Agreed, I was in Europe during the Chernobyl meltdown,acid rain,and on the verge of Mutual Assured Destruction. This is not "realscience" here is the vid above, having problems composing

Thank goodness, its not the AGW apocalypse of 2050!!!! Did you bother watching oneVid,and understand there are many priorities. AWG among them.But,vast sums world wide in a decade,all to try to prove the same thing.We have many more issues facing us.

Birth control for all those that want it,India,Africa..some seed and a little credit.Hope. LETS BUY THE RAINFOREST,for our protserity. We have till 2050,when to earth reaches its maximum sustainable human population.

Our Waste Management takes it all,we recycle at 3:1,some organic waist to a Dubia roach colony but that's another conversation. In LA County, even Walmart doesn't provide bags,unless well, you pay a dime a piece.EBT card holders get them for free. Denier,I tried to find the history of the word in context to this debate.Eariest I cound find is,from the man himself. The "Father of AGW"James Hansen,NASA scientist.Prophet some said, Mentor to AL Gore. The man that predicted the ice caps would melt.twice? https://principia-scientific.org/father-of-global-warming-scientist-finally-admits-theory-is-wrong/ So the tin foil hats were right....For those with the time. I wonder if the Billions in NOA, NASA,IPCC,univercities ect....will be redirected.

Hey screw the List,after thinking about it, realized its a B.S.virtue signal question ? Honestly...If I had the opportunity I'd add one, no two, and more of another. if you get my lift. Conservation should have been the subject.

Excellent good to see ecology and conservation isn't just a cliche. I'm fortunate enough to be in a town-home two stories, summer is brutal in the dessert.We use a 110v a/c unit and fans,barely enough to keep use comfortable at 78,the 220v compessor and220v blower needs to kick on only once or twice in the worst of the days. Parasitic losses can be mitigate by using strips,TV ect. on one, computer on the other and we just flip two The results were amazing we use 1/4 the electricity than our neighbors and even receive rebates for our low consumption. Someone mentioned ozone and acid rain,and the wolves of our national parks, man can, does, and will effect the environment in the future,that by definition is ecology. e·col·o·gy Dictionary result for ecology /ēˈkäləjē/ noun the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. Yet the the blanket statement, Co2 is the driver of temperature is factually false, the debate if allowed, is CO2 the primary driver of temperature seems to be historically inaccurate The forcing effect that CO2 has on temp,and amount of temp rise. well that is defiantly the contested part of the AGW theory.

I don't think there is anyone that simply doesn't care or doesn't want to..{unless the masses make less than$5,000 a year then they have bigger problems} deep down we are all of motherearth and love her dearly. Even those dastardly denier oil executives,they have childern and dont you think they look into their childs eyes,and reflect. I agree we are "Dumping mass amounts" and AGW is provable, so be it. Now,dont take this as an attack,its a serious and personal question, posed to all brave enough. What are you doing to stop the upcoming apocalypse,heres a list of"life style choices" #1 Meat become a Vegetarian #2 Large Home with pool ,sell it buy a townhouse, if fortunate enough with community pool #3 Sell your car buy a bike. #4 No vacations, air travel, Rv,4wd, quads,ect #5 Skydiving I'll own two but not by choice..?lol If you have kidds how do you speak to them on this subject?

YES,and not a result of AGW, Im sure you'll agree. Sounds like a typical Alarmist News cycle, from the 21century. "Until it got cold again."

BINGO WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! So again, around and around we go.Chicken or the Egg I posed a question. If temperatures were 5 degrees cooler and the CO2 content of the Atmospere was 300 ppm lower. Would we have had a fire? if so, How would the two verialbes effect the outcome? If AGW was the cause, what was the Man made fire? True, a chain of events, gale force wind, temps, super low humidity, geography, fuel.ect....all, a natural state of the enviroment. Man was the cause of the spark, not AGW. Its FACT... For Millenia lighting was that spark. "Alarmism seems to be hysterical.. Here's one, my joke of the day. Made me laugh actually." MNN.com > Earth Matters > Animals Climate change is turning these cute birds into crazed murderers A great tit BRYAN NELSON February 2, 2019, 2:43 p.m. "So what, you try to win them over with even more ignorance, exaggerations, sensationalism, and perhaps even outright lies, the very things that make them skeptical in the first place?" Then lable them as a Denier. Isn't that a reference to Nazis or Islamists, that denied the holocaust? Damn talk about vindictive. If you want someone to be empathetic and listen, well thats a conversation ender, for sure, and Youll definitely put that person on the defensive. I'm a sceptic not a denier. Do I deny yes,I deny the thought process its toxicity the unhealthy psychology, the dose of doom everyday,the dogma,the nillistic veiw of humanity and the purposeful twist of fact on both sides of the debate. Calling those that disagree, poorly educated,as if a peice of paper, a static picture frame on the wall, is the only gauge of intellegence and the only form of obtaining it,is quite spiteful, some would say its a position of privilage. Add a dose of Politics into the conversation that only devides us further. If you listen to a sceptic close enough, most don't think "we have no impact on the environment' they are skeptical of the amount of impact. Example; Germany will spend Billion to shutter their coal pants. I'm all for it. Coal sucks its dirty, full of carcinogen,waste,heavy metals toxic ash True pollution and one of the largest emitter of Co2 and other GG. but what of it? https://www.businessinsider.com.au/china-coal-fired-power-station-buildup-2018-9 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/01/climate/china-energy-companies-coal-plants-climate-change.html and what of the emissions of the fire? https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/california/articles/2018-11-30/california-wildfire-emissions-equal-year-of-power-pollution

