in the northern hemisphere.

    In the Cambrian period, there were no thermoregulating mammals in existence. There apparently were NO LAND DWELLING ANIMALS. It was NOT "life-promoting" in the Cambrian if you weren't a marine creature, like a sponge or a crab. The predictions made by REAL SCIENTISTS who weren't paid by fossil fuel and chemical magnates have been almost universally supported by outcomes. The shills and "popular press" have been dismal in their estimates of future outcomes. The political pollution has been almost unilaterally promoted by business and financial interests and their paid-for political whores for purely crass and venal reasons. Yes, it is now too late. So, Deniers win.... there is no reason to struggle anymore. No need to spend money or change your behavior or motivations. UNLESS you realize that you have to do SOMETHING during the final act of humanity, and it may as well be a right thing that you find satisfying, without regard to outcomes. You have to do SOMETHING during this era, so do something good. At the very least, don't make things worse. Try to engineer a departure with dignity while minimizing suffering. By the age of 12 or so, we all learn that we will personally become extinct at some time. Then we learn that the average tenure of mammal species is about a million years and we have been here something like 300,.000 to maybe a million years, depending on which style of hominid we accept into our family, how we choose to define ourselves. So, it's no surprise that we are here. One way or another, you're doomed. Deal with it.

    There was NO land dwelling animal life in the Cambrian.... ONLY in the seas. None of the crustal structures were the same as today.... there were no Alps, Apennines, Andes, Cascades, Rockies, Himalayas. The continents were in completely different positions on the Earth. There was NONE but a little annual ice, maybe. For most of the era, no ice. None of the major rivers of today existed. Ocean currents were different. For all intents and purposes, this was a different planet, not even close to the Earth we evolved on. We could not have lived on Earth in the Cambrian, it was far too hot....... in part BECAUSE OF THE HIGH CO2 concentration. You make MY case for me. So, that comparison is completely inconsistent with your contention. Try again.

    There is a large body of scientists (they must not be government funded) that disagree with these conclusions on the basis of these points. First temperature measurement has significant inaccuracies that dwarf the claimed increases in temperatures (measuring devices / micro climates / methods of measurement / selection of measurement data to get included in the average). 2. The effectiveness of CO2 as a greenhouse gas. The models create estimates of that function, but that driver is created through the "observed" increases in temperatures. In other words the models are ordained with a predetermined conclusion that CO2 is the cause - but its effectiveness as a greenhouse gas on climate has never been demonstrated. 3. Climate Modeling is wholly inadequate and has not correctly predicted any change in climate. 4. Time windows are always picked that ignore massive previous shifts in earth temperatures warming and cooling where CO2 was not a factor. In other words warming/cooling has happened a lot in the past well before there was a human factor and the current warming if there is any is just a part of a longer term trend. Hot or Not: Steven Koonin is a good resource. PS NOTHING predicts a chatostraphic outcome in fact the UN Models predice worst case by the end of the century (75 years from now) a 3% impact to Global GDP.

    The summer of 1932 set new highs we've not hit again. Temperatures have been declining very slightly since 2014. The models have failed to predict accurately, cloud formation, solar variability, gama ray flux (solar & extra solar) axial tilt, and long time-scale orbital eccentricity changes (beyond 3 body problem & have far larger effects than greenhouse gasses). Urban heat island effect is real and significant for urban populations. CO2 is a logarithmic greenhouse effect, so as CO2 increases a given quantity, its effect is smaller than that of the previous quantity of increase. Humans are not responsible for the large majority of CO2 as this comes from the oceans. Recently, we've found that oceanic abysal plane volcanos and vents are more frequent and in higher numbers. One of the largest volcanic explosions occurred deep in the Pacific a couple of years ago. This and the fact that the error on temperature readings is +/- 1.1 degrees C means these models are very suspect.

    Of course humans have an impact on the earth's climate but the main driving force behind climate change is explained with the Milankovitch Cycles; changing orbit of the earth around the sun, change in tilt of the earth's axis, etc. And changes in solar radiation are also an important factor. Fun fact is that with the increase of CO2 and nitrogen in our atmosphere and the global warming, the earth has actually become 15% greener than it was a couple of decades ago.

