Thread: Climate Change and our Land of Fire, Flood and Drought.

Dr Karl on Twitter: "Climate has been changing for billions of years.
But, this current episode of Climate Change
1) is caused by humans
2) overwhelmingly by the CO2 we have released as a result of burning Fossil Fuels.… https://t.co/wKBbDGKfX9"

For those not twatting on twitter I've included a screenshot too

Everything I have read and the IPCC claim 1.5-2C.

NB please don't quote Greta , the ABC, The Guardian, or Extinction Rebellion.

Can't do your own research?
There are predictions up to about 11 degrees. They vary because they depend on how much emissions we make. More emissions means higher temperatures. Predicting 80 years ahead is not easy.
I'm no expert, but from what I can figure, the only thing we know for sure is that so far emissions have been higher than was predicted, so temperatures are also likely to be higher, unfortunately.

Now you're just being silly, AM!

It's quite obvious that I'd drown in 105% as my head would be permanently underwater.

And emissions will not reduce. They will only reduce per capita as population grows - nett result will be ongoing increases in emissions.

Population will be the primary problem.

Electricity emissions reduced each year for three years when we had a carbon tax, but then resumed rising after it was foolishly abolished.

All of you posters who ridiculed my post about 42 degrees average celcius.

You now have the opportunity to put up or SHUT UP!

Show me scientifically qualified proof of areas on this planet where humans are living continuously without support in AVERAGE temperatures of 42c + .....

Its a forum not a scientific/academic paper where references and citations are required - so as it is a forum, no supporting evidence needs to be provided

Oh and I didn't disagree with you because I dont know but what you said sounds about right.
