to quote him



"is global warming real? yes. do I think it's man made? yes. will the sun grow large enough in billons of years and swallow the Earth? yes. so yes we should take the long term approach to global warming that the sun will destroy Earth."

Huh?

To be fair, we just passed the carbon tipping point, so we've fucked the environment pretty hard at this stage of the game. I'm not saying stop environmental efforts, but until we can focus on getting good energy in use like Nuclear and Solar on a much larger scale, there's not much else that can be done.

that is harsh but true storm

Snide "tipping points" are like "assault weapons" they aren't real they're just arbitrary.

This album still rules

nuclear>>> yeah obv

"nuclear>>> yeah obv"

Me in every environmental thread on this site.

I'm pretty sure its been proven that global warming has a made in china sticker on it

"Snide "tipping points" are like "assault weapons" they aren't real they're just arbitrary."

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people being able to own whatever gun they want (as long as they go through the necessary background checks), but I'm pretty sure that there's quite a bit of scientific evidence backing up that we've gotten past that carbon tipping point (and it's not comparable to the US's slang term for certain types of guns imo)

Jill Stein is a panderer and I would pay a wrestler to cut a promo on her pandering.

we should have a nasa/space discovery thread.

Yes it is comparable. During IPCC drafting they just randomly said 2.0 degrees C is the "tipping point" for examining "warming locked into the pipeline." Why? Who fucking knows. Random number.

Space thread?

Did they ever prove / disprove Einstein's theory on White Holes existing? (Counterpart to Black Holes)

@Ghost: Both of those are off the collar examples compared to a tipping point that has multiple scientific papers backing the theory up.

There is not a tipping point. It's a made up term to accelerate policy change. It's not real.

"However, it seems more appropriate to view the system as having multiple tipping points and thresholds that range in importance and scale from the smallest ecosystem to the size of the planet. As the system is forced into new configurations more and more of those points are likely to be passed, but some of those points are more globally serious than others. An appreciation of that subtlety may be useful when reading some of the worst coverage on the topic." - Gavin Schmidt, head of NASA's climate science division.

Alright, let me rephrase then. The amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is up to 400 parts per million, which is basically almost impossible to bring down at this stage. So the term makes sense.

Again, random fucking number.

350 parts per million is the amount that we need to keep in order for our climate to be sustainable. We're way past that.
