Time-lapse history of human global CO2 emissions

[1000frolly]

Since CO2 is not a main driver of climate, this small increase does not matter.

CO2 has been up to 2,000ppm and even 7,000ppm in the Earths past without noticably affecting the climate. Also, it is unlikely that we would be able to feed the Earths 7 billion+ people without the growing effects seen by the recent increase in CO2 concentration. Having a cheap source of energy has also brought us wealth and taken billions out of poverty. Releasing CO2 therefore, is wholly beneficial to our society.

@drgreenmwdf if you put a plant in a seal environment containing only co2 then it wpuld also die. Plants need oxygen to respirate. Without oxygen, they cannot do that. The also do not create enough oxygen on their own by photosynthesis to provide all of their needs. Coal contains trace amounts of mercury. When burned in huge quantities this is released into the air...

It is pure arrogance to ignore the data and proven facts that humans are causing current global warming

but to instead pontificate that "it's arrogant to think humans can change the climate" because that's the easy thing for deniers to do: ignore the problem and not change their lifestyles.

They are mentally incapable of realizing how thin the atmosphere is.

We are NOT heating up the entire planet: just the atmosphere and oceans.

[JackRussellTerrier2]

So Los Angeles County California was already emitting CO2s into he atmosphere back in the 1830's, before or greater than even NYC???

[Kaltwasser45]

In the areas of high co2 concentrations , there will be extensive plant growth? High co2 levels aren't destructive, they're quit the opposite. I have personally used co2 burners to encourage robust plant growth. These insane therioes get more entertaining by the day. The cows are doing double duty with their manure and with their gasses. When the dinasaurs romed, the co2 levels were as much as 10x's higher with vigorous plant life. There are sinister motives at work here.

[manshadow88]

Yes blame the cows because they are breeding chaotically around the earth, well no not really, they don't know they are doing it, humans are breeding cows more and more these days.

[mphello]

@manshadow88

Great comment!

Conservative stupidity is colossal. They actually think billions of cows breed on their own and then commit suicide to make hamburgers.

[forkjuice]

First of all Co2 is not the problem, but if it was, humans don't create the most Co2 on the planet, cows do. Want to blame "global warming" on a fake cause, then blame the cows, not humans. Btw, "global warming" is just the earth regulating itself. It acts like a heater or air conditioner. Once it gets to a certain temperature it turns off to cool down or warm up. That's exactly what is happening now.

SAVE THE PLANET!!!!

[TheTetheredNoob]

yep, the british.

[JuanVoyce]

so the data's from ORNL...what's that?

[lynchi33]

i blame the british

[alltvisanimated]

The global warming problem is a well thought out "CREATION". Co2 was "SELECTED" to be the culprate behind global warming because of it's invisible and ellusive characteristics. The detection Co2 is beyond your natural human capabilities therefore making individual accountability impossible. This newley created global warming religion will be used by the corporate overlords to manipulate and condemn the common people by regulating their everyday human activities.DisasterCapitalism

[fern4ndo0]

Earth can handle it.

[celloismyforte]

@fern4ndo0 Earth can, humans and other life can not.

[nwoebcke]

It's arrogant to think that with the 5th largest extinction of life on this planet due to man's impact on the environment, that we could not have an equal or even more devastating effect on the atmosphere. It's just plain arrogance and hubris that humans should be able to do whatever they want to the environment and the animal kingdom, while ignoring the fact that humans ARE part of the environment and the animal kingdom. Ignorant denial of evolution will destroy this planet.

[FCPWHAT]

'Climate Change from CO2 and human emission' = Another form of taxation. There have been IceAges covering most of Europe, the last over 13,000 years ago.. The fact that the Antarctic is actually increasing in size; That the Black Sea was actually formed in less than 40 years due to the sudden melting of the northern ice caps releasing over 1.3Trillion tns of water in that short period; The fact that many desert regions that existed many thousands of years ago are now Rain forest! Climate Change

[JackRussellTerrier2]

Additionally, in 1802 activity can be seen in what would appear to be northern France... but far more so across what would appear to be Belgium.

[thefloris007]

It's arrogant to think that we humans can affect the climate in such a dramatic way

I totally agree we should use renewable or nucleair energy beacuse this oil-economy is tottaly bullshit. But it is the thing where the most money is, so it will change really slow. Remember Oil and weapons are the most profittable economies. I don's know about your countries, but in mine my ritirementmoney is invested in oil and weapons. Holland.

Please beware of CO2 taxes.

[JonThm]

CO2 levels in the air are fixed by green plants

[JackRussellTerrier2]

So in the many decades leading up to 1810 it was all coming from Britain? I guess that makes some sense considering that steam engine railways were limited to that area for a long time.

[drgreenmwdf]

And one Big volcanic eruption laughs at all global warmers. Using mercury filled bulbs much hazardous to the environment than co2 if you don't believe me try giving a plant co2 and try giving another one mercury and tell me which one grows healthier?

[calvinlotz]

I actually like the soundtrack. :)

[jnussbau]

neat video. horrible soundtrack. you can find stock music on the internet, or maybe try creative commons if ur concerned about copyright.

[attykon]

thats total bs

[19931512]

This is worthless why yo ask? becaouse its take about 6 billion years for the c02 emissions to actualy impact earth in a negative way ....by that time scientist predict that the sun is goin to die out and turn into a black hole witch is most likely going to suck evrything around it into its self..but dont worry by that time i'm sure humans will live on some other planet so dont waste your money on "Green" products and light bulbs that have mercury in them...its a waste of time and money!

[tangles01]

@19931512 LOL

Our sun has about 0.0000000000000000000001% chance of turning into a black hole. It just plain lacks the mass. Just like any arguement that made made CO2 is not affecting the earths climate. That is undenyable, how we fix it another issue.

[19931512]

@tangles01 I Dissagree & I agree with some of your statement the truth is this matter is way more complicated than I taught........Its Not Just a Climate Problem It is also a Political One Distinguishing the truth from the lie's in our days is quite Hard Because Almost every news cooporation gets their stats from eather 2 major sources and or scientist that make fake simulations in order to get exposure.............Sad really

[aerobique]

cool
