is this true
>>
>>16071230
I don't know. I'm not a climate scientist or atmospheric physicist.

I can tell you that it's possible for that to be true and for human caused CO2 to still be problem. Even if human emissions account for 0.3% of the "total greenhouse effect" by whatever metric this is referencing, if the system is very sensitive to small variations in CO2 it could still be a problem.

I don't know enough about climate change or atmospheric physics to give you a solid yes/no, but it's definitely possible for this to be true and for emissions to still be a problem.

>>16071230
A better question is, why are you posting bait threads? Are you paid to do this, or are you just a loser with nothing else to do?
By your stupid definition, the atmosphere itself is composed of nothing but greenhouse gases. Any molecule traps heat, including the nitrogen and oxygen that make up the bulk of our atmosphere. Is your snarkiness and petulance broken? Why didn’t you include these in your troll bait?
Water is not a “greenhouse gas,” because it is not a causal object adding to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Water actually takes heat out of the environment. It is a heat sink, taking 240 cal/g out of the atmosphere when it turns to water vapor, and releases that 240 cal/g when it condenses as rain. While in their condensing state in the upper atmosphere, they reflect heat away from the planet. Since water cannot exist in the upper atmosphere, it creates a global heat pump.
The problem is that other “greenhouse gases” can exist in the upper atmosphere, and so break that heat pump. This is also why abatement is the only solution. You can’t take greenhouse gases out of the upper atmosphere, and those saying we can just “capture” what is here in the lower atmosphere are shills for their industries.
Like the ones paying you.
>>
>>16073402
this is often repeated but not exactly correct

the reality is atmospheric water vapor has increased, and it CAN provide something of a feedback loop for heating (higher humidity -> higher water vapor greenhouse effect -> higher temperature -> more evaporation -> higher humidity)

however, this particular feedback loop requires that the temperature forcing from the water vapor be enough to raise both the maximum absolute humidity (i.e. how much water vapor the air can hold) AND the total evaporation sufficiently to in turn raise both of those again while exceeding the cooling from evaporation/condensation. we aren't at that temperature (if we were, the system would runaway and there wouldn't be any non-gaseous water left).

all that said, increases in other temperature forcing - like from CO2 - increases both of those things without the condensation/evaporation mechanism to cool things.

in short, water vapor makes other greenhouse effects "stickier" and more able to increase absolute temperature - it's not a fuel, but a catalyst/amplifier.

and that's not even considering how water affects planetary albedo. surface albedo from water decreases as temperature increases (another heating feedback loop; relates to loss of ice/snow reflection and high absorption of liquid water. aerosol-driven albedo is extraordinarily difficult to model, in part because it has BOTH warming and cooling effects (the same thing that makes it reflect insolation also reflects thermal radiation back down, while also simply transmitting a portion of both through itself - you quickly start having to literally model the shape and composition of every single cloud).
>>
>>16071230
Extremely misleading.

Imagine you have a bathtub with water and you add a gallon of water then take out a gallon of water. Every minute you add a gallon of water and take out a gallon of water.

Then you add a tablespoon of water every minute without taking any out. Every minute you add a tablespoon of water.

Will the water level go up, down, or stay the same?

The problem with the CO2 that we add to the atmosphere is we are taking it from CO2 buried for millions of years underground and adding it to a system that has no way of taking it out. Saying "We're only adding .3%" is worthless when we keep adding that every year, year after year, for 150 years with no natural way to remove it.

Yes. Additionally, the amount of local water vapour in an area is strongly determined by the tree cover. That is to say local climate is very strongly affected by tree coverage, surface water etc.. This in turn also determines rainfall to a greater extent than effects from vapour carried by Hadley cells etc. This is quite trivially true even though a lot of "global climate" types refuse to believe it; you can see how we are able to create artificial tropical climates in literal greenhouses (yes, these people often forget the literal thing the greenhouse effect is named after, it's pathetic). A lot of the third world countries that are suffering "climate damage" is suffering due to deforestation, desertification etc. due to over irresponsible agricultural damage and destruction of local wildlife ecosystems. Meanwhile a lot of Western countries have increased their green coverage since the 70s with the result being that there is less much environmental damage or "climate change" effects.

Of course, climate activists really fucking hate trees and would rather tear forests down if they could give money for solar panel farms. So you will not see grifters and activists ever discuss the water balance or trees in general. It's all about CO2 for them, that's where the money is.

Yeah it's true, it just doesn't have anything to do with "disproving climate change" or whatever it is you think is happening.

These are all molecularly different substances. They behave differently and heat passes through them differently. Water is 95% of the total greenhouse gas, but it's responsible for less than half of the greenhouse gas effect because infrared heat passes through it much more efficiently than CO2 and especially more than methane, which is really efficient at blocking heat.

Not only that, but the more CO2 and methane that it's the air, the more water vapor it makes. Because the extra heat makes more water vapor. From NASA:
>Some people mistakenly believe water vapor is the main driver of Earth’s current warming. But increased water vapor doesn’t cause global warming. Instead, it’s a consequence of it. Increased water vapor in the atmosphere amplifies the warming caused by other greenhouse gases.
>It works like this: As greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane increase, Earth’s temperature rises in response. This increases evaporation from both water and land areas. Because warmer air holds more moisture, its concentration of water vapor increases. Specifically, this happens because water vapor does not condense and precipitate out of the atmosphere as easily at higher temperatures. The water vapor then absorbs heat radiated from Earth and prevents it from escaping out to space. This further warms the atmosphere, resulting in even more water vapor in the atmosphere. This is what scientists call a "positive feedback loop."

