Is global warming a meme? Why do people say climate change now instead of global warming?

the planet's temperature is always changing, that's a natural cycle
but the rising CO2 levels are caused by humans burning shit on an industrial scale
and CO2 is a greenhouse gas that helps warming up the planet faster

i'm more concerned about the CO2 as a gas rather than the weather impact
it's at 400 ppm now but should get nowhere near 1000 ppm
around 1000 ppm is when it starts to affect your concentration
>>
>>16511869
>CO2 is a greenhouse gas
no it isn't. mars would be extremely warm if co2 was a greenhouse gas since mars has over 30 times more atmospheric co2 per unit surface area than earth does. mars has no measurable greenhouse effect and this proved that co2 is not a greenhouse gas

mars is cold because it barely has any atmosphere and is further from the sun than earth
venus is the extreme example of CO2 greenhouse effect making a planet hot
>>
>>16511874
Mars has a thin and less pressurized atmospheres, meaning its less of a heat trap than Earth. This is the same reason why it's so hard to land a probe on Mars. Also it's further away from the Sun which means it receives less solar radiation.
>>
>>16511892
how come the co2 on mars doesn't produce a greenhouse effect? is co2 magically only a greenhouse gas on earth? does physics work differently on earth than it does on mars for some reason?
>>
>>16512190
>how come the co2 on mars doesn't produce a greenhouse effect?
It does: the effect of CO2 on outgoing radiation has been clearly observed on Mars and Venus (see pic)
Why the overall temperature change is small: 1) Mars is further from the Sun, so the surface is cooler due to lower solar input, and emits less outgoing radiation; 2) thin atmosphere leads to low pressure broadening and lower absorptivity of CO2; there's no water vapour to enhance the greenhouse effect; and so on, and so forth.
If you still disagree then, by all means - show quantitatively that the modern greenhouse theory doesn't predict Mars temperatures after taking the above points into account.
>>
>>16512557
Mars how zero measurable greenhouse effect yet it has massive amounts of atmospheric CO2, so CO2 is clearly not a greenhouse gas

>>16511245
Definitely overblown even if humans are pumping CO2 into the atmosphere. Given that there are such huge variations in global temperature in the past >>16511865, there's no way to objectively determine "normal" global temperature over the last 2 centuries. Without a control, you're basically guessing.

Those temperature/year/CO2 graphs are very deceptive as you can easily adjust the scale of any axes to show a strong, weak, or no correlation.

Scientists have never done any serious experiments to test the climate change theory. That alone should tell you that their arguments are specious at best.

Because the Bush administration ran a very successful psyop and climate change sounds less threatening than global warming. Change can be a good thing, right? Things are always changing, right? So we can ignore it and keep burning fossil fuels, leaving Bush and his cronies rich.
I wish, I was a schizo for typing this.
>In 2002, a memo was written by Frank Luntz for the Republican Party on how to address environmental issues (Luntz, 2002). Luntz suggested that Republicans should update their terminology when discussing the environment, by describing themselves as conservationists, rather than preservationists or environmentalists, as the former had more positive connotations. Secondly, he suggested that Republicans use the term climate change instead of global warming, as the latter was deemed less controllable, more catastrophic, and more emotionally challenging. It was suggested that these simple changes in terminology would assist the Republicans in winning the environmental debate.

But it does. So does Venus by the way.

The fact that both planets have measurable greenhouse effects consistent with their respective atmospheric pressures proves that CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

CO2 is an isolator for very few wave lengths. As a trace gas it has nearly no heat transport capability. The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere (wich has all this) is 100 times greater and has way more greenhouse properties than everything else in the atmosphere. Further is the concentration rise a lie. i know because people calibrating smoke detectors have the equipment.

Climate change is a local phenomena, while global warming is global.

For instance rainforests likely wont change their climate at the world warms, it'll remain a tropical climate, while other parts of the world, will have their climates change. An example is that a larger proportion of the US has a humid subtropical climate now than 100 years ago.

Global warming and climate change are a right wing conspiracy theory. They literally adopt these words to make scientists out to be kooky/crazy/deranged/woman-like/etc. Picture Jim Jones or some other suicide cult like J6.
The only official narrative is not some doomer-tier end of the world non-sense. The non-sensational version is undetermined intermittently unseasonable environmental variance.
It is crucial to unpack this statement, but if you aren't apart of the scientific community, then you are going to lead yourself astray here. I will give you some breadcrumbs.
>environmental variance
Why isn't this temperature variation? Well, there are many variables that are affected. By limiting the scope to temperature, the precision excludes knock-on unseasonability.

It was an attempt at 'better' Science Communication and public marketing.
When people heard "Global Warming" the average person thought of palm trees growing in the UK, dramatic increases in arable land in Canada & Russia, and so forth. They changed it to "Climate Change" in an effort to better communicate the fact that when the planet heats up due to increases in greenhouse gases what you actually get is more extreme weather systems: worse droughts, worse rain, worse winds, worse winters, etc..

