There's a slight misconception here, there's a longer lag time between CO2 release and its effect on warming.
What I'm saying is that we've not even begun to see the worst effects of what we've already put into the atmosphere.
Next year is already forecast to be much worse. Mostly due to El Niño making things even worse.
Yup, CO2 stays in the athmosphere for centuries. We only feel the start of the warming right now and it is not about to level off even if we stopped with all emissions tomorrow.
Agreed. This year's spike is due to the banning of sulfur-based emissions from shipping vessels in the pacific. Sulfur emissions only last about 2 weeks in the atmosphere before being rained out, but they contribute significantly to the aerosol cooling effect.
So far *
Nah I just read on Fox News that the 1930s were hotter, the 1970s were colder than normal and were now just returning to normal.
So… Uncle Rupert says we’re good. Nothing to see here, folks.
Look on the bright side right?
bright from the heat radiation?
Climate change is showing the effects a lot more now.
It's time people from the north start giving climate immigration visas.
Come on up, the rain is pouring!
That would be a pretty bad idea for those countries
But that cant be true! I'm currently dealing with one of the mildest summers ever in my region, it's all a hoax! /s just in case
God help us, and may the people responsible for this be tried
If there was a God, this trend would be evidence of his ambivalence (i.e., lack of benevolence).
It was a figure of speech, I'm agnostic
They won’t. In fact most of them are already dead. Now we’re just dealing with their bratty kids.
Pretty sure companies like Shell still exist. There's still a lot of big polluters who don't want to be held responsible.
Can't wait!!
