It is a pretty conclusive graph. I am wondering if the 11 year scale would be better to align with solar cycles. This will show there is no correlation between cycles and temperatures.

But then there is 100 000y orbit shape cycle and 41 000y tilt cycle and 26 000y wobble cycle. Although current understanding is that those are too long cycles to have this rapid warming effect

"Keep warming under 1.5c"...

Yea, we crossed that threshold already. Right now were on track for warming of 5c, and we refuse to endure any pain switching off fossil fuel.

That time long sailed. If we dealt with emissions are Al Gore showed us the hockey stick we coulda done this without pain.

Now, its too late. We have to drastically cut and that means giving things up. We need carbon taxes, gas taxes and extreme taxes on anything emission based.

>We have to drastically cut and that means giving things up.

You're not wrong, but I'm not sure you understand how tightly society is tied to fossil fuels. Severe cuts that would actually move the needle wouldn't just be people putting on a sweater in winter and giving up air conditioning in the summer. It would literally mean that billions of people would have to give up eating as we try to grow crops without the use of fossil fuels-based fertilizers.

GMN123 t1_izt2xr4 wrote

Getting off fossil fuels is not going to happen because anyone chose to. It'll be because better, cheaper alternatives come along. Like with electric cars, they aren't a compromise, they're an improvement.

We might be a little way off those improvements in others areas, but they'll come. When we develop fusion or a cheap mass storage option for renewables we'll not burn gas or coal for power or heating much longer.

We could stop using huge amounts of oil to create the huge amounts of food required to feed cattle that become our beef meat. And pets. Dear God, why are we buying carnivores as pets? We can do so much that would help and all we'll miss out on are cheap beef burgers. I can handle that.

Technically, this would improve food yields relative to fertilizer utilization, but it does nothing to deal with fossil fuels for farm equipment, transport, processing, refrigeration, etc - and you would STILL need massive amounts of fertilizer to feed the existing population. The carrying capacity of the earth without advanced fertilizers is probably in the neighborhood of 3 to 4 billion people.

It's also politically untenable, of course. I think that you will find that the majority of the population is simply not willing to give up meat in their diets. A solution that nobody is able to implement isn't really much of a solution.

That's not true, the USA has had drastic decreases in carbon emissions over the last two decades in spite of not having these kinds of policies that would specifically harm the poorest in our society.

This question seems to be based on the misconception that energy = fossil fuels. The point such a tax would be to account for the true cost of using fossil fuels, rather than renewables, for energy.

Well, for that you have to thank politicians who were deeeeep in the oil and gas pockets. They did nothing to construct clean energy stuff.

So now we are paying the price for that. No one of us wanted this, except for the greedy companies and some politicians.

You can wear thermo clothing. You can drive an electric car or bicycle and demand better infrastructure and public transport. Plenty of opportunities.

Not doing anything and crying about not having enough gas, which itself harms the climate, is not the solution.

The US has decreased some emissions, but far too few and little. It needs to go to zero.

Drastically? The CO2 emissions per Capita have been reduced by less than a quarter in the last 30 years. And the total emissions are almost at an all time high.

A few developed countries have reduced significantly their emissions, mostly the Eu, but the USA is not one of them, the only reductions are caused by an increased efficiency in the technology used, definitely not because of efficient climate policies or a shift in the public opinion on the matter.

The USA is the richest country on earth by far, and it's doing nothing, and the problem is not that people wouldn't be able to heat their homes or fuel their cars, there is plenty of wealth to spare, but people just don't care enough, even though doing something is in their best interest, but it doesn't benefit them in the short term

"ALMOST at an all time high" seems more fitting than "drastically reduced" when referring to a 20% reduction.

Your initial argument is that the USA "drastically" reduced emissions without harming the poorest part of the population, and my point is that it is simply not true. The USA produces the same emissions that it did 50 years ago, does it seem enough to you? The USA hasn't suffered from climate change policies because it has not put in place any meaningful climate policy.