  • @rps1689

    Then you know that changes in solar irradiance and the Milankovitch Cycles are currently in cooling phases and have been for hundreds of years and for hundreds of year to come, so they can’t account for the current global warming, which is happening at an unnaturally fast rate, because it is being driven by a manmade forcing more powerful than the current natural known forcings. Yes, the planet is greening as predicted by climate science. Also most of the global greening is due to China’s and India’s mega tree planting programs, but it would take four times more land than exists on this planet with new trees on it keep up the current rate of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, and most of that land would require irrigation with fresh water. Increased CO2 in the atmosphere causes increased cellulose production hence more tonnage of certain crops, but no increase in nutritional value. Current rate of global warming brings a loss of global biodiversity and favours weeds over crops. Crop yields are good nowadays due to technology even in global CO2 levels of 421 ppm, but we can’t produce the protein per acre like we used to. When food is grown at elevated CO2 levels in fields, it becomes less nutritious and lose significant amounts of zinc and iron plus grains lose protein. Because of this you need more fields to produce more volumes to make this up and more greenhouses, as you decrease the amount of protein you can produce per acre. We are already seeing major crops like rice, wheat, corn and even soybeans becoming less productive where average mean temps have increased slightly in the last ten years. Rice is also becoming less nutritious in high CO2 conditions. That being said we know that plants can acclimatize or adjust to rising CO2, but the fertilization effect of CO2 diminishes over time. In a greenhouse this is not a problem because they have excellent soil, optimal amounts of water, and controlled temps.

    @@rps1689 Solar irradiance is currently actually higher than before. The effect of the Milankovitch cycles takes quite some time to notice. Peak of our current warm period as by the Milankovitch cycles was about 7000 years ago and since the different cycles run between 40.000 and 100.000 years we're still feeling the effect of that. It'll take another couple of 1000's of years before we start experiencing the cooling effect of being in the cooling down phase of these cycles. Most of the greening of the earth is due to plants now being able to grow where they weren't able to grow before, i.e. in harsh environments. Due to higher temperatures they can now grow in previously frozen areas like permafrost areas. Due to an increase in CO2 plants don't have to open their pores as much to be able to capture enough CO2. Having to open those pores less means they don't have as much water evaporating which means they can now grow in warm areas where they weren't able to grow before. The fact that crops have less nutritions nowadays is not as much due to higher levels of CO2 but due to our crops largely having been genetically modified to grow faster giving them less time to accumulate those nutritions. They did a nice test which shows that fact by putting up two cobs of corn for squirrels , one of which was genetically modified (the corn, not the squirrel). Guess which one got eaten. Yes, changes in climate affect the biodiversity. They always have and always will. About 90% of all known previous life on earth has become extinct over time and other forms of life have come to life because of it. That's what we call nature. And like I said, of course we humans have an impact on the climate but not as much as the Milankovitch cycles which cause ice ages (which we don't). If you look at data going back 150 years the weather hasn't become more extreme, there aren't more hurricanes or heat waves (global average temperature is only 0,5C higher than 50 years ago) and the sea level has only risen by on average 1 inch per decade. BTW, in the last warm period (about 130.000 years ago) sea levels were about 5 meters higher than they are now. They have also been much lower during ice ages (up to 100 meters lower). So even sea levels are a cycle. The main problem is that we are a large population and have build houses and other structures all over the place and when for instance a hurricane hits, the damage is big, there is a lot of suffering and it is all over the news. So it seems as if things are worse than say 100 years ago whereas they aren't. The models predicting the future as far as global warming goes are way off, on average by a factor 2 yet nobody seems interested in rectifying that problem. Why? Because the powers that be like to present us with problems, with crisis and then offer us a solution. Usually a solution that involves us spending money and limiting our freedom.

