What Trump has done for us all

Well, those denying made made climate change are as bad as those saying man made climate change is a massive problem.

Really we should just be trying to live in balance with our world, the climate change agenda on both sides is irritating in that they often peddle lies.
Really? How much of a lie is the thousands of square miles already burned in wild fires this year, and we have at least two more months of fire season to go. How about the fires in Europe and Turkey? How about the floods in Europe, the middle East, and Asia? How much is that going to cost us and them in infrastructure that we do not build because we are replacing the infrastructure that was destroyed by extreme weather events.
 
You didn't understand the chart at all which unsurprising since it isn't what you think it is.

To help your catch up on the current emissions output which is different from that chart you don't understand:

China CO2 emissions
(Mt CO2)

1990 2005 2017
2,397.0486,263.06410,877.218

2017 percent of the emissions 1990-2017 emission increase change
29.34%353.8%

===

Unites States CO2 emissions
(Mt CO2)

1990 2005 2017
5,085.8975,971.5715,107.393

2017 percent of the emissions 1990-2017 emission increase change
13.77%0.4%

Ha ha, as you can see, China is now double America for yearly CO2 emissions, America has stabilized to near a flat trend since 1990.

You are not a smart man....

Once again I have to point out that I am a free thinking Independent, not a MAGA supporter, not a Republican.
Really? I don't understand that graph? Again, China's present output of GHG's is less than ours was 100 years ago according to the graph. And if they can start reducing their output within the next ten years, their total output will be only a small fraction of our total output.

The "lie" or whatever you want to call it is that we simply don't know what the climate would be had we not industrialized.

We know from the 100,000 year cycle that temperatures rise and fall NATURALLY.

Which means wildfires come NATURALLY, and floods and all of that.

Worldwide fires have declined since 2000 a fact you have ignored repeatedly:

There is a science called paleoclimatology. Yes, we do know pretty well what the climate would have been had we not added massive amounts of GHG's to the atmosphere.

No, the effect is low today since most of the CO2 warm forcing effect has dropped rapidly since 1880, meanwhile the temperature changes in the Holocene is large while co2 changes are very small:

Some fancy lying there, old boy. If you look at the area actually burned, there is a vastly different story. It has only been in the last six years that we have been seeing years with 10 million acres burned. 2020, 2017, and 2015. And the years before 2000, it was a rate year that exceeded 5 million acres burned.

Problem is this.

We can look at the data we have. It's accurate to a certain extent.


Here has a graph.

The last high CO2/temperature up and down lasted from 140,000 years ago to 90,000 years ago. So we see a period of 50,000 years where CO2/temperatures go from low to high and then back to low. 50,000 years. That's a long time.

Our current uptick started about 20,000 years ago, helping humans grow because the Earth got warmer. So if we take what happened about 100,000 years ago, we're only 2/5th of the way through this process.

The one before that started 245,000 years ago, to about 220,000 years ago. That's 25,000 years or HALF the time of the one that came after it. So, we'd be near the end of that one.

The one before that started at 330,000 years ago and lasted to 260,000 years ago, or 70,000 years. We'd not even be 1/4 the way through that one.


That one had temperatures much higher than they currently are. The one after has temperatures about the current level, the one after that was HIGHER than our current temperatures.

AND we don't know if the 100,000 year cycle has finished or not.

New research may resolve a climate ‘conundrum’ across the history of human civilization​

The new study also confirms the planet is warming 20 times faster than Earth’s fastest natural climate change

Apparently you know very little about the Milankovitch Cycles.

"In the last few months, a number of questions have come in asking if NASA has attributed Earth’s recent warming to changes in how Earth moves through space around the Sun: a series of orbital motions known as Milankovitch cycles."

Well, ignorance of climate change is something universal. So I wouldn't stay on your high horse if I were you.

Cycles can't explain the change because these cycles are vague, as I just pointed out. When you have one cycle that is 25,000 years and another that is 70,000 years, it's impossible to know what out current cycle would be.

The point being is WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WORLD TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE.

No you, not me, not the "experts".

Question for you. Could the Milankovich cycles account for the rise and falls being from 20,000 years to 70,000 years?
 
China is a developing country. The US has pumped out far more pollution than China in its history, and per capita produces way more even now.

China is also developing a lot of ways of cleaning up the environment way earlier than the US ever did in its developmental history.
I hate to break it to you, however, when it comes to polluting nations, the United States is a distant 84th out of 106. We are nowhere near where we used to be. The Clean Air Act, Catalytic Converters, Clean Water Act, National Resources Defense Council, NIH Green Procurement Program and Toxic Substances Control Act, among other programs have significantly reduced our negative impact environmentally. We aren't perfect, but we are a lot better than 83 other nations and the bottom line is that humans aren't perfect. You might try complaining to the other 83 nations governments.

Well, in this case there are many ways of presenting statistics. So, what you've said is going to be not true at some point.


BY CO2 emissions, China is number on at 10.8 million tons and the US second at 5.1 million tons. The US was at 5.9 million in 2005. So, really, the US is actually quite near where it used to be, however per capita it'll be less because the population has grown considerably since then.

Per capita the US is 16th in the world, behind some small places like Palau, Curacao, Qatar, Trinidad and Tobago. Saudi Arabia, Australia and Canada are the notable countries higher than the US on per capita. Two because they're hot, one because it's cold, I'd presume are the main causes.

And yes, I can also complain about other countries. And do.

But the US is certain one major problem and is what this topic is about, surprisingly.
 
Yes. The GDP per capita of China is between $10,000 and $12,000 a year, depending on where you look. Meaning that a poorer person in China is probably going to be earning like $5,000 a year.

The US on the other hand is between $63,000 and $68,000

China put stuff on Mars because they're a huge country that is developing and has decided it needs to go into showy things like going to Mars.

China has parts of the country that are moving towards first world status. Shanghai, Beijing, first and perhaps second tier cities have a level of life that is up there with the US's, but then it has lots of poor people, it doesn't have much of a welfare state, if China suffered right now, it'd have a much bigger impact because of its developing status. It's a second world country that is developing fast.

It has stolen a lot of stuff to get it to Mars, it's amazing what you can do with theft. The US did it too. Got to the Moon by taking stuff from the Soviets, the Nazis etc.




Ummmm, that's because they are SOCIALIST, you halfwit!

^ Sucking up for Xi!

China is the second richest country and emits nearly TWICE our CO2. Chain yourself to their Embassy to protest and leave us alone

How about if I ask BOTH China and the US and every other nation on the planet to reduce GHGs? Why is it you don't seem to think that possible Frank?
