401 ppm...that's not a good thing. In fact, it's a rather terrible thing.

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
If thats the case, this species did not make the grade. There is no way we can do anything long term....not in our present semi barbaric state....and if planetary collapse is upon us.....thats agnostic history for you. Probably a few decades too late.
ReplyDeleteTraider A we aren't going anywhere yet. Just as a bad smoking habit can lead to decades of reduced quality of life and extra costs, whether it eventually kills you or not.
ReplyDeleteThis is a seriously impressive hoax. China is putting a lot of effort into selling it.
ReplyDeleteWhat really makes me happy is that Drumpf may see his wealth reduced to almost nothing by the very climate change, global warming and sea level rise he decries as a hoax.
ReplyDeleteJim Douglas China isn't selling it. They are just building all of their new construction inland and well above predicted sea level rise.

ReplyDeleteYou reckon so.
Traider A yeah, we are like cancer. Enough radiation might kill us off, but it's probably gonna take a while ;)
ReplyDeleteBryce Miller
ReplyDeleteAnd how do you know that.....do you have any hard data to go by or is that your stab in the dark?
Yay we're all doomed. I'm so glad we couldn't be bothered to inconvenience some people to save countless lives.
ReplyDeleteTraider A is there something in specific you believe will end the scourge that is humanity, within my lifetime?
ReplyDeletemore sun block,major tree planting, electric everything and science for the air. and planetoid, if we can replace capitalism with collective human spirit the problem will be solved
ReplyDeleteBryce Miller
ReplyDeleteI dont know. I have the data to determine that and will, when I feel so inclined look at it. That said, modernity is a historic WIP and there are no guarantees this species will prevail. Combine that with the slow pace of transition across the globe...from medievalism, through capitalism and into scientific society (for all manner of barbaric reasons) plus the lagging impact of infinite growth as this delay endures and there is some cause for pause that a fractal event could trigger a sudden range shift. Like I said, when I have some time, I shall have to look at the forwards data.

ReplyDeleteSomeday the sun will burn out and then the earth is really screwed. Piss on it, let's all drink some coolaid like heavens gate did....
ReplyDeleteA frightening Prospect for future Generations
ReplyDeleteI worry that my son will have far less in so many ways that we take for granted today.
ReplyDeleteThese statistics pretty much shows the problem.
ReplyDeleteI also wonder if ”rolling coal” is still a thing.

I would not say we have passed the Carbon Tipping Point for good, unless you are referring to our lifetime. The only thing that can turn it around is a significant reduction in the rate that CO2 and Methane are added to the atmosphere, and that doesn't look like it will happen fast enough for our generation to benefit. The choice is to try or not, and that comes down to what we believe. Whether you believe we can or cannot, you are right. However, I am confident CO2 levels will drop after the 6th Mass Extinction Event, as they have in the past. There is only enough fossil carbon left to burn for another 100 years or so.
ReplyDeleteIt is not our fault ,all environmental pollution problems can be solved if all the states spended money for solving the problems and not wasted money on army factories
ReplyDeleteNIKOLETTA FAKATSELI
ReplyDeleteWe would not need armies, if not for Human aggression.
The $30+ Trillion Fossil Energy Industrial Complex is starting to notice a shift in consumer demand. Ultimately, consumers will determine how high the CO2 level is allowed to rise, when the cost of change is less than the cost of status quo. oilprice.com - What If The Oil Rebound Never Happens? | OilPrice.com
ReplyDeleteFinton Greggains...you read this?
ReplyDeleteYip....dont believe the propagander!!! We will lower the price of oil to support the Arab nations. Plus it bouys the Canadian and US economys!!!
ReplyDeleteThe economic impact of low oil prices is good for consumers and bad for producers, especially those with large domestic spending deficits. The movement of oil and gas prices is due about 85% to supply and demand factors and 15% inversely to $US movement. The current supply glut is due to a war for market share among producers.

ReplyDeleteThe real problem is the G-20 Nations that have the technology and the means to save the planet, but refuse to lead.
Nope it's overpopulation
ReplyDeleteTsar Nicholas II
ReplyDeleteOk, let's assume all the problems are due to too many people on the planet, and nothing to do with over consumption of natural resources, waste, pollution, carbon footprint, technology, etc. The solution to overpopulation is less babies, smaller families. The solution to smaller families is educating women to enter the workforce. If women are only valued for their fertility, the logical outcome is the maximum number of children possible per woman. If women are valued more for the potential economic wealth they can create, there will be less children. Why aren't the G-20 nations focused on improving the status of women throughout the world among the emerging market economies which comprise 87% of the world's population? Because the G-20 nations benefit from the continued separation of global wealth and power as depicted in the movie series "Hunger Games".
Mac Baird nope nuking Africa and the new Holocaust is the only way
ReplyDeleteAutomation and energy weapons have virtually no impact on petroleum demand, but the US military has been reducing demand for petroleum as a fuel for ships and planes. What I do know from 21 professional years in the field of economics is about 85% of oil price is a function of supply and demand and about 15% is a function of the relative movement of the $US.
