Scientists reaffirm ‘incontrovertible’ evidence of human influence on climate

5 days ago by silence7 to c/climate

The scientific evidence for human-caused global warming is stronger than ever, according to a major new review in Earth’s Future, AGU’s journal for research on the state of the planet and its inhabitants, sustainable and resilient societies, the science of the Anthropocene and predictions of our common future – despite a United States government report questioning the science.

A new review shows that more than three decades of climate “fingerprint” research has provided overwhelming evidence that greenhouse gas emissions are driving changes throughout Earth’s climate system.

Everyfuckingbody knows. Even the people that act like they don't know, know.

Can we please not...

Not the people I live around, but they're lost causes in more ways than one.

How many kids you have? Cars? Lawn? Food waste?

The house I bought has a lawn I plan on replacing with clover and wild flowers this year. Electric car. Avoid as much food waste as I can with a moderately autistic child that has food issues. A lot of people are trying to do better, but it's not on every day people. The vast majority of emissions are from industrial sources and farming.

The only people the reaffirming is for are people who won’t listen to it in the first place because they’re too stupid and worthless to live cohesively in a society

I don't know about these scientists.

Look, my cousin's uncle says he knows this guy and he says the earth gets cooler and warmer all the time.

So, I did my own research and found some videos on youtube that said this was true!

Now he says I should investigate the lie that the earth is round.

Turns out my dad already figuted it all out. Global warming is all a government conspiracy, weather is controlled by HAARP as a cover up for the chemtrails which are poison meant to kill 13 out of every 14 people. This is somehow all for the Rothschild family.

Right, I actually meant to close with “any day now it’s going to start happening”.. it’s just a bonkers way of thinking…

Scientists point at the ExxonMobil branded child killing machine.

"NUH UH" says ExxonMobil.

Fossil fuels are what allowed the booming of human population to 8 billion people. Even 4 was already only possible with a planet-wide fossil fuel bonanza.

So it's odd that you think that 8 billion people is the result of a child-killing machine.

Because it's having kids that will destroy us eventually.

I see the liars of the US Administration are denying science again. It must be frustrating for them to see how irrelevant they have become. I suppose it is the natural result of being headed by a man with Dementia and narcissism.

Too many still "think" it's part of some supernatural plan they were indoctrinated into, so don't worry and get a reward later for conditional belonging now! Many support the unhealthy policies with their votes, and pollute all they want to mock the science and people who want better for all life. They cling to tribalism and dualism, as instructed and to feel safe, and we all suffer for their bad choices.

As long as conservatives continue to live, the normal people will never be permitted to address climate change. Conservatives will give their lives to protect oil corporations. The only way to address climate change is to first address the existence of conservatives.

I suspect they greatly underestimate the power of the bog-standard idiot to use a non-scientific basis to dispute facts.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
