@greenheroaf What data do you have to support your opinion “the rising risks we face today are just as clear?” You don’t have any? Do you know what scientific evidence is?
It is evident human activity has had an impact due to urbanization, deforestation, and burning of fossil fuels. But the magnitude is unknown. Most importantly, there is no evidence the gradual warming has had any detrimental impact on human flourishing. While we might not have much of an impact. Let’s keep up the good work!
Interesting observations.
But the observations breaks down when evaluating the differences.
Weather models are scientific forecasting changes within bounds of uncertainty. Sadly the Climate Science Alarmists are not scientific when they don’t acknowledge the uncertainty of the assumptions of the two major factors in their forecasts:
1) What is the percentage impact and the uncertainty of the impact of human burning of fossil fuels ( as opposed to natural changes) increasing CO2 concentrations ? 2) What is the percentage impact and the uncertainty of the impact of Increased CO2 concentrations ( as opposed to naturally occurring CO2 ) increasing global temperatures?
Is there any published science demonstrating that 1) human burning of fossil fuels ( as opposed to natural changes) is responsible for more than 50% of observed increases in CO2 concentrations ? 2) Increased CO2 concentrations ( as opposed to naturally occurring CO2 ) is responsible for over 50% of the increase in global temperatures? This isn’t “crackpot leeching.” You don’t know do you? Your flaws understanding the scientific method are obvious
@medialens Arsonist. Weak analogy. There is evidence when an arsonist sets a match. There is no evidence human burning of fossil fuels has an appreciable impact on increasing global temperatures. Are you unable to see the difference?
@HannoKlausmeier If you define better as most cost effective to the consumer, both are inferior. Which is why adoption of EVs and heat pumps remain paltry
Heat is added and subtracted mostly due to orbital cycles as documented by Milanovitch. Yes, it’s likely human burning of fossil fuels has increased warming slightly. But so what? There is no evidence of any harm to humans the past century during which average temperatures increased 1C.
