RE: 97% Global Warming Consensus EXPOSED By Dr. Tim Ball
If you were to 4X the number of people living in your bedroom, what effect would that have on the room?
My point is those that deny climate change are missing this simple point imo. The population boom has taken place over the last 100 years is insane! Or take a look at the changes of any city over the last 200 years... it's massive! We've changed the world drastically but it has no impact on the Earth? All the food, products, and services we consume- not to mention travel- and it all has no effect? I find that insanely hard to believe.
While there may be an expert that disagrees with me on climate change, there is an expert for anything these days. #Internet is fueling nonsenical arguments to confirm any and all biases out there! WWII forecasting really shouldn't be considered in 2018 eh? That was before we had computers or many other scientific discoveries of the modern world!!
I could go on too about there is no consensus in science... when that is the very basis of science!! It is called a scientific theory and comes after the hypothesis :)
Just my 2 cents! Many Cheers!
The point is not that humans have "no effect" on climate. Of course we have an effect. But the effect is so small that it makes no sense to worry about it. It's like thinking that you can save money by taking a shower three times a week instead of five times a week. You're not going to save much money that way. You'd be better off moving to a place with cheaper rent, getting roommates, or getting more hours at your job, higher pay, etc.
In the same way, if the Earth is warming, you need air conditioning. If storms are becoming more numerous, you need better early warning systems and better means of transportation to get out of places hit by a storm. You need to invest in technologies that protect you from adverse climate.
The alternative is to reduce energy consumption, which will make you more vulnerable to the climate. After all, air conditioners burn energy. And burning energy produces CO2. So, ironically, being concerned about global warming will make the Earth more, not less, inhospitable to humans.
At the same time, reducing energy consumption will not actually stop the Earth from warming. In order to stop the Earth from warming by reducing CO2 emissions, we would have to reduce the amount of volcanoes erupting and respiration by humans and animals. But this is impossible. We don't have that kind of control over nature.
So the issue is not that the burning of fossil fuels has no effect on climate. It's that the emphasis on fossil fuels is misplaced when there are so many other things that emit CO2. And, fundamentally, it's a flawed belief to think that human beings can control the climate. We're just not powerful enough to do that.
Thanks for the reply my friend :)
I don't quite understand the 3 showers in a day versus 5 in a week. Perhaps you could explain how this is relevant to climate change caused by humans?
Also, how does being concerned about protecting the climate make it more of an adverse climate? That makes little sense to me, as if I invest energy into anything to take care of it- it will last longer.
As far as I know, Volcano emissions account for less than 1% of total greenhouse gases. Most are our generated from our food supply and transportation/industry. Frankly though finding this evidence is probably not worth my time hunting but I happy to if it'd help someone come around to a more logical approach to human-caused climate change.
I'll give you this, on a single person basis, no one is powerful enough to create climate change. Yet, multiply that number by the 7.7 billion people and you certainly have changed the equation. The fun fact too about how BIG a billion really is... if you earned $1 / second it'd only take around 12 minutes to get to a million bucks. Want to get to a single billion? Now, wait for 31.7 years!! It's exponentially different and frankly few people need to use exponential values ever in life.
Anywho, I appreciate anyone who can have a civil disagreement. Without discourse, the world would be flat LOL Get it? Excuse me for the pun there but the bottom line, we should have serious conversations about the earth and it's health since we all live here. I'd be thrilled to say I'm wrong about climate change! I just don't see the evidence for that. Please show it to me and I'd be happy to chime in for the anti-climate change debate. It must be fact-based because we all live on Earth and the importance of this debate cannot be understated.
Love and respect <3
