Hello, climate scientist here! You’re wrong! The developed world and their consumption is largely what drives the environmental abuse in developing nations.

View on Reddit #22629979

nuttabutta667@reddit

Well a great way to better visualize it is to actually look at what happens when a bomb goes off. This can be any kind of bomb really, but we do have video of nuclear tests online that show the massive scale of these explosions. I'm sure you've seen mushroom clouds before and what you're seeing in that cloud is just dust degree and particles that got shot into the air from the massive force of the explosion. The difference with older atom bombs is they would contaminate that dust with radioactive particles that would also get shot up and carried around. Removing the radioactive aspects of this scenario you will still get a sizable cloud of dust shot into the air, but this just isn't going to give people radiation sickness. There are still health risks obviously like the fact that you might breathe in dust which is bad for your lungs. You just won't grow an extra limb or have your flesh melt off your arms. (Not that those are real symptoms of radiation sickness, but you get the point.)

>Me, you and everyone reading this won't make it and nor will their children. Least paranoid climate take. You are acting as if the air on earth will suddenly start burning. This is not what will happen. Average temperature will get a few degrees higher, which means that people in already hot climates will struggle while people in temperate zones will need to bear a few degrees more. Countries like Germany will start installing ACs and they will be fine. We are producing several times the food that we need. We are able to filter sea water to make it drinkable. If you live in the civilized part of the planet, **your danger of starving or dying due to lack of water will not become notable due to climate change**.

really funny to think that the problems climate change will be solved by just “start installing ACs” as if personal climate control is the problem and not things like habitat devastation or a sudden collapse of biodiversity or changing weather patterns or desertification of arable land or chronic water shortages as consumption dramatically exceeds replenishment and we run out of aquifers.

You’re correct, and I can’t believe how moronic everyone else is. People might have to move and insurance costs will increase, but that’s about it. Calling the threat “existential” is completely delusional. People live in Antarctica, in the desert, Venice is literally underwater and sinking, you know what they did? Move up one floor. We had 10x the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at one point, there were forests on the poles, temps were 8 degrees warmer and there was the largest explosion of life in evolutionary history. We’re going to be fine. Thriving even.

I’m not saying humanity is about to go extinct, but things are not going to be ‘just fine’. You fully admit that things might change but do you have any idea what happens to an ecosystem when conditions change so rapidly that they can’t evolve quick enough to adapt?
View on Reddit #22701804

jackedcatman@reddit

Yes, things are already changing. Where we are, we have fewer days sub 0 in the winter and more days above 90 in the summer. Luckily, there are plants in almost every temperature range on this planet, we also have livestock, genetically engineered crops that can grow in nearly every growing zone, and a lot of technology that can capture carbon or reverse climate change effects if we need to deploy them. The only reason we don't deploy carbon capture right now is because it's expensive and Nothing is changing even close to as fast or as drastic as you're implying, the animals will be fine. We have large populations of humans and animals in death valley California. You: DO YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF AN ASTEROID HIT US?!?! Me: There are no significant asteroids about to hit us. Projections of asteroids to come are so small they'll burn in the atmosphere, and we have proven technology to redirect any large asteroids should they come into our path. You: THIS MUST BE SATIRE, DO YOU GET WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?!? Me: Yeah. Same thing as I just said, there's literally nothing to worry about. Chill bro, you have articulated nothing, your statements of catastrophe are backed by nothing but speculation because you clearly haven't looked into the issue at all beyond "everyone agrees on my team this is a major problem so I must also take the extreme position." What do you know about the history of the planet's CO2 levels and how life has responded? I'm sure you know in the last 120 years we've gone from about 390 ppm CO2 to 440 ppm, an increase for sure. But I'm sure you also knew levels have been as high as 6,000 ppm. How many years do you think until we reach that point? Keep in mind we're already mitigating reasonably well. What does sea level rising an inch a decade even mean to you? Are you honestly worried that we might have to build dykes and levees like in Amsterdam or New Orleans? Are you worried about sea walls being built? Are you concerned about Ocean-side property owners 100 years from now having to pay high taxes and insurance costs to protect their property? Why? How do you think plant life responds to higher CO2 levels? (I'll give you a hint, plants grow much larger and fuller, resulting in CO2 mitigation which is part of the reason scientists have looked so dumb predicting faster change than has actually happened). Are there crops that grow in higher temperatures? Yeah, almost all crops can handle significantly higher temps. We grow grains in Canada and Oklahoma, and it shouldn't surprise you that there's way more than a 2 degree average temperature difference between these locations. You really have no idea what you're talking about here. No one that is alarmed about climate change does, because if they did know all this, they wouldn't be alarmed. The people that are alarmed are making a lot of money on speaking tours and selling books. They cherry pick disastorous projections because there's nothing to sell otherwise. I'm not making anything here, I have no bias. The truth about climate change is just that it's changing, very slightly, very slowly, yes accelerated by humans, and the biggest problem will be that it's expensive to deal with.
View on Reddit #22723708

1playerpartygame@reddit

We are not mitigating reasonably well, you’re just sticking your head in the sand with your primary school understanding of how the biosphere works. “We have humans living in Death Valley so we must be fine” as if humans living in inhospitable grow all their own food and collect all their water in their back garden. Also carbon capture is not a real solution to climate change, you cannot simply wave a net in the air and take carbon dioxide out of the air for free. I’m going to leave this conversation now since it’s extremely obvious that you don’t know what you’re taking about, I had a physics teacher that ran as an MP in a party that denies the existence of climate change who was more realistic about its possible effects than you are.