This is the guy that lied about climate’s sensitivity to CO2, lies about GHGs, lies about internal variability, lies about the effect of climate change on agriculture, lies about the cooling affect of aerosols and the planets inertia in order to argue that the rate of increase over the last century ins nothing to worry about, lies about the occurrence of weather disasters in the past, lies about the dominant forcings, lies about rural and regional temperatures, ignores most recent satellite data, doesn’t tell you that a climate scientist that becomes a flack for the fossil fuel industry makes much much more money than the top leading working scientist in the world do, lies about the recent global temps that are unprecedented in the last one thousand years, he also knows that temperature adjustments are made in order to render raw data more accurate, but because of political reasons, doesn’t tell you, and lied about there being a consensus about a future global ice age in science especially in the 1970s; and the list goes on. I'm all too familiar with how he uses his usual distortions with misleading graphs to distort samples of emissions from satellite data by visual trickery. Not surprising from a guy that exacerbates Model-Data discrepancy and lies about TLT measurements saying they are made by a single satellite then fails to tell his audience that measurement instruments don’t have lifetimes of 34 years, which is why the splicing together the measurements from various different satellite instruments is done. Are you familiar with the outdoor field studies in Japan and China, growing different strains of rice in air under the same atmospheric concentration of CO2 that is predicted for the year 2100? They found the rice grown in these conditions had substantially less 1 vitamin B1 , B2, B5 and especially B9 (folate) than rice grown under current CO2 concentrations. When the most powerful physical forcings at the time are cyclic, then the climate's response is cyclic. When there's a one time forcing, the climate change happens once. The last few glacial periods in the Pleistocene were synchronous with the 105,000 year precession cycle. They're in a cooling phase right now yet we are not in a global cooling trend due anthropogenic warming; the current rapid increase in CO2 is manmade. All numerical models are “wrong” per se, which Includes the models we use to design spacecraft and chips that work right the first time. They are “wrong” because correctness is a matter of degree, not a binary on or off thing. These models in the hands of experts who understand their limitations deliver useful results. Everybody knows the CMIP5 and 6 models run hot, but that doesn't mean they're worthless. The observations have been inside the projection cones for fifty years. The models are right enough. We know it is a fact that Spencer/Christy UAH satellite set has been hyped by conservative and “skeptic” media, as if it were the only reliable data set and that Spencer/Christy were the only reliable scientists, more than anything else because their data set at one point diverged so widely from most of the others, but they are largely in alignment, indicating that mainstream climate science has been right all the time.

    This is truth. CO2 is a small consideration. it's a factor, but a minor one. The really hard part about predicting climate using milankovitch cycles is that the motion of the planet is an extraordinarily complex equation of the pull of gravities of a near infinite number of bodies in the heavens, combined with the oscillations of position of the earth as compared to the sun, combined with the complex absorption and radiation of Ocean, Clouds, and earth on a mostly circular surface and if that weren't enough complexity, with the motions of the atmosphere and oceans, further complicated by the movements of the planets and the changing magnetic poles of the earth. We can't predict our weather at a point in more than two or three days. Why would we have the hubris to think we can predict ice ages and climate years, and scores of years into the future ???? It's insane to think we could model this level of complexity, and the proof is in the observations.

    As so often in theories of people who propagate the co2 story, this promotion does not mention the (also by scientists) so-called Little Ice Age. A (with fluctuations) cool period of about 400 years, which ended about halfway through the 19th century. The glaciers in the Alps reached their maximum over a period of 3000 years in 1859. This study included several alpine glaciers and they all showed the same pattern. No wonder people began to experience the weather milder at the beginning of the 20th century. Since there were hardly any meteorological temperature measurements before the mid-19th century, these glaciers are very important proxy for an indication of the climate during the past 3000 years. The study also shows huge fluctuations over that 3,000-year period. The period about 2000 years ago during the Roman period is striking. A period of several centuries when the glaciers were so small and receded that they were virtually non-existent and therefore smaller than today. But during the Little Ice Age, Iceland was usually inaccessible to shipping during the winter months because it was surrounded by sea ice. The settlers in New England also had a hard time, because at that time frosts in June or July often destroyed the crops in the fields. This is known from chronicles of that time. The settlers could make do with hunting, which the common European people could not do, because here there was still a feudal system in which the people had to hand over the harvest to the elite. The common people could not/were not allowed to hunt, it was regarded as poaching. As a result, massive famine with attendant debilitation, disease, and early death. The average life expectancy in 1800 was 45 years. It is known from chronicles that children in the Alps began to eat grass out of sheer misery and hunger. It is widely believed that this miserable condition was part of the cause of the French Revolution. The Little Ice Age is, of course, not a true Ice Age. (but got that name) Nor the "past ice ages" mentioned in this video. These are glacials within the Ice Age. We are now in an interglacial in an ice age. Because as long as there are ice caps on Earth, we are still in an ice age.