"The Santa Ana winds and the accompanying raging wildfires !!!" The problem is not my stance,its the facts..How can you have a Reported Major wildfire if no one is there,to report it. Its in the tree rings of ancient Giant Sequoia Trees, minor and major fire scars. Since befor Jesus Christ . Your analogy is flawed.. the the violent gang has always been, then people moved in,kids got addicted, substandard electric systems installed, forestry practices ignored, improper weed abatement, and fire brakes, A literal turf war broke out. the murder rate went up,homeless rate went up. .Giant Sequoias Yeild Longest Fire History From Tree Rings. Prescribed firesimulates the natural role of fire in the parks. California's western Sierra Nevada had more frequent fires between 800 and 1300 than at any time in the past 3,000 years, according to a new study based upon tree-ring research. Sierra Nevada had more frequent fires between 800 and 1300 than at any time in the past 3,000 years.

You must not live in SoCal. We have a uniue weather condition here called the Santa Annas' Hot Dry air from the deserts flow to the ocean thru a mountainous region forcing that air thu the mountain passes and valleys at extrordinary velocity for the past 5000 years. The Santa Ana winds and the accompanying raging wildfires have been a part of the ecosystem of the Los Angeles Basin for over 5,000 years, dating back to the earliest habitation of the region by the Tongva and Tataviam peoples.[15] The Santa Ana winds have been recognized and reported in English-language records as a weather phenomenon in Southern California since at least the mid-nineteenth century.[1] Various episodes of hot, dry winds have been described over this history as dust storms, hurricane-force winds, and violent north-easters, damaging houses and destroying fruit orchards. Newspaper archives have many photographs of regional damage dating back to the beginnings of news reporting in Los Angeles. When the Los Angeles Basin was primarily an agricultural region, the winds were feared particularly by farmers for their potential to destroy crops.[1] The winds are also associated with some of the area's largest and deadliest wildfires, including one of the state's largest and deadliest fires on record, the Camp fire, Thomas Fire, and Cedar Fire, as well as the Laguna Fire, Old Fire, Esperanza Fire, Santiago Canyon Fire of 1889 and the Witch Creek Fire. It was these winds that fueled the devistation like so many times in the past, as a matter of fact the Great Sequia Tree use the fire as a part of their reproduction cycle.They are some of the largest and oldest trees on this earth,hope you have an opportunity to admire them up close and in person some day its therapeutic M.R.C.A .park ranger stopped by my shop the day,befor and told me to "Batton Down the Hatches we're in for a big one," So the alarmist hysteria is definatly at a fever pitch, I wonder, is there any weather event thats not a conseqence of AGW?

He was also pleased that the commission recommended that utilities scrap plans to clear the last 250 acres of the Hambach Forest west of Cologne for a lignite open-pit mine. Phil this is exciting news. Question,with the Germans' closing their nuclear reactors how will they accomplish their goals from a physics stand point.Leave it to the Germans to figure it out, but when I was stationed there we had a saying, "eight months of winter and four months of no summer," lol So i'm sure solar isn't as optimal as it is in SoCal. If interested check out is last video,his farewell.A man that truely "walked his talk" if thats the saying.

Glacial National Park is often referanced as an ecological Catastrophe, Visual evidence of man made Global warming.Pictures are superinposed onto referance points then portrayed with such loss,devistation.Sorrowfully you should continpate with remorse. We DID THIS.Mankinds drug. ecstasy and addiction . A taking a raping of the natural world. A sort of original sin, our purposful,evil use of fossil Fuels.So what of our toil,pain misery,from the unbearable suffering and rechedness of that past. The 10,000 Year average, what of that... Yes,yes the 10,000 year average, a clean cool peaceful stable place.