Following the same path of the EU would be more than enough, and probably more than anyone expects or asks from the USA, the EU produces roughly half the tons of Co2 both per Capita and per dollar of value produced compared to the US. And the US is probably richer than the average European country, so the lack of money is probably not the problem.

A pollutant or novel entity[1] is a substance or energy introduced into the environment that has undesired effects, or adversely affects the usefulness of a resource.

Co2 has the unwanted and negative effect of absorbing infrared emissions of the earth surface, so it is a pollutant. I'm really curious as to why co2 is not a pollutant according to you, because plants use it?

Almost every single process in the modern US requires some form of hydrocarbon pulled out of the ground to function. Are you willing to go back to the days when you need to ride into town on a horse? Is your entire city willing to do that? No Amazon, no internet, no Reddit, no A/C, no Walmart, no skyscrapers, you don't even get to insulate your house, tap water is out too, and on and on and on. You don't even get to use solar panels or modern wind turbines. At best you get some old fashioned wooden windmills and small hydroelectric dams.

99% of your clothes are out because it takes power and infrastructure made out of or requiring the use of those hydrocarbons to make your cotton and wool clothes. Ceramic dishes are out because they need the power to light their kilns on the scale to give you a set. Lightbulbs are made from plastic and metal heated using burning hydrocarbons. That computer or phone you're on absolutely requires hydrocarbons to make. Toss your new iPhone 15 in the garbage if you want cLiMaTe ChAnGe to be addressed.

In order to get the desired outcome you seek, EvErYoNe will need to go back to the early 1800s US society. That's also likely to take Feminism, LGBT, and Civil Rights along with it. And you have no idea if other states or countries will agree or not. China can just say No and what are you going to do? Line up muskets to fight tanks and nuclear weapons?

People aren't going to agree to cut back on anything and at best will pass the blame to a scapegoat. The standards of living drop will be catastrophic. No one will agree to going back to what amounts to be the stone age just to save the planet. Sad, but true. But the planet will survive. Did you know that when the Siberian Traps were formed, Earth became Venus for a few million years. Did most life perish? Yes. Did the Earth survive? Also yes.

If you really want to live a life where everything is green and no pollution is there, go on a one-way trip to Mars and homestead it.

It's not climate change. All the cities are way hotter than the surrounding forests because they're made from steel, glass, concrete, and asphalt, which soak up ambient heat like a sponge and slowly release it over the day. Additionally, the lack of plant life to help cool the air by respiring water brought up from underground means the temperature goes up and up and up. Not all the heat manages to escape which increases the average temperature. Repeat this process over the years and it looks like it's way hotter than it should be. Go to some national park in France and surprise! the climate history suggests no climate change is happening at all.

You can test this by sitting on some hot asphalt road and compare it to sitting in the field of grass and then comparing that to sitting in a forest. Guarantee you'll be sweating on that road in a few minutes.

In the UK, it just so happens that they cut down the majority of their forests, urbanized the place, and people just keep wanting to immigrate there. This ain't the middle of the Rockies where no one lives.

No not at all. I'll be the first to admit I haven't actually done any real research into climate change (unless you count reading reddit and listening to the news)

So genuine question, when we are talking about the world changing, is this sample size large enough? -

Also, considering the temperature during these years at its hottest (summer) gets to around 20 degrees - and coldest gets to around 0. When we say the "Average" (which is actually "Mean" in this data set) what does that mean for interpreting the data? (Obviously seeing it go from Cold-Blue to Hot-Red tries to infer how we should interpret).

Edit: To be VERY CLEAR - Humans are absolutely contributing to the climate changing - like 97% of scientists are agreed on that. (and I agree with them) but... in this post we are talking about "how much" its changed because of us... so my question is, "is this data set large enough"?

dawglet t1_izt5ubk wrote

The data set in question is the one that is historically chronologically complete, in the sense that there are daily records from one location that can be compiled together. Before the 1880s no one was keeping regular temperature data so everything before that has to be inferred with other scientific techniques like ice core samples.

