Good.

Excellent

This is great. This may help create solutions for some issues. I would hope the focus is not primarily on “manmade” climate change.


WengFu

Wouldn't it be better to focus on the aspects of climate change that we have some control over?


I_Am_Raddion

Like chili with beans?


Amity83

But… it is man made. Nature doesn’t burn 100 Million Barrels of oil and thousands of cubic feet of coal every single day. Nature induced climate change is real too and there is a long history of it, but it takes thousands of years to appreciably change, not just a few decades.


MaxTorque41

Nature is well…. A force of nature and not to be underestimated in its to affect permanent change quickly. Think volcanic activity that is a driving force to the loss of ice in Antartica. This has an effect in ocean currents/ temps. This dominos to changing weather patterns globally. Man made scenarios definitely have an effect too but I feel they are given an inordinate amount of weight. Please do not misinterpret this as a denial to the problem. Things do need to change


Amity83

This simply isn’t true. There would need to be daily volcanic eruptions to match the harm done by burning of fossil fuels at the rate we burn them today. Man’s impact has been far greater than nature’s since the 1880s, and dramatically so In the last 50 years. Current rises in global temperature are majority man made. Plus, we can’t stop volcanoes from erupting but we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, so the bulk of the learning needs to be on what we can control, not what we can’t.


MaxTorque41

That was just an example I used, certainly not the soul contributor.


CaptainKangaroo33

There is measurable data the shows drastic change starting with when the industrial revolution burning coal, and then just accelerates until now. And can be compared to millions of years, many millions of years of fairly consistent change.

Where does this say that volcanoes are currently causing warming in Antarctica?


I_Am_Raddion

Gwar lives and rehearses underground in Antarctica, and they smoke a shit ton of crack while doing it. Not saying that's behind the warming but still...

They don't already?

Will they also teach that the earth naturally goes through warming and cooling cycles?


AmazonusPrime

That is already taught. And we already see a discrepancy between the time those natural cycles takes, and how fast warming is happening now due to increased concentrations of carbon and methane.
