Let's cut the crap. Does anyone actually believe in global warming?

Question

With all these deep freezes and snowstorms we have endured this winter, how can anyone believe that the world is warming up and getting toasty?

thedirtymike · Accepted Answer

Global warming is just an idea of a massive long term issue that could potentially be a really big issue one day but not in the near future. The reason it is suck a big deal is because it is an environmental problem brought up by governments around the world where the blame and cause for it is being put on the public’s fault. This is all for economic and political gain. For example, the U. S. government says we are the problem, if you live in California and your vehicle doesn’t have every one of many emission systems the you get a very expensive ticket and in some cases your vehicle gets impounded etc. So they force you have these emission reduction systems on every vehicle right. So now the price it is taking car mfg to build these vehicle goes up because they are having to add these expensive systems that actually are all proven to effect the overall performance, health, dirability, and safety of vehicles. So most people decide to invest in a new vehicle the closer it gets to 300k miles right. That’s because for so long everyone has always been told and taught that the average engine in every car is expected to have a lifespan of around 300k miles before you need to replace the engine or get a new vehicle. Well back in the 80s before there was any laws and requirements for having emissions systems or anything like that the average engine was expectancy was around 300k. And since there was no requirements for all of this extra stuff, vehicle mfg could make vehicles for a lot cheaper. So her is an example, in 1985 the MSRP for a 1985 Chevrolet half ton single cab base model pickup truck was $8,116. So you could but a brand new vehicle off of the showroom door for 8k and you expect that vehicle to get you around where you need to go reliably for around 300k miles. On avg a person travels around 12k miles a year. So $8k you could get a good reliable vehicle that you expect to last you the next 25 years give or take. Now days because of all of the current laws and requirements for emission systems that purposely damage the engine and effect the longevity of the engines, the average life expectancy of a CONSUMER PASSENGER AUTOMOBILE produced from 2020- current is 169,797 miles. Which at the same rate of 12k miles a year will last you just a little over 10 years give or take. Which for the average working class person it they will probably take anywhere from 4-6 years to finish paying for it which with interest could possibly almost double the total cost of the vehicle. Just as soon as you get it payed off you might get another 3 or 4 years out of it and then you have to start right over again. The reason I capitalized consumer passenger vehicle up above is because in until 2022 there were absolutely 0 emission laws set for semi trucks and 12 wheelers and other large freight vehicles. Even the laws that are in place currently are very very vague and lenient as compared to regular cars. And the average life expectancy of an 18 wheeler built before 2022 (which most were produced without and emission systems on them at all) is just right under 1 million miles at 927,000 miles. This is because the freight industry directly effect the economy, so the government wants it to be economically positive so it can benefit the economy and so they can make more money. So the biggest way to did is make the most important part, the trucks themselves, as efficient and as durable and as cheap to continually maintain. Meanwhile since the amount of money that you pay each year in taxes doesn’t make them as much as they save in the shipping industry, you now not only have to buy more of something that is forcefully being made to not work as long just so ultimately you are forced to pay more on taxes when having to purchase something expensive like a vehicle every 6- 10 years and then the taxes that come with financing it over a period of time and everything. They are doing to the automotive indistry the exact same thing they did to the light bulb. The lightbulb was perfected roughly 150 years ago with the oldest light bulb in the world that has continuously been on 24/7 for 124 years now ever since 1901. But all of these company’s that were making light bulbs back in the day realized that if they had made a bulb that lasted so long then everyone would only have to buy one bulb in their lifetime and it would only cost them a little under 100$. Even tho they cost a lot back the. That isn’t much for a bulb that you could turn on and never turn off and your kids wouldn’t even life long enough to watch it burn out. So they decided to start decreasing the effectiveness and durability of them so they could sell more and make more.
And the government blame cars and trucks for being the reason the ozone is dissipating but they build facility’s like the HARP antenna which literally direct focused high frequency energy into the atmosphere which is enough to effect natural elements on earth. Such as it controls and effect weather conditions, it changes the times and the activity of the northern lights.

Yes. Its an observable fact. Even the snow storms are a symptom of global warming. Global warming means that the climate is going to change, not always for the warmer but it might be drier, wetter, even colder in certain regions.

For example we have the polar vortex.

Let's cut the crap. Does anyone actually believe in global warming?

The polar vortex is basically a weather containment system that keeps cold and warm air separated and pushed up north and south towards the polar regions. What powers these two vortexes is the difference in temperature between the warm side and cold side. The bigger the difference, the more strongly the cold air is kept away.