So, the answer to your first question is realistically and statistically, no. It is not a large enough data set to draw conclusions from, since this a sample from one place for 140ish years and climate happens all over the globe from the present all the way back to you know the foundation of the planet. Trouble is, this graph can be drawn from location points all over the world with similar windows of time. This is just the longest one with this type of granularity, so it gets used all the time.

I don't know how the average/mean temperature for a day is calculated, if 24 points were measured every hour and averaged out for a day or what. I'm sure you could find out this info with some google fu.

I'd recommend the XKCD comic on earth temperature. It gives you a long enough time line to understand the enormity of the change we're experiencing right now.

I think you might have misunderstood! I believe that each block is a year — I get how it’s confusing, I don’t love the year tick marks on the Y-axis. But yeah, each cube is a year, the cube furthest to the left is labeled on the Y-axis.

I realize people think this shows a lot of data but 137 years is nothing in geologic time.

Interesting way to show the positive trend. You also capture year to year variability well. Thumbs up from a climate scientist.

I keep saying the earth is cooling. The increase of volcanic activity. Sun storms etc. we are just in the time between ice ages. Pray that we and are children and there children live are lives before the ice comes yet again. When it does come, and it always is inevitable, people will suffer like modern history has not seen!

What is the x-axis? I am assuming that are the months just because there are twelve different cells... Just write the axis guys

Gratuitous use of 2D when it is a 1D function and a simple line chart would show everything more clearly. This https://imgur.com/vEyJyrX contains all the information in a simpler form and the trend is clearer.

I know it’s not good to say this but in a way, for the UK this is kind of a win. It won’t be elsewhere in the world, but warmer isn’t bad. Can start growing grapes again!

I find it funny everyone thinks I'm saying climate change doesn't exist. I was just giving my thoughts on this month so far which compared to last 2 months, is super cold. But I guess I get where you all are coming from, I didn't give it much context.

Idk man, honeslty looks likebthere is a warming trend over the whole graph. Human emissions really didnt kick off until the 1950s. Id say this support the hypothosis that the warm period were in isnt entirely manmade.

Shoopdawoop993 t1_izswfgk wrote

So yes, the earth was already warming before co2 concentrations rose? Looks like youre agreeing with me.

And what makes 320 the dividing line in that graph beyond looking nice

marriedacarrot t1_iztvr5p wrote

Look at the graph again. CO2 (thick black line) is rising from the start of the graph.

320 ppm is used because that was the concentration in 1965 when scientists began reporting on this phenomenon more formally.

That’s also my take. I think man made pollution is harming the climate. But the Earth goes in natural cycles of warming and cooling. It’s really hard to distinguish what amount is human caused or natural with the little data we have.

It's actually not difficult to differentiate, it is just a rather long and boring explanation. If you really are interested in the topic I can only recommend 'Climate Change is a Nightmare' by UpIsNotJump. It is not highly scientific and does a good job at explaining the topic in a rather short, easy to access format. It also debunks statements like 'we are just in a warmer part of the cycle' etc.

Quid_Pro-Bro t1_izt2o23 wrote

Thanks for the video. It was interesting. The carbon and temperature correlation is quite strong. From the same video though, the Earth tilts between 22-24 degrees. 24 being when the earth is warming and has the most CO2 and 22 when it’s the coldest and least CO2. If the Earth is currently at 23.5 degrees, doesn’t that mean the earth is currently in a natural warming cycle as well? Again I’m not arguing that global warming isn’t real. I am saying this is a combination of natural and manmade processes.

kadarch t1_izt7nyr wrote

It has been a bit since I watched the video, but I think it stated our 23.5 degress were decreasing in the sense that we have reached the 24 some time ago and it is now decreasing again which would mean we would naturally begin cooling again.
