>an increase from 350 to 420 ppm is a 20% CO2 increase, but also just a 0.01% decrease of non-CO2-content
>earths magnetic field has weakened since we started measuring and is (anti)-proportional to CO2 increase (99% correlation)
>effects of geomagneticism appear to be neglected
>climate models consistently predict wrong and are reassessed
>thousands of climate researchers work on these models (hence 99% consensus)
just saying

earth is warming up (objective) and co2 content appears to be up (ob/subjective)
cause and effect are not proven, it is (still) correlation, not causation

>>
>>540838695
It's one of the factors determining the planet's equilibrium surface temperature. It's both highly variable in concentration and stable in the atmosphere, so unlike other big factors (sunlight is pretty steady, water precipitates out when it becomes concentrated), it can shift the equilibrium a lot and hold it there. There are records both of past temperature and past atmospheric CO2 concentration, and they correlate pretty well.

Generally speaking, Earth has two climate modes: icehouse (what we're in now, with permanent ice at the poles) and greenhouse (no ice at the poles, the climate has been here about 3/4 of the time). The current atmospheric CO2 level is about the lowest it has ever been. At levels of around 1 part per thousand, the climate shifts to greenhouse mode, with less temperature difference between the equator and poles, and vegetation at all latitudes. These times are characterized by increased plant growth and animal diversity, e.g. the dinosaurs.

It's a positive feedback. They push each other. Which means that adding CO2 feeds into the positive feedback. Past major increases of CO2 have been from things like major volcanic eruptions.

>>540839768
At the current CO2 concentration, plants have a hard time extracting it from the air to form sugar, decreasing the efficiency of photosynthesis. Increasing the CO2 level increases plant photosynthesis, which removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Which means that putting a given amount into the atmosphere results in less than that amount staying there. The planet has already seen significant greening from the industrial CO2 emissions.

So no. You might consider understanding something before using it as a reference.

>There is no positive feedback.
Water can hold less CO2 as it gets hotter. Increases atmospheric CO2 increases the equilibrium surface temperature. As the temperature increases, CO2 moves out of the oceans and into the atmosphere, which further increases the temperature. Adding a given amount of CO2 to the atmosphere, or increasing the temperature by some amount causes further increases, which is what a "positive feedback" IS.

>>540840126
How is geomagnetism supposed to influence temperature? It doesn't interact with electromagnetic radiation, the fluxes of which determine the equilibrium temperature.
>>
>>540840321
It's in equilibrium with the top few hundred meters of water, idiot. We're putting 30 billion tons of CO2 into the air every single year. That's doubled atmospheric CO2 since the Industrial Revolution. CO2 is opaque to heat radiation and that makes it harder for the planet to cool down. We've known about this since the 19th century.
>>
>>540840317
>But only man-made CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

All of it is a greenhouse gas. But the CHANGE is what results in a CHANGE in equilibrium temperature.

this only works when you ignore other aspects of physics, such as the co2 ir absorption curve being logarithmic, meaning at low concentrations, co2 has a much higher capacity per unit change...but once you start riding up the asymptote, the IR absorption increasingly saturates, this directly means that over ~450 ppm the contribution is basically negligible
people who respect physics and the scientific method dont leave shit out so that they can tell a tall tale

Nope. It still increases the optical depth of the atmosphere in those wavelengths, slowing the radiation time and increasing the energy stored in the atmosphere. Still a positive feedback.

Use your words. What specifically are you claiming to happen? Elelctromagnetic radiation passes through magnetic fields without interacting, because it does not carry an electric charge.

The thing that's bringing us out of an ice age is the fact we've doubled CO2 in the atmosphere, retard. That's not a good thing. Our crops need late ice age conditions to grow. Most of the planet's history is too hot for us!