While it's true that water vapor plays a significant role in Earth's climate system, attributing climate change solely to water vapor overlooks a fundamental aspect of climate science. CO2 and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect, which is essential for maintaining the Earth's habitable temperature range. While water vapor is indeed a potent greenhouse gas, its levels in the atmosphere are largely influenced by temperature changes driven by CO2 emissions and other human activities.

Scientists widely agree that the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, is the primary driver of recent global warming. This consensus is supported by decades of rigorous research, including observations, climate models, and paleoclimate data.

Moreover, water vapor behaves as a feedback mechanism in the climate system. As the atmosphere warms due to increased greenhouse gases like CO2, it can hold more water vapor, amplifying the greenhouse effect and further warming the planet. This positive feedback loop exacerbates climate change caused by CO2 emissions.

While it's essential to consider the role of water vapor in the climate system, focusing solely on it overlooks the overwhelming evidence supporting the role of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in driving contemporary climate change. Addressing the root cause of climate change requires concerted efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to renewable energy sources.

CO2 isn't a greenhouse gas. Mars has no greenhouse effect. Mars would have a massive greenhouse effect if CO2 were a greenhouse gas because Mars has over 3000% more CO2 in it's atmosphere than Earth does. Temperatures on Mars are the same as they would be if Mars has no atmosphere at all, the massive amount of CO2 in Mars' atmosphere has no measurable effect on the planet's surface temperature and this proves that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas

Yes, water vapor is by far the most important greenhouse gas, but it is the sudden increase of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) which is causing global warming.
In the very far future, when the runaway greenhouse effect turns Earth into something akin to Venus, water vapor will be the primary greenhouse involved. The increasingly bright sun will cause more of the ocean to evaporate, increasing the heat due to the increased greenhouse effect from the water vapor, causing more of the ocean to evaporate, giving positive feedback that ends up boiling the oceans.

Its wrong, if CO2 really accounted for 3.6% of Earth's greenhouse effect then Mars would have a greenhouse effect on par with Earth's since Mars has over 3000% more CO2 per unit surface area than Earth does.
Since Mars has no measurable greenhouse effect, the greenhouse effect due to CO2 on Earth must be far, far smaller than 3.6% of the overall greenhouse effect.

>we've got the reality that humans' innovation is perfectly capable of solving any problems it might bring.

If only that were true. As a species yes we would survive, but civilization as we know it would collapse.

It comes down to food supply. If the climate changes dramatically, then suddenly our entire global farming infrastructure changes with it. What happens if the climate gets tweaked enough to cause consistent drought in places that produce a large portion of our food, or flooding, or frequent damaging storms? Farming on the scale we do it on is very much an industrial process, and like any other major industrial process it relies on established infrastructure to function. You cant just pack up your gear and go farm somewhere else that suddenly is better for farming overnight. There's a colossal amount of infrastructure that has to go with the actual fields to make them useful at our scale.

Food isnt the only issue. If hailstorms happen twice as often, you're gonna have to replace your roof twice as often too. Will that kill civilization? No, but its gonna suck having a $20,000 roof replacement done every 15 years instead of every 30. It's not just the major aspects of climate change that are a problem. A lot of little things will change too, and they will add up.

the k-12 education system has failed us. You have convinced me that without dramatic action, our civilization will soon be coming to an end, regardless of climate change being real or not.

1st grade. 6, maybe 7 year old kids. That's when you learn about the water cycle. Thats when you lean that water evaporates into the air, and eventually falls back down as rain or snow, and then eventually evaporates again.

Water can be a solid, liquid, or a gas.
I'm sorry, I was gonna stop after reminding you that literal 1st graders know better, but I realized before clicking post that it's not enough.

Have you ever seen it rain? Have you not once noticed that every now and then water droplets literally fall from the sky? What could have been going through your mind when confronted with such a sight, I wonder? Did you consider where that water came from? Did you think that over beyond the horizon there is someone with a spray bottle the size of a mountain spritzing water out of the oceans and onto your home? I just cannot get over how stupid this statement is.

Increasing carbon output does not simply "bring us back". You realize that carboniferous minerals are bountiful and by extracting them (alongside organics) we're changing the balance of sequestered and free carbon. In doing so, we're trapping more energy in the system, causing instability of the entire system. Mass extinction events in the past were caused by a significant output of mineral silicon and carbon; we're simply repeating what has happened in the past (killing virtually everything on the planet).

Ad hominem. Obviously on a planet covered by 70% water there is going to be water in the fucking atmosphere.
You are monumentally retarded, christfag. Its not about how much nature contributes to the greenhouse effect. If we never existed (which would be good in your case) the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere would still be relatively the same. Otherwise there wouldn't be any fucking weather would there?
Climate Change is caused by the fact that we are pulling carbon from the ground that was deposited over millions of years and releasing it within a few decades. Therefore having adverse effects on the climate system. Such as increased temperatures. Carbon dioxide is a monumentally more powerful greenhouse gas then fucking water vapor.
Conclusion being that you are a fucking retard. I hope you'll enjoy praying to your false god for mercy while you fight over the last scraps of. resources because your retard ass couldn't comprehend that gas in atmosphere make planet hotter. See you in 2060 fuckhead. Hahaha

Mars has no measurable greenhouse effect. You can run the numbers yourself if you've ever passed astronomy 101. Astronomy students learn the planetary equilibrium temperature calculation in their first month of study, its fairly simple, just some geometry and some plug and chug with the Stefan–Boltzmann relationship. If you're not even familiar with the absolute basics of this topic then you shouldn't be trying to pose as an expert on planetary atmospheres.
>>
>>16146514
>just some geometry and some plug and chug with the Stefan–Boltzmann relationship
So if you ignore the effect of greenhouse gasses then you calculate no greenhouse effect on Mars. I'm noticing the same thing happens when I ignore the greenhouse effect on Earth.

If you're going to pretend to know what you're talking about then you might want to learn anything about the subject first.