The world population estimates for 2050 are at about 10 billion,and by 2100 estimates range from 11.2 -15 billion. While the planet is capable of sustaining 9 billion, so in as little as 30years we will be at the planets maximum sustainable population. Its estimated that 30% of our GHG comes from agriculture. Jonathan Foley Population control. Damn I dont want to touch it, with a ten foot pole. quick review @14:00

You really went there?

better than none ,as a totalitarian Lets get into Info wars.. A nut job conspiracy tinfoil hat wacko with an onion, sounds pretty fun and interesting. But if you have an IQ of a vegetable you might see him as a Threat. and we must banish him and all he stands for. Like all good leftist we should Burn his books ban him from the internet, remove any forms of his oppion Alex Jones really? how about other comedian, political hacks and the likes of the young Turks sounds wonderfully totalitarian to me.

How many of you are grateful to President Trump for a riot free America,and our removal from the Paris Climate Accord. the average cost of a Gal.of gas in the US is about $2.24 inflation adjusted its like your grandfathers .35 a gallon.

1" every 4 years is ridiculous!! Why hasn't Al sold his beachfront property? The inconvenient truth!

Where is all the research on the Milankovitch cycle,The true driver of temperature and climate? Shhh, don't you ask about such blasphemy and if we do go into a low another Ice age cycle What then, of our environmental diversity, perhaps I'm buzzed and completely off base. BUT what if .... The unintended consequence of burning fossil fuels is a warmer fertilized planet of CO2 and mammalians saving accident. { please don't respond to the "solar activity hasn't changed but Temp. has, its known, and an obvious part of the AGW theory}

THIS TYPE OF TRIPE Is the shit I can't stand Do you have any conception of what ONE nuclear device has on human life? One nuke at altitude will likely kill 10's of millions!! No trucks tractors phones or electricity, all electrical systems will be completely destroyed in ONE nuclear EMP . and somehow you equate AGW with nuclear war? You obviously have no Idea of the deviation such actions would imply. Then imply AGW would come close to the death and destruction of Nuclear weapons. My daughter came to me with tears in her eyes. I'm afraid of the future she said, what about Global warming? I said, we had global warming when I grew up ,but we had a different name for it. She asked what we called it, I told her We called it Unilateral Thermo nuclear war. Bark beetles really ? how about the KILLER BEES oh no ! How about having a positive attitude, Perhaps you think Im am an optimist, I do. As far as the coral reefs. do you realize that the the amount of co2 needed to decimate is nearly lethal to the mammals that evolved as that result? I am a believer in AWG, but Damn it is not, the end all. I love nature, love the mountains and hike regularly But for one moment imagine the beauty in the glacial national park. The once barren ice covered lifeless prison that is now.. Full of alpine lakes, birds, trees and a vast ecosystem of Co2 capturing species ? The grasses and flowers are amazing along with all that comes with such beauty.

It's not about what the 'optimum' conditions for life are. Within a certain bound there's really no such thing, because life is about adaptation. Over a very long time different creatures have adapted to function best in the conditions that exist for them. From a sheer biodiversity standpoint of course you could say that very hot, very humid rainforest conditions are the optimum - but take all the polar bears and put them in the jungle and very soon you'll find that polar bears are extinct. It's continuity that is more important than a theoretical ideal. Take sea level, for instance. Is there a sea level that reflects 'optimum' conditions for life across the planet? I have no idea - I don't think it even makes sense as a question. But here's the thing - we've built cities on the coast using the sea level as it is now. We live on islands that exist with the sea level as it is now. If global warming causes a significant change in sea level it doesn't matter if there's some way of calculating whether the new level reflects objectively better or worse conditions for life in general, it's the change itself that will be catastrophic. The phrasing of your question implies that you think there is some exclusivity between the two. Is there a reason why you think a molecule used in essential biological processes can't be a major factor in climate as well? Not at all exclusive, sure its a GHG and it contributes to the GHG effect, Sorry to have phased it as the loaded question. But hope you'll agree CO2 is not the only thing contributing to the dire straight of the planet? Regarding sea level rise, by my best account if we double Co2 from preindustrial levels the increase in temperature is about a 3ft. rise in sea level in 300 years , I don't think thats as catastrophic as Al Gores predictions. Thanks for your insight and introspect

In terms of preventing mass extinctions? A temperature and CO2 concentration that is close to 10,000 year averages. Ideal temperature depends on location of course. Ideal CO2 concentration is around 280ppm. You do realize that at about 170 ppm plant life begin to choke off, production decreases significantly? We, as in the planet nearly died off in the ice ages and co2 was at a critical low,so my assent is more optimistic on co2 and hope to hell we don't experience another Maunder minimum for humanity sake, But that would prove helpful to others. I'll agree with you on your other points thanks for your input,

Thanks, It takes me a couple days to digest.
