its not about greta terry , she is just a kid with attitude

its about whats happening right now around the world , half a billion animals killed in Australia , you cant watch any docu now without seeing effects on ordinary folk , floods , droughts , water evapouration , animal extinction , heatwaves , record temps , sea level , melting ice

and its all in the last few years

whatever you believe is personal to an individual and should be respected , but you got to admit there is a lot happening , and its all connected

It has been known about for well over a century that CO2 in the atmosphere can influence the global temperature using the "green-house effect"

Okay so where's the proof?

There's no proof because it's only a theory.

And as the doomsday deadlines continue to come and go, it will slowly dawn on the believers that they're just as vulnerable to bullshine as their predecessors were who believed in witchcraft. 

Some good predictions here from the scientists.
Many of them predicted the exact opposite of what they're preaching now.

anyone challenging the warming duo princess greta/lord gore are immediately condemned as nazis  - you are not allowed to oppose

obviously its warmer globally  but it's whether it's  man made or part of a cycle   ...it's maybe a bit of both .

if you don't want to be paying out for any carbon taxes then don't  ...take the train ,don't fly etc etc ...buy less crap

while humans produce  a net gain for the planet we do cause a lot of damage  but technology  will always  meet the problem head on , but us thickoes (because most of us are as thick as sh1t) are relying too much on the top 1% of clever people  ...just hope for the planet sake they don't die off 

I believe the climate is changing but remain sceptical it's woman made. (Balancing Dr C's post..)

Even the BBC's Rachel Burden used the phrase 'the world is on fire' the other day. With emotional nonsense like that my scepticism increases.

Record snowfall in Canada highlights the issues with a 'global warming' narrative.

Prince Charles gave a speech today and said we needed to change. Nothing about China or India. All the focus seems to be on the West.

How do we know that recent CO2 increases are due to human activities?

Note:This is an update to an earlier post, which many found to be too technical. The original, and a series of comments on it, can be found here. See also a more recent post here for an even less technical discussion.

Over the last 150 years, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have risen from 280 to nearly 380 parts per million (ppm). The fact that this is due virtually entirely to human activities is so well established that one rarely sees it questioned. Yet it is quite reasonable to ask how we know this.

One way that we know that human activities are responsible for the increased CO2 is simply by looking at historical records of human activities. Since the industrial revolution, we have been burning fossil fuels and clearing and burning forested land at an unprecedented rate, and these processes convert organic carbon into CO2. Careful accounting of the amount of fossil fuel that has been extracted and combusted, and how much land clearing has occurred, shows that we have produced far more CO2 than now remains in the atmosphere. The roughly 500 billion metric tons of carbon we have produced is enough to have raised the atmospheric concentration of CO2 to nearly 500 ppm. The concentrations have not reached that level because the ocean and the terrestrial biosphere have the capacity to absorb some of the CO2 we produce.* However, it is the fact that we produce CO2 faster than the ocean and biosphere can absorb it that explains the observed increase.

Another, quite independent way that we know that fossil fuel burning and land clearing specifically are responsible for the increase in CO2 in the last 150 years is through the measurement of carbon isotopes. Isotopes are simply different atoms with the same chemical behavior (isotope means “same type”) but with different masses. Carbon is composed of three different isotopes, 14C, 13C and 12C. 12C is the most common. 13C is about 1% of the total. 14C accounts for only about 1 in 1 trillion carbon atoms.

CO2 produced from burning fossil fuels or burning forests has quite a different isotopic composition from CO2 in the atmosphere. This is because plants have a preference for the lighter isotopes (12C vs. 13C); thus they have lower 13C/12C ratios. Since fossil fuels are ultimately derived from ancient plants, plants and fossil fuels all have roughly the same 13C/12C ratio – about 2% lower than that of the atmosphere. As CO2 from these materials is released into, and mixes with, the atmosphere, the average 13C/12C ratio of the atmosphere decreases.

As per DR C's link below, scientists have been proven wrong many times. They were predicting an ice age by now. I sometimes need a vest but it aint that bad...

Gore said the ice cap would have disappeared by now....

You pay your money...

The earliest plant forms profoundly changed the atmosphere - which once had no oxygen; whats so difficult about accepting that man is doing the same with co2?

every year as population grows more fossil fuels are burned keeping up with consumerism etc

add that to evermore forest being cleared for same reasons

its really a no brainer that something would give

Also her comment 'you stole my childhood' is a disgrace to children(especially female) around the world. Some children get sold for under a hundred bucks for a lifetime of labor. And its not them getting the hundred bucks, its the dad selling them. That's what a stolen childhood looks like.

if her name appears on your bank statement report it to the bank asap and they will refund you

I don't agree with that Charlie. If we accept its real, we will have to pay more tax. We have no guarantee that our money will make a difference, mainly because we aren't the main cause of the problem.

Or make me a part of her team so I can benefit too. Like Deutsche Bahn. Otherwise im not cheering for her.

Rainfall is not falling. And these are not record temperatures.

I suppose I should ask why not highest temperatures and lowest rainfall?

how do the dutch get on

much of their country is either very low or below see level?