However, during global warming the polar regions warms up faster than most other regions which means the temperature difference decreases. As such the polar vortex will weaken and allow cold winds to reach down and for example cover USA from time to time.

Basically, the weather is more complicated than you make it out to be and this is exactly what we would expect during global warming and part of why that is BAD because it costs us money and lives during natural disasters.

Of course.

Global warming must occur. The physics of it - basically, the Greenhouse Effect - are incontrovertible. Think of it like this: You put on a sweatshirt. Are you going to get colder? Nope. Summer or winter, you'll be warmer wearing the sweatshirt than if you don't wear it. That's what's going on: "Greenhouse gases", which are gases whose molecule has at least 3 atoms (and this includes carbon dioxide, CO2), that are continuously being added to the atmosphere are, collectively, the sweatshirt that Earth has put on.

In fact, the Greenhouse Effect was first predicted in 1896 - that's 1896, not 1996 - by Nobel Prize-winning physical chemist Svante Arrhenius.

On the Influence of Carbonic Acid
in the Air upon the Temperature of
the Ground
Svante Arrhenius
Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science
Series 5, Volume 41, April 1896, pages 237-276.

https://www.rsc.org/images/arrhenius1896_tcm18-173546.pdf

If you don't think the Greenhouse Effect is real, take a look at Venus. That planet is unbelievably hot because of all the carbon dioxide in its atmosphere.

Let's look at the numbers of the 3 innermost planets:
https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/

Distance from Sun in millions of km:
Mercury: 57.9
Venus: 108.2
Earth: 149.6

Intuitively, Mercury should be hotter than Venus and Earth should be cooler than both because of their distances from the Sun. But, that's not so with Venus.

Mean Temperature in degrees Celsius (in Kelvin):
Mercury: 167 (440.15)
Venus: 464 (737.15)
Earth: 15 (288.15)

So, even though Venus is 108.2/59.9 = 1.8 times as far as Mercury from the Sun, the mean temperature of Venus is 737.15/440.15 = 1.67 times hotter.

So how is it that Venus is hotter than hell?

The Greenhouse Effect due to CO2 dominating Venus's atmosphere.

And that's what's happening on Earth... We are putting more and more CO2 into the atmosphere and that is surely raising the average temperature of Earth.

The hottest year on record for multiple years was in the 1990s, now our hottest years on record have been every year in succession. 2022, 2023, 2024, and now 2025 is projected to beat those records too.

We know from data that Co2 in the atmosphere increased from the start of the Industrial Revolution because human beings were responsible for pumping ‘greenhouse gases’ into the air allowing for sunlight to be captured which heats up the planet Earth. Though it didn’t heat up the planet right away, as our population boomed & civilization became industrialized over agriculture we expanded our Co2 output which put harm to the planet Earth.

I want to say for the record, human beings put plastics in the ocean enough to make islands from them due to corporate greed making us use single use waste that never decomposes / breaks down in the wild, the amount of oil spills in the ocean ruining precious ecosystems due to corporate greed, and so much more…. Is it a shock that they would also harm our atmosphere too?

EPA in a dumbfounded move revoked the idea Co2 is harmful to public health when air pollution is high, the rate children are born with birth defects like asthma increases along with carbon monoxide poisoning can kill human beings without sufficient ventilation installed…. It is ludicrous to believe this brainwashed Administration.

You're a special MAGA aren't you? Climate change has different effects in different places.

The Green New Deal (GND) offers several economic benefits, including job creation, GDP growth, and long-term sustainability.

Job Creation: Estimates suggest that the GND could create or preserve around 1.9 million jobs over a four-year period, particularly in sectors like clean energy, infrastructure, and environmental restoration. GDP Growth: The GND is projected to contribute approximately $1.2 trillion to U. S. GDP during the same period, driven by investments in green infrastructure and technology.

Private Sector Growth: The policy could stimulate private sector activity by generating demand for clean energy technologies, energy-efficient goods, and other sustainable products and services.

Infrastructure Investments Investments in building efficiency and a national smart grid could boost GDP by $147 billion annually and create 1.1 million jobs in the first year.

Long-Term Savings: By mitigating climate change, the GND could reduce future costs associated with environmental disasters and health issues, potentially saving trillions annually.

Economic Stability: The GND aims to integrate environmental sustainability with economic stability, fostering a resilient economy that prioritizes equity and justice.

The payoffs are INFINITE the cost of doing nothing is INCALCULABLE.

