Hey, James. Yeah, you were right, the earth was warmer several thousand years ago. But ONLY IN SOME Parts and that means Greenland. But when you are analysing the temperature of the whole planet, then you will found out, that the earth was never this warm before, while humans lived on her

Mike C
October 15, 2020 at 8:42 pm
+40 degrees Celsius, global mean temperatures would see the planet burning and humans unable to survive.
Let’s put it this way the earth right now is 14.74 degrees Celsius and if we added 40 to 14.74, this would give
Us 54.74 degrees Celsius.
This would make the earths average temperature 130.532 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mind you this is the average temperature and so highs and lows would vary by 60 to 80 degrees
That would make the highs 210 degrees Fahrenheit and lows at 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Not a planet you would want to live on when one considered the conditions of the climate.
The lack of plant and animal life and the oceans boiling away.
Even just 8 degrees of warming will likely destroy most life on the planet.

Here are the figures.
Animal husbandry when all is said and done only contributes 13% to ACC.
I actually thought it was far more as well until I looked into it.
It’s actually energy and transportation that lead to ACC anthropogenic Climate Change.

Could…might…maybe, none of these words indicate accuracy.
1.5° over how long a period? 20yrs? 100yrs? 5hrs?
How can such a complicated scientific process be explained accurately in a cartoon clip of less than 3min?
Global weather patterns and temps constanty change… lets talk about the pollution driving temps up… lets talk about nations most guilty of polluting our world… china and india. Lets address these 2 nations and what they can do to help protect the environment. Lets hit their polluting habits with hard core facts.
Sadly, these two nations are exempt from global warming accusations, I wondered why… until I noticed that socialism in the west is well supported by communism in the east. Could the finger pointing towards the west be a distraction from the pollution producers of the east? The west can and should do more I hear you say… what do you say about the east?

So, the climate has been stable for the last 10,000 years? No farming in Greenland in early medieval times? No little ice age when the Baltic Sea used to freeze over nearly every winter? Please, if you argue for the protection of the climate – do it properly.

Literally talking about this in my international relations class! It’s interesting how people put so much emphasis on saving the Earth but it’s the Earth and ourselves. This is super intertwined in every single aspect of our lives no matter who you are. So tired of talking about change, lets be the change, we need to seriously come together as a society and demand our leaders to take action! I really enjoy these little animations – a little simple but gets the message across well.
P.S. Let us thank Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) for making it 2% to 1.5% because yes it is that significant, this threshold is key to our survival.

The same people pushing this cash cow agenda all own mansions on the coast or an island, huge mansions they don’t seem worried about being under water. The climate has always changed over time. Did humans create all previous ice ages? If not which we didn’t, then we won’t be the reason for the next one. But keep on your knees as they use this to take away your freedoms while charging you for it. I just love that America is the biggest target of these paid shills, when it is not the biggest polluter. Obvious foreign interests.