>Is global warming a meme

Not completely, no.
Is Anthropomorphic climate change fake and gay? No, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1SgmFa0r04&t=40s&ab_channel=NASAGoddard Without any frills what's basically happening is Northern Hemisphere countries (like America and China) create seasonal spikes in emissions during the winter months when energy demands are at their highest and this creates atmospheric discrepancies & disturbances the planet finds "yucky" (The planet craves homeostasis: if we released the exact amount of emissions, every year, for a hundred years, it would be better than sporadic amounts) which result in storms, droughts, climate change, etc. Emission levels then lower during the summer when the plants come out and engorge themselves, but every year there's a little bit more excess that doesn't get ate up - that's what climate scientists are worried about and what actually contribute to the planet getting warmer.

With all that said: everything negative we commonly attribute to global warming can be alleviated with better environmental stewardship.
Carbon credits are a scam, net zero is a scam, the only thing that *actually* makes a differences is sequestering and preserving habitat for plants and animals. Which isn't hard, nor does it actually cost money, but it doesn't *make* money, so it may as well be satanic.

A trace gas at 0.04% will destroy the planet if it goes to 0.08%. despite having been there before. It's by pure chance the main thermostat of the planet and at the same time a gas that human activity produces.
Only a small priesthood of people with a stake in its promotion can do the calculations that show how it works and they are aggressively hostile to all outsiders.

Its an overrated threat and the best response is reforestation efforts, investment in nuclear, and more recycling of agricultural and sewage waste.

>use petrochem to make fertilizer
>runs off into the ocean
>instead of recycling that waste back into the environment and increasing soil fertility it creates oceanic dead zones

There is a stupid amount of waste that could be recycled back into the system. The technology exists in the form of biogasification and supercavitation supercritical water oxidization. Can sink a ton of carbon into the soil and make very fertile soil that last for centuries.
>>
>>16534066
One issue is flood mitigation bc the most likely outcome is increased high rainfall events. Desertification is a bullshit lie outcome. Global warming leads to warm wet climates, not desertification. Floods are the primary threat. Current hydro projects might have to be expanded to handle high level rainflow events. I would not buy property on a 1000 year flood plain, bc those will become 100 year flood plains, and 10 year flood plains.
>>
>>16534074
Thus the best use of flood plains is flood plain agriculture, rice and fish aquaculture. Chinampas are a historical solution as well.

NO was terribly mismanaged.

NO should be converted to chinampas. That would suck up all the agricultural waste effluent that runs off the mississippi and creates the big dead zone in the gulf.
They blame that dead zone on global warming but the real problem is ag runoff sends a shitton of nitrogen into the ocean there, creates algal blooms which suck up all the oxygen and kills the ecosystem. All that nitrogen instead could be sucked up by a chinampas agricultural zone and used for food. In a natural system, swamps would suck up all that runoff, uptake the nutrients, and prevent algal blooms.
>>
>>16534247
This is also the case in the various bays. All the ag runoff carries excess nitrogen waste which comes from petrochem fertilizer. It just gets wasted and creates algal bloom dead zones, but if it was used for either chinampas or aquaculture projects, that nitrogen runoff could be used to grow more food instead of fucking up the ecosystem. There have been at least some programs to promote planting trees and plants along the rivers in ag zones to suck up some of the nutrient runoff but its not a 100% solution. Theres no reason not to recapture waste nutrients. There is no such thing as waste, only untapped resources due to ignorance of the potential.
>>
>>16534250
>>16534247
People like to claim food is abundant, but look at the prices and the waste. Its abundant until some system fails. And it all relies on pumping massive amounts of petrochem imported from overseas, and then it gets dumped into the ocean. It is stupid and wasteful. Bad engineering.

Lets look at net biomass productivity, if we want to really discuss carbon sequestration.

As you'll see, rainforests and temperate forests, wetlands, and estuaries, are all the greatest carbon sequestration environments, thus if you really care about carbon sequestration, you want to convert as much of the ecosystem into these kinds of environments. Your stupid ass machines that are using electricity to suck carbon out of the air are never going to match converting entire ecosystems into carbon sinks, unless you run them off of nuclear plants, which the west refuses to build.

>durrr use carbon based electricity sources to suck carbon out the air

Stupid. Fucking. Retards.
>>
>>16534273
Also, with the right sort of agriculture, you can get more food from a forest environment than from a field system. You can have cattle and bison in a forest ecosystem, theres trees that provide forage instead of growing grain. Forests also clean the atmosphere of pollutants better than fields do, and are water sponges, and also provide for moisture transport from the ocean inland, reducing drought conditions. Theres also ways of landscaping the forest terrain to prevent forest fires (grazing animals to prevent excess underbrush, microponds and subsurface swale water retention keeping the trees retaining moisture, etc).

Ive researched this stuff extensively. You could create nearly self managing long term ecosystems that provide both food and energy to billions of people scattered in small villages instead of clustered in miserable hive cities.
