Sea levels have gone up almost a foot in the last 150 years. Four inches in the last 20 years alone!

Move up the hill before it's too late!

Too many variables to predict the future climate. It is, however,pretty obvious that we have serious issues with overpopulation and pollution.

overpopulation and pollution.

To many "fucking" people fucking everything up.

Thanks for reminding me. I just noticed Santa Cruz sea level was 4 inches higher.

Se does not rise the oceans are at peak level. When more water from rivers, run off, icemelt, and storms dumps water on the ocean. All of the weight of the new water on top pushes the water at the bottom of the ocean deeper into the Earths crust.

If not for this the sea level would be hundreds of thousands of miles above Mt Everest by now.

Water is always seeking the Earth's gravity center, that center is not the top of the ocean.

Once the water gets to the crust, it pushes the oil up into reservoirs, replenishing our reserves. Rain is just God's tears caused by the homos and trannys making God sad. Liberals can't handle the truth.

Well how in the hell do you think water is getting in rivers and pushed up to the peaks of mountains?
Where do you think all of the water for the glaciers come from? It's not just pack snow alone.

OK, They say California has the 5th largest economy in the world right? So why does California have massive climate change regulation when they produce only 1% of the worlds pollution? You read that right 1%. you can google these facts up fast.

Depends.
You could say: "here's the earth, more CO2 means more heat absorbed in the atmosphere. Heat must go somewhere. "
How many factors is that?

" From the coldest part of the last ice age (roughly 20,000 years ago) to present, global sea level has risen an astounding 120 metres."

Yup it sure does it gets blown out into space via the upper atmosphere electromagnetic explosions.
Check them out during the Winter months they create Polar Vortexes.

IT'S THE SUN.

We are lucky to live on a planet that is good for human inhabitation. If it floods we will move up the hill. If it gets too hot we can move to a higher latitude. Hopefully it wont get too warm or flooded but at this rate overpopulation (doubled in my lifetime) and pollution (much caused by too many people) are the problems we should be addressing.

Catastrophic AGW is a scam.

" From the coldest part of the last ice age (roughly 20,000 years ago) to present, global sea level has risen an astounding 120 metres."

Roughly 20,000 years ago much of Earth's water was tied up in Glacier ice.

Also there's been some geological shifting of some coast lines. Landslides account for a lot of coastline disappearing.

Like when Geologist point over a vast expanse of a desert mountain range and say..."This all used to be a swamp and part of a huge river system"
That's partly true, but it was also part of a totally unrelated land, no where near Wyoming, and Wyoming didn't even exist yet. The surrounding land to that sea bed he's pointing at came from several long lost ecosystems from different times.

That's millions of years, coast lines move over 20,000 to some degree, it's just how the Earth rolls.

That would depend on how you count the emissions. Are you counting emissions from producing all of the crap that people in CA buy? Are you counting emissions from power plants in other states that export power to CA? Onvacation says

Onvacation says

IT'S THE SUN.

Onvacation sounds a bit like Ironman.
Step 1: The sun provides radiation that warms the earth.
Step 2: The earth radiates energy back into space (to other objects in space).
Step 3: CO2 and other gases in the atmosphere traps some of that radiation and sends energy back to earth.

Some people get trapped in Step 1, and cannot see any further.

Some people get caught up in the propaganda and think co2 will cause a nuclear meltdown like runaway effect. They neglect or willfully ignore all of the other factors that create climate.

This is your straw man. Nobody is using those terms. My comment and many many others like it show how stupid your "It's the sun" proclamation is. The real question is why anybody would make such a statement, and then run away when somebody points out how flawed it is. You cannot defend the indefensible so you just accuse unnamed others of making statements that they never made.

So if it is not the sun what does heat the earth?

24   anonymous   2017 Aug 4, 8:09pm  

Gentle Reader,

Humans proved that the atmosphere can change by releasing CFC refrigerant. We were dumping quite a bit, but not THAT much. Still, it damaged the ozone layer. Humans are dumping a huge amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. Many, many times more CO2 than CFC. CO2 prevents all of the daytime heat from radiating back into space. Now, this is warming the planet, but it is not the only risk. Once the atmospheric H2O content begins to rise, and it seems to be doing that, then we are really screwed. Bad, bad stuff. Water is the primary greenhouse gas for our planet, and we really don't want the concentration of gaseous H2O to increase. We may be already be committed to 2 degrees C at the dawn of the 22nd century. 80 years.

We don't have long to fix this. 80 years.

Regards,
Roidy
P.S. I have children, nephews, and nieces, and I wish them to grow up to live a long and healthy lives. We must begin using more nuclear and renewables. Now.

If co2 was the cause of cataclysmic AGW wouldn't there be more correlation between co2 levels and temperature?

28   Onvacation   2017 Aug 5, 3:46am  

I started this thread because I think that AGW has been way overblown. The world and humanity has a lot of problems but AGW is down the list in importance. One degree of temperature and a foot of water over the last 150 years is not a big deal. Quadrupling of the population over the same time period is a bigger problem.

29   FNWGMOBDVZXDNW   2017 Aug 5, 5:42am  

I thought you started it to rehash a conversation that you've had under a different screen name.Onvacation says

Quadrupling of the population over the same time period is a bigger problem.

Quadrupling the population isn't a problem in an of itself. It's only a problem when it causes an increased demand for resources, leads to increased pollution, and potentially more disease. The pollution leads to definite environmental problems, one of which is global warming, which itself can cause increased disease.

Onvacation says

In this entire thread, you've provided no convincing evidence for that statement.

Are you a reincarnation of 'Hater'?

When you write that 'all the heat is coming from the sun' as if it were important, all you are doing is advertising ignorance. Everybody knows that the sun is the source of heat in our planet. Nobody is denying that. It just doesn't mean what you are pretending it means. The net heat depends on more than how active the sun is, and anybody who has read anything about how our planet, atmosphere, and sun interact knows that.
Onvacation says

Can you address the lack of correlation between co2 and arctic temperatures?

It's called the theory of global warming. The average temperature of the globe is warming. It's not called - the theory of everything warms at the same rate and there will be no local fluctuations. Go ahead and cherry pick regions that are not warming if that convinces you of something. But, you will be more convincing to the rest of us if you find something that actually contradicts global warming theory.

That is where the heat comes from.

Some people are amazingly dense sometimes. There are way more factors to climate than just co2 which is a byproduct of breathing and a necessity for plant growth.

Do you think the planet would cool if man disappeared? By how much?

Because the alarmists dire warnings of doom from flooding, catastrophic storms, and rapidly rising heat for the last couple of decades have not come true.

The average temperature of the globe is warming.

One degree over a century is hardly measurable over natural variation.

36   Onvacation   2017 Aug 6, 4:59am  

"The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for May 2016 was the highest for May in the 137-year period of record, at 0.87°C (1.57°F) above the 20th century average of 14.8°C (58.6°F), besting the previous record set in 2015 by 0.02°C (0.04°F).

Can you even measure four hundredths of a degree Fahrenheit over the entire world?

37   FNWGMOBDVZXDNW   2017 Aug 6, 6:08am

That is where the heat comes from.

Speaking of density, you might as well ask why the sky is blue or sunsets are red. That has as much to do with global warming as the sun.
