@mhdksafa The anti-Muslim hatred in the UK is from actions of Muslim in UK to the British people.. bbc hides the facts so public reports it on only platform they are free to do it on.
The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.
Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.
Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.
As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”
Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.
Time to choose your side.
5. Ocean Currents and Internal Variability
• Phenomena like El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) redistribute heat between oceans and atmosphere, causing short-term global temperature fluctuations (El Niño often warms the planet temporarily).
• Longer-term shifts in thermohaline circulation (e.g., Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) influence regional and global climates over decades to centuries.
6. Other Factors
• Tectonic shifts and continental drift: Over millions of years, these alter ocean currents, mountain building (affecting weathering and CO₂ drawdown), and land distribution.
• Cosmic rays or asteroid impacts (rare, but can influence cloud formation or cause abrupt changes).
In summary, these natural processes have shaped Earth’s climate for billions of years, driving periods of warming (like interglacials) and cooling (ice ages). They operate on various timescales, from years (volcanoes, ENSO) to hundreds of thousands of years (orbital cycles). However, the current rapid rate of warming exceeds what these factors alone can account for.
For deeper reading, reliable sources include NASA, EPA, and geological surveys. If you’re asking in the context of distinguishing natural vs. human influences, the consensus is that human activities (primarily greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels) are the dominant driver of recent changes.
Because in science if you tink something is causing some it’s a fact?
Natural factors that influence Earth’s temperature and have driven “normal” (natural) climate variations throughout history include several key processes.
These have caused warming and cooling cycles over geological timescales (thousands to hundreds of thousands of years), but scientists note that they do not explain the rapid warming observed in recent decades.
1. Changes in Earth’s Orbit and Axial Tilt (Milankovitch Cycles)
Earth’s orbit around the Sun isn’t perfectly stable. Three main cyclical variations affect how much solar radiation (insolation) different parts of the planet receive:
• Eccentricity: Changes in the shape of Earth’s orbit (more elliptical or circular) over ~100,000 years.
• Obliquity (axial tilt): Variations in the tilt of Earth’s axis (between ~22.5° and 24.5°) over ~41,000 years.
• Precession: Wobble in Earth’s axis over ~26,000 years.
These cycles alter seasonal sunlight distribution, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, and have driven ice age cycles (glacial-interglacial periods). They can lead to gradual planetary warming or cooling by changing the amount and distribution of solar energy absorbed.
2. Variations in Solar Activity
The Sun’s energy output isn’t constant:
• Solar cycles (about 11 years) involve changes in sunspots and solar radiation. More sunspots generally correlate with slightly warmer periods; fewer with cooler ones.
• Longer-term changes in solar irradiance (total energy output) have influenced climate over centuries to millennia.
These variations cause small fluctuations in the energy reaching Earth, contributing to natural warming or cooling. However, recent solar trends have been stable or slightly declining, not matching observed warming.
3. Volcanic Activity
Volcanoes release:
• Greenhouse gases like CO₂ (warming effect, though natural volcanic CO₂ emissions are a tiny fraction of human emissions today).
• Aerosols, ash, and sulfur dioxide (cooling effect by reflecting sunlight back to space, often dominating short-term).
Major eruptions can cause temporary global cooling for 1–3 years (e.g., Mount Pinatubo in 1991 cooled the planet by ~0.5°C). Over long timescales, they have contributed to both warming and cooling phases.
4. Natural Greenhouse Gas Variations and Feedbacks
The greenhouse effect is natural and essential for life (it keeps Earth ~33°C warmer than it would otherwise be). Key natural sources include:
• Water vapor (most abundant, from evaporation).
• CO₂ from volcanic outgassing, ocean degassing, and respiration/decay.
• Methane (CH₄) from wetlands, permafrost thaw, and geological sources.
• Nitrous oxide from soils and oceans.
Changes in ocean circulation, biological activity, or temperature can release or absorb these gases, creating feedbacks that amplify warming or cooling (e.g., warmer oceans releasing more CO₂).