There is a reason why global warming is not estimated in in degrees per decade; it is estimated in watts per square meter or total watts, which we know you have no clue why thus your nonsense about thermometers. If you or anyone else can show that the methods used to determine the increase in global mean temp can be dismissed, you'll be the next rock star in applied physics and rich to boot.

What physical evidence supports the contention that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are the principal cause of global warming since 1970? Evidence of warming is not evidence of the cause of warming. From the very beginning the underlying assumptions in the UN IPCC process presumed - without establishing scientific evidence - that anthropogenic activity was driving “global warming” which was subsequently modified to “climate change” after the global temperature “pause”. In the 17 years 11 months from October 1996 to August 2014 why was there no global warming at all, according to the RSS satellite dataset, whose output is not significantly different from that of any other global-temperature dataset.

    The problem with much of the science around CO2 is that it has always failed to factor in biomass - and continues to do so. So ocean acidification will release CO2 back into the atmosphere, but at the same time Coccoliths will absorb that carbon (via algae) and concert it to calcite, which (in turn) is deposited on the seabed and eventually becomes chalk. Geological features like the chalk cliffs at Dover, were created as a direct consequence of the massive increases in CO2 levels at the end of the Cretaceous (caused by the eruption of the Deccan Traps in what is now India).

    Very well presented - thank you. I began to research the link between CO2 and temperature rise in the early nineties. At the time there were many detailed meteorological studies and studies of ice cores, which showed no link, at least at the scale of the atmosphere, between CO2 and temperature rise. If there were even a slight link, it was that temperature rise precedes an increase in CO2 levels over a period of 800 or so years. Sadly, the demonisation of CO2 has become dogma, and no debate is permitted. CO2 is a trace gas, 0.038% of the atmosphere. At this level, it cannot have any influence on global temperatures, I would argue (though it may be different in a vessel full of CO2, when heated). We must allow debate to resurface on this, because we're about to plunge ourselves into a dystopian future of restricted food, energy and consequent poor public health. After all, CO2 is plant food and for plants, 380 parts per million is pretty low - some argue practically starvation level. Science is a method of systematic observation of the real world in order to draw tentative conclusions, always allowing those conclusions to be scrutinised. Science is not an oracle of wisdom, but it's the best system we have and we shouldn't abuse it with crass assertions such as 'the science is setttled'. That should never be the case. Climates do change! 12,000 years ago, there was an ice age. Now there isn't (although the period we find ourselves in is called an interglacial, somewhat worryingly). That is a rather simple statement, but it is an observation and can be debated. We must not rush headlong in any direction (unless there's an asteroid headed our way!), lest we engender untold misery for little or no reason. We now have a new term - 'climate emergency'. Emergencies are a brilliant way to shut down debate. We have been presented with many questionable emergencies over the past 30 years and all have fizzled away to nothing, but have led to restrictions on our freedoms, if you think about it... This worries me far more than the latest worrying concern.

    I'm 71 and live in Southern California. I've also travelled all over the world. I haven't noticed anything different (by much) in all those years. It gets hot in the summer, which doesn't last nearly long enough, and cold in the winter, which is annoying and seems to go on forever. In the 1970's all they talked about was the coming of the next Ice Age. Meanwhile, Las Vegas still lingers between 115 and 120 in the July-August (like it did in the 1970's), and the hottest recorded temperature on earth is still 134.1 degrees, set in 1913 at Furnace Creek in Death Valley. Glaciers in the north still exceed and recede, and Antarctica hasn't changed at all, with penguins constantly searching for the warmest areas to park themselves. We're currently going through a cool summer here in Southern California, something I've experienced twice in my life. We worry about what gasses humans produce, while volcanoes all around the planet (both above and below the water) spew out endless amounts of CO2 (and other stuff). Gore and others have made millions promoting their hysteria, while I sit here in mid-July waiting for it to get hot enough to go out to the pool. For farmers, summer is when food grows. Winter time?

And I sayit in another comment, but I would satate here too. I'm currently at end of July in north Spain. We were used to 25~28 ºC. Last week we reach 38ºC. And that could prove global warming the same way that the contrary cannot disprove it. Localized events have nothing to do with global warming. The fact that I'm having a really warm experience is irrelevant for this discussion. The same way that if I was having the coldest summer of my life wouldn't matter to global warming.