It's frankly insane to fuck with the climate of the earth. It's not like we have another one. We need to shut down all oil and gas production on the planet with military force. Yes a lot of people are going to starve as a result. Better than the Earth becoming uninhabitable for us.
>>
>>540840476
If there was an equilibrium before human emissions, why was their climate change?
Climate didn't just start to change in 1850. It was changing before.
A hundred years before, a thousand years before, a million years before.
Colder than today, hotter than today, and yet we survived, even without technology or any culture.
Always changing, never at equilibrium.
>>
>>540841063
It hasn't been hotter than this before in the history of the human race, so, over the time scale you're talking about, you're wrong.

We did not exist a million years ago. In the Eocene and Pleistocene it would've been too hot for us.
>>
>>540840925
It's a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, but unlike CO2, it can enter and leave Earth's atmosphere via phase change. So while it provides a positive feedback to other equilibrium changes, it can not drive equilibrium changes itself, since it is always close to equilibrium.

No, it wasn't. The average temperature of the earth has been quite stable over the last 11,000 years before the Industrial Revolution hit. There have been regional shifts but they happened slowly over millennia and rarely varied by as much as 1 degree. We are way out of anything humans have ever seen before by now.

Costs should generally weigh against benefits. Reducing economic growth by 1% per year swamps the predicted damages from warming.

We cannot undo global warming so we should treat it as having infinite cost. We should aim to reduce our total economy - not economic growth, the economy - by 75%.

Why are you lying? It's been several warm periods warmer than now in the last 200-300 thousand years and just since the start of the holocene there has been warmer than now for a large chunk of they time.

Not if you go by Greenland ice cores which is the best proxy we have for Europe, it's cold now compared to the medieval warm period. Even global proxy median is about the same as now, it depends on the model though.

sweden's lacks many plants which used to grow here up until a few thousand or a few hundred years ago.

It's you that needs to understand something before claiming it as fact.

> Increases atmospheric CO2 increases the equilibrium surface temperature

There is no scientific proof of this. This is just an assertion.

>How is geomagnetism supposed to influence temperature?

Via the Sun and electric universe, which is the actual temperature driver of Earth.

>That doesn't tell you anything about total production
It tells you that productivity per acre is increasing, which is the opposite of what you'd expect if conditions are becoming more hostile to food crops. Pic related tells you about total production, which also includes changes in planting area.

>We cannot undo global warming so we should treat it as having infinite cost.
That's not how it works, at all. You cannot un-drink a cup of coffee, but in deciding whether or not to have one this morning, you do not assign it infinite cost. More generally, assigning infinite values in any optimization problem leads to silly results.

>We should aim to reduce our total economy - not economic growth, the economy - by 75%.
Oh, so you're just a misanthrope. Gotcha.

>Yes. We have to cut the entire world off from hydrocarbons and use military force to prevent any country burning its own gas, oil or coal.
Ladies and gentlemen, the environmentalists!

>Atmosphere of Earth (air) is made of many substances, so what part are you measuring?
The average kinetic energy.

>Where are you measuring it?
Near the surface of Earth, where humans live.

>How are measuring it?
With thermometers.

>This is not a simple problem, as explained in the paper I cited
Then quote the paper where it says this.

>So, again, what has the paper got wrong?
You know the India Google Street view meme where you pick a spot and see if there's trash there? Pick a spot in the paper. How about the second sentence of the abstract: "According to the second law of thermodynamics such a planetary machine can never exist." The second law concerns the movement of heat and limits of usable energy which can be extracted. This is unrelated to radiative equilibrium temperatures in a terrestrial atmosphere, where energy is modeled as flowing down its energy gradients, not up. The details here involve absorption and radiation spectra, emissivity, heat capacity, temperature, etc, not thermodynamic efficiency.

>There is no scientific proof of this.
There is no proof in science, period. Proof is for math, not empirical investigations. Do you understand enough science to even ask the proper question here?

>Via the Sun and electric universe, which is the actual temperature driver of Earth.
State how this works in your own words.

Wanna guess the error bars here?