Climate change has been happening for millions of years it's nothing new. Ok there may be dome truth to the fact that in recent decades us humans haven't exactly helped the situation by polluting the hell out of everything do yes we should try a bit harder to keep our environment clean but we had a record breaking breaking winter this year and I suppose that's why the environmentalists quit calling it global warming and changed it to climate change. It whole lot of malarkey. An excuse for a carbon tax grab.

lightbulb27 · Answer

planet always changing, sometimes horribly severe. it's happening it appears to some extent. cause... various. human activities related? Probably but which ones?

carbon emissions? Wars... cruise ships, power plants... chemicals?

drilling into the earth causing issues?

etcetc...

I don't know enough to be confident of any action that justifies chewing up the earth to make change. It's wise to diversify, value efficiency over $ in my view.

ride your bicycles like china used to do and we are better off. stop wars, stop making disposable junk... then have to drill into earth less... all be an improvement.

not convinced any of that would make a dent...

Well you can actually see it. You can pretend what you see it does not exist like with everything. They say Antarctica's Ice Is Melting fast and by 2100 India Will Drown By 2 Metre Rise. I know stupid americans probably might think "Well looks like India has a problem, then" without thinking where you think those  1.5 billion  people will go. How you house those people how you make sure everyone would have enough food.

Same thing when I was a kid. Documentary narrated by Leonard Nimoy on how we were just ten years from the tipping point triggering a new Ice Age. Followed by three hottest summers on record at the time.

It's always "within the decade" and we had ice age, ozone layer, acid rain, global warming, climate change and all we ended up with was higher taxes so the "problem" could be fixed.

The sea level had incrised that my country need to import sand to extend the beach.

Shiprex · Answer

Being cold doesn't detract from the phenomenon of global warming. More heat energy in the atmosphere means a lot of things at the same time happen. More violent and frequent flooding (evidence in Asia Europe and US) , more violent and frequent storms seen everywhere. And more extreme hot and cold which is also seen everywhere.

Bringing snowballs indoors and saying it's not warm in here is just dumb idiocy masquerading as "science ".

DryGermanGuy · Answer

Of course and its affects have been documented for decades now. Global warming doesn't mean heat everywhere and constantly, it means a steady rise in the average temperatures and an increasing risk of severe weather phenomenons (including massive snowfall!). As a personal story, in kindergarten and primary school age we had real winters with deep snow every year. Nowadays most winters have no snow at all and the alpine glaciers are getting smaller every year.

NicholasRedone · Answer

@nodecision sure I believe in the hole in the ozone layer - I really do. It's why I wear more sunscreen now than I ever used to as a kid in the backyard growing up - that sun is strong ☀️🌞 and it's because supposedly of that lack of ozone or the rotation of earth to the hole 🕳️

I do because climate is changing and it has always been changing. It´s a global phenomen not just area and the important measure is the temperature on average over the year. What´s rather questionable to me is the amount of impact humans on it.

no. not even those peddling the scam believe it. If they did, they all wouldn't have bought million dollar beachfront mansions just to have them be flooded in 10 years.

Staximus · Answer

About 56 million years ago there was a time geologists (not pseudo-scientists) refer to as the thermal maximum. There were palm trees and crocodiles above the Arctic circle for fuck's sake. The average temperature on earth was 93 degrees, compared to 60 degrees now. The earth was way hotter and we had an ice age before and after that. So so we know approximately jack shit when it comes to global warming.

Brady · Answer

On the news long ago they talkd about global warming. They said Park City, Utah was gettin less snow.

I no Salt Lake City, Utah had lots of snow in the 1980s, 90s, in the 21st century. But less aftr the 1980s. Very recently it hasn't got very much.

So mayb global warming impacted some areas. Did the area you're talkin about get a reduction in snow?

QuestionObsession · Answer

It is not just winters getting colder. Summers in Europe have become more and more searing.

Global warning is most likely a manipulation project aimed at population control in the next few decades. Everything possibly connects to HAARP.

Yes. Because it’s fact. Scientists may try in vain to predict how bad it is and are proven wrong. But the facts don’t change. Why are there so many migrants from the equator?

fish5505_87 · Answer

Yes. The question is not if it is happening, the earth is always heating up and cooling down over millions of years. We are in a warming period currently. The question is how much are we accelerating it.

There is no question Earth is warming. The only question is why. I don't buy the idea that humans are causing it since Earth has been cycling between hot and cold cycles since the beginning of time. The last ice age ended less than 12k years ago and the climate has been warming ever since. There were wooly mammoths right where I live in N America less than 10k years ago. Humans have lived here about 25k years. That shit is going to happen regardless of what we do or don't do.