That number included 170,000 in the US alone. There are many more scientific studies detailing the negative impact that global warming/climate change is having on human health and mortality, the environment, and even the economy. So while you may be attracted to purveyors of misinformation and outright lies, the scientific community continues to do real research and their findings are continuing to verify the original scientific consensus that global warming/climate change is a real threat and is getting worse each year.

While CO2 does trap some infrared, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere combined with the fact that water vapor traps a wider range of infrared radiation causes CO2 to be a quite minor contributor to the 'greenhouse effect'.

    Nice work. I look forward to hearing about the 70-90's I remember in the 80's how we were told we would not be able to walk outside by the 2000's due to the fact that there would be no ozone (because of humans) and our skin would melt off due to all the acid rain that was going to be everywhere (because of humans). Seeing as we have only recorded weather for about 100yrs and only accurately for the past 30, we know there are 50yr storms and 100yr storms... it is speculated that there are 500 and 1000yr storms... it seems a little arrogant to think we understand the global weather cycles that can span 10s of thousands of years... but I have an open mind and wish to hear more on what we know at this point.

    If you go back 18,000 years in human history, where I live in NH was under a mile of ice. As late as 15,000 years ago the sea levels were 200 feet lower than today - that's an average rise of 9 inches a century. 8,000 years ago, the Sahara desert was grasslands and forests. 1,000AD was called the 'mediaeval warm period' with world temps over 1 degree hotter than average now. it was followed by the 'Little Ice Age' from 1500-1900AD and then this manmade catastrophe of Global Warming. Obviously, the Earth has warmed significantly in recorded history, and it cant all be explained by CO2 emissions. Humans DO tend to think that we are the cause of everything unusual. Hundreds of years ago, civilizations would perform ritual sacrifices when a comet or lunar eclipse occurred, because we didn't know what was going on and blamed ourselves. So, given the wild temperature swings that we have seen in the last 20,000 years, how can we be so positive we are to blame for climate change?

    Very interesting and informative. Another inconvenient truth is that as global warming became a topic of study, we learned that the climate of earth was much more complicated than had been formerly realized. So many factors other than CO2 were at play. Actual climate study is a relative new science compared to other fields of study. Currently there is an amazing amount of data being produced every year. As we move forward, ideas that have been considered as fact are many times found to not be true. One of the most important truths in science is that the more you learn, the more you realize what you don’t know. Absolutely nothing in science is carved in stone. This an important fact to remember.

    The old and stupid statement of winter death rates. Although it is true that the death rate is higher in the winter than in the summer, the reason isn’t due to people freezing to death. It’s due to the diseases like a common cold kills people that are at late stages in cancer or are of old age. And the winter and cold season will not go away by increasing the average temperature by a couple of degrees. As I experience living relatively far north the lack sunlight in the winter leads to more depression amongst a population which also can have an effect on the death rate. But how will we get more sunlight by increasing the temperature by a couple degrees? As the tilt of the earth is the reason for little sunlight in the winter, how will global warming change the tilt?

    @@RodMartinJr How do you know that the weather will become calmer? Science says the opposite. Just Google: climate change and its effect on the weather, etc. Regarding the Sahara dessert. The explanation lies in the changes in the Earth's orbital wobble around the sun, the so-called Milankovitch Cycles. But these are changes over milleniums. (Yes, it is milleniumS in plural.) You can Google Sahara and Milkanowich Cycles too. So I guess the question from me would be: How can the increase in temperature affect the global wobble? And finally, a little fun fact that I almost hesitate to write because non-scientific people might misinterpret it. Plants need less water with more CO2 in the air. The reason is that plants lose water through the same pores in their leaves that they use to take in CO2, and with more of this gas in the air, they can keep the pores closed for a longer period. This phenomenon has been known to science long before global warming was a topic. We do have observed that some border areas around deserts have become greener, but this development has already stagnated because plants still have a minimum water requirement. Don't fall for claims that CO2 is plant food. Remember that for plants to utilize CO2, they also need more nutrients from the soil and more sunlight (photosynthesis), and so on. How do plants get more nutrients if there is more rainfall washing away the soil? How do we get more sunlight when it rains more? After all, it's cloudy when it rains. Earth's balance is more complex than what the simple reasoning here suggests: Nice weather equals warm weather, so warmer weather must equal nicer weather.... or?