There's no real problem, you can't point to a single realistic problem we will have in the next 100 years. Everything you suggest will be disasterous has been predicted for 30 years with absolutely no change in the reality. Once again, you've offered nothing besides saying "no, it's a huge problem just trust me, I listen to other people that told me it's a problem." You miss the point on the Death Valley, we also have people living in Venice, and Maldives, and Antarctica, and the Amazon, and every other climate on the planet. Your notion it will happen quicker than we can adapt (using technology we already have) is supported by nothing.

It’s not about humans, we’ll survive if temperatures get too high, it’s about animals and plants that support our ecosystems and allow our crops to grow and thrive. Bees die off pretty much right away when temperatures hit 40C. Extended periods of that means our most productive pollinators face regional extinction. No pollinators=no crops=starvation. I don’t think it’s about 1-2 degrees warmer on average, it’s a problem that revolves around unstable climate and extreme heat waves, storms, and cold snaps that have been more and more common in the past few years. Shit it hit 45 degrees C two summers ago in western Canada and 40 C the past three summers. That’s never happened before for as long as I’ve been alive.

It’s not about the absolute temperature, it’s about the rate it’s getting hotter. Hot or cool periods last millions of years, global temperature changes are measured over millennia.

Kitahara_Kazusa1@reddit

There's different optimum temperatures for different animals to live in different environments. For example, a very warm earth with most of the globe completely uninhabitable and sea levels flooding half the world would still provide a great environment for some species to live in Antarctica. However, that would also mean the extinction of most species so it's obviously not ideal. In general we would want a slow change to give things time to adapt, sea levels to remain constant or even fall a bit (more land), and for all but the most extreme areas of the globe to be able to support some kind of life.
View on Reddit #22624721

mleibowitz97@reddit

There's no optimum temperature for "the earth". As you've said, it's been quite colder, and quite warmer, over time. Humans are quite adaptable. The problem is the rate of climate change itself. Organisms aren't adapting fast enough. Droughts and extreme events (ex: hurricanes) are becoming more frequent. Oceans are rising (which causes floods in coastal areas) and acidifying - which kills sea life. These can, will, and *are* directly impacting our food supply. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/publications/climate-change-faqs/how-do-we-know-climate-change-is-happening/

Climate change will never be a meaningful problem in your life. It’s literally not something to worry about. Amsterdam, Venice, New Orleans are already built below sea level. Insurance prices for coastal properties are probably the biggest concern. The other changes will take hundreds of years to occur and we can rebuild anything we want to. Disrupting the economy is 100% more detrimental than any side effect of climate change, and most of the predictions of climate change have already been shown to be huge exaggerations. Carbon capture technology already exists, it’s just expensive and not currently worth it because there’s not actually a big looming threat. If it was actually a problem we could stop using fossil fuels immediately. It will never be a bigger problem than stopping the use of combustion engines would be.

Humans have only kept *somewhat* accurate temperature records for the past ~200 years. Climate change isn’t purely due to human intervention, it’s the nature of a fucking planet. The climate changes. There’s no way to stop that. Over certain periods of time, it’ll get hotter. Over certain periods of time, it’ll get colder. That’s just how it works.

Climate models have been wrong as long as they’ve existed. Humans will destroy biodiversity long before rising temperatures. And temperatures will rise as the sun continues its main sequence anyway.

Necessity breeds innovation. Or action. When the affects are right in your face obvious, it will be solved. Probably not in the most efficient way, and probably after a lot of damage has been done, but I guarantee this won’t be the end of humanity. We have carbon capture tech it’s just not cheap. Just like solar, when it’s applied a lot the price will fall. Hybrids will likely get more popular as gas prices rise, when fake meat is near identical to real meat and cheaper, it will replace it in low cost scenarios (fast food, ground beef, fried).  When there’s money to be saved or had, is when we thrive. If it becomes cheaper to run green energy/fuel, either to shortages or government legislation, we will pivot on a dime. It’s just a matter of time.

Those results are based on mice not humans and are not a mutation of the strain we saw in the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally high fatality rate diseases spread very poorly. They have a neglibible R0. The idea that there is a 100% lethal virus with a spread rate as high as Covid 19 sitting in a lab in china is just tiktok nonsense.

YaBoiAsgore@reddit

the late stages of global consumerism might be one of if not the main cause of global warming, but much of it is because of things like plastic production, fossil fuels still running 80% of the earth, and careless manufacturing practices. a lot of this can be fixed by just changing to less impactful alternatives, which while expensive will be a necessity sooner or later. along with this, carbon capture technologies are being developed to reverse what we have already put up into the atmosphere, along with projects like re-freezing arctic/antarctic waters to reflect more heat away.
