This relates to Trump and "what the hell is going on" in that case, but will be in another pure political thread. Dont mix subjects.

This time it is about scepticts and coal interests, against most of the world and climate experts.
I am busy with other matters also, so I ask both sides to show serious facts with links, from well known experts educated in climate science, since our lives are at stake, including our children.

For many of you, this is kicking in open doors, so its climate prevention for Sceptics, in order to not disturb other threads with other subjects.

Cause it often turns up Sceptics as like to change a subject, in all threads about our climate, so we may take it here, to point at from other threads.

As we all can understand, there are huge values invested in oil, coal and gas, nobody likes to loose, so that industry puts in gigantic amounts to pretend they are not harmful at all, as others did with smoking before.

In both cases they have used ie Fred Singer, as before liked to proof smoking is unharmful, lost and now do similar about coal and oil.

Some sell themselves to anything, without a thought of what they do it seems. They are everywhere but mostly in US, as ie talk of good CO2 as nature grows more of.
Others claim solar cycles.
But against them are almost all climate-experts, so sceptics vanish in a fog of bad work with facts.

4 links about what leads some of them:
Billion-dollar climate denial network exposed | WIRED UK
https://www.theguardian.com/environm...climate-change
The oily echo machine behind "climategate" | DeSmogBlog
https://www.theguardian.com/environm....climatechange

Some have even meant this is a hoax to raise taxes, but that dont stick when taxes*have been lowered.

Worlwide has nuclear power been forwarded, to get out from dependens in fossile fuels, since a long time ago, when those fuels also makes earth and sea acid, pollutes and has toxic downfall.
Those reasons still remain and should be enough to act more green. Or is it otherwise with these old facts nowadays do You think?


On top of that, we have climate-problems, when those old ones are still there.

Some 100 years ago a Nobel price winner Arrhenius, warned of climate issues. More came 10-15 years ago and almost anybody knows them now, so almost all climate-experts and politicians are united we must make a change.

Sceptics hardly knows what Coal-sinks and Positive return coupling is, or care of Methane as is 25 times more harmful to climate than CO2. Its mostly a blurr of CO2 and periods of ie 18 years, when experts uses at least 30.

Climate experts use to have another eduction, than technicians with their more technical solutions as sometimes looks like a cult of sceptics. But asked one by one, they worry of CO2, but just dont like to agree on everything.

Some facts:
What's Really Warming the World? Climate deniers blame natural factors; NASA data proves otherwise


This looks worst, or perhaps its better, we all die rapidly?

Quote:
""One scientific paper investigating "kill mechanisms" during the end-Permian suggests that methane hydrate explosions "could destroy terrestrial life almost entirely". Acting much like today's fuel-air explosives (or "vacuum bombs"), major oceanic methane eruptions could release energy equivalent to 10,000 times the world's stockpile of nuclear weapons.

Whatever happened back then to wipe out 95% of life on Earth must have been pretty serious. And while it would be wrong to imagine that history will ever straightforwardly repeat itself, we should certainly try and learn the lessons of the distant past. If they tell us one thing above all, it is this: that we mess with the climatic thermostat of this planet at our extreme - and growing - peril.""
https://www.theguardian.com/books/20....climatechange

Better than ie this:
Quote:
""Given an effective meltdown of methane clathrates in the Arctic, climate expert Dr. Malcolm Light has estimated global temperatures of around 50°C above averages between the years 2040 and 2050. In summer, if the normal average had been 30°C (for example, where I live in Montana), the post-methane belch temperature would rise to 80°C or 176°F."

Is the warming Arctic incubating a methane monster that could unleash mass extinction on Earth?""
Dragon Watch: Is a methane monster growing in the Arctic?


Its a bit boring to explain certainties year after year , so help me to explain for sceptics, when we others are in another phase in step with times.

Cause we never ever before, have stored coal in millions of years, then burnt it in a short time, as is not Natural variations and get their consequences.

When it was warmer a long time ago, there was few humans or none, now its almost full so many of us cant move.
A small ice-age can come later, but it may reverse before and*we can not play to get in balance.

Our climate and atmosphere is sensitive to us. The climate can track out of control realizes more and more.

No one can switch all directly now, it goes so SLOWLY and the prices of the fossil is thus down. Coal companies are doing everything they can to deceive us, which is easily understandable, but unfortunate for humanity.

Why should we take chances with most or all human lives, while we have to change to sustainable systems anyway?

and this will never go away. on one side we have those that think man is so powerful that he can ruin the climate(such self importance and arrogance on their part), so they do in fact want higher taxes, and more government regulations, and note that they only want to punish the developed countries like europe and the US, but countries like china and india are exempt. they also want to redistribute the wealth they steal from the rich countries, and redistribute to the poorer countries so they can develop their economies to compete with the richer countries.

on the other side we have those that think nothing is wrong, according to the big business interests, and hey want to keep doing things in the business as usual scenario.

in the end however we the people of the world are NOT getting the whole truth from either side. both sides give us just enough truth to constantly obfuscate what is truly going on. is the climate changing? yes it is, it has been for four billion years. can man have an effect on the climate? perhaps a small effect, but for those that think we can have this huge effect on the climate are truly arrogant and self important. man is an inconsequential being in the grand scheme of things.

The truth is we really don't know because there is no temperature record prior to the satellite age.


I'll repeat that... there is no temperature record prior to the satellite age.


GHCN v 3 is made up bull **** invented by middle-aged guys who studied climate science in the 1970s and lived in their parent's basement paying off student loans for a commercially useless PhD until the 1990s when the Al Gore and the theory of CAGW set them free.


Now, laid for the first time in their pathetic lives, they will agree to anything that keeps them out of their parent's basement and liberated from a bitter life of tears and chafed genitalia.

Yeah, about that "1.4 degrees since 1880", got a source for that temperature record going back to 1880?

This has happened before when there was no human life, but almost all other life forms died out. Do you like to take a chance on that, when we have to change from oil coal and gas anyway?

Its recorded in ice.

We had climate-experts before this ie in NASA, they get paid with or without these problems.

New is stored coal for millions of years, burned up in a short time so CO2-levels gets up.

CO2 are stored in "coal-sinks" but when those get filled and warmed up, it will reverse in a chain so CO2 gets out again and it will be warmer etc.

Then stored Methane will get out, that is 25 time worse than CO2 and there is a lot.

We can end up in a loop as cant be stopped, so almost all life will die out, it has happened before.

So why do it?