    The point of a video like this is to make it sound like the science behind CO2 and global warming is simple and obvious. (Which would on the other hand make further climate research unnecessary, which Greta Thunberg has correctly pointed out.) In reality it is not all that simple. The greatest hole in the narrative comes when it is first stated as a fact that CO2 is the gas that keeps planet Earth warm. Then later on it is mentioned that water vapor is also a greenhouse gas. And that is true, because water vapor is by far Earth's most important greenhouse gas.

    Compared with the small locales where CO2 is measured, and the tiny masses of gas being analyzed, the Earth's atmosphere is several orders of magnitude greater. SO, it's a fair question to ask - is what is actually measured, precision notwithstanding, actually significant in the larger context. A good argument can be made that such restricted measurements are little more than ' noise '. And so that whole debate was initiated and continues to rage.

Also, if you did the math on ocean acidification sans buffering, the oceans would’ve been a pH of 5 in the 70s and 3 or 4 today, inhospitable to life. And the reverse would be true as well, lower CO2 in ice ages sans buffering would have resulted in inhospitably alkaline oceans. If they gave it even a shred of thought….

    So if I have the conclusion correct, the temperature from 1960 to 1980’s has risen globally by 0.2 degrees C which was within the normal variability of the climate data then. Then you draw a line to predict the future from there?. Is it standard scientific practice to draw a conclusion from results that are within normal variability parameters?. I would question this conclusion. The fact that the amount of CO2 continues to rise after this is a significant finding, but has this now been proven to be related to hydrocarbons, as this video suggests, but looks like a correlation and not actually proven. Can someone point me to the data from 1980 to date so I can prove to myself that global warming is actually happening and it is not just a part of a bigger climate cycle that is occurring naturally ( eg related to the earths wobble that happens over thousands of years ) to base your whole climate change calculations which are complex and must include amount of radiation from the sun I would postulate must be included. This wobble has a massive impact on the amount of heat received from the sun , and 100 years of data considering the timescale humans have been on the planet is way to small of a timescale to draw any conclusions without a huge amount of data of a lager timescale. For that reason I am not yet convinced, but I am willing to be if good data is available 😊

I have seen it argued that the correlation between increased temperature and atmospheric CO2 is actually a result of: as the earth warms, the amount of CO2 that the oceans can absorb decreases. So it is increased temp causing increased atmospheric CO2, not the other way around.

    It is rather simple. CO2 and other greenhouse gases reflect thermic radiation back to earth and reduce the thermic radiation to space.

    Water vapor is a GHG as effective as CO2 according to GHG Theory. There is 50 times as much water vapor in the atmosphere as CO2.

    @@msimon6808 But it precipitates out relatively quickly, meaning that any shift in water vapour concentration is very short-lived. Thus, it responds to and amplifies the warming effect of longer-lived GHGs (like CO2 and CH4), without itself being a forcing. This has all been extensively studied and is well-integrated into the mainstream understanding of atmospheric physics.

    @@byrongsmith Yes of course. Going from 50 times as much to only 45 times as much is going to make a HUGE difference? What about when it goes from 50 to 55 times as much? Besides the Earth handles the variations the same way mathematicians do. Integration. Unsteadiness is no longer the difficult mathematics problem it was 600 years ago. Mathematicians can now do it almost as well as the earth can. It is difficult to cover up an order of magnitude or two with hand waving.

    @@byrongsmith Uh. No. If a joule of heat evaporates x amount of water vapor, it does not matter if the heat came from water vapor or CO2. I keep seeing the hand waving you propose being presented. It is an obfuscation. It does not negate elementary physics. If heat from CO2 causes water vapor to increase so does heat from water vapor. Mathematically it is solved by integration. Which is effectively what the Earth does with all the little bits.

    Did industrialisation bring any positives like a longer life span, better health, clean drinking water? If it did, will focusing on eliminating carbon dioxide cause de-industrialisation and a reduction in its benefits. Shouldn't we be rather concentrating on balancing the pros and the cons of fossil fuels? I don't believe that renewables are a panacea. I don't believe net-zero is achievable without doing economic harm. I do believe a that a reduction in use and responsible use of fossil fuels is a better plan. We need to get away from the political idea of either/or.
