Man Made Climate Change in 7 Minutes

The first installment of ThinkAboutIt`s series on Climate Change. This video is the pre-cursor, the basics and introduction to the series. Further videos will explain the mechanisms of current climate change, myths and misinformation regarding current climate change, and potential effects of climate change in the future.

I don't get that graph. What the hell happened to the CO2-temperature lag that the ice core data shows? CO2 and temperature are all over the place in that graph, yet they correlate almost perfectly in the ice core data. Does the lag only apply for the last 400,000 years or something? What gives?

[ThinkAbout1t]

@DeadlyV1RU5 Yes. The correlation only really applies to the period of balance, however the other important point to note is that the correlation overlays of the 400,000 year ice core graph are not at the same scale. They've superimposed the graphs over each other in the 400,000 year ice core graph, but they haven't really superimposed them in the 500mya graph.

@DeadlyV1RU5 Another way to think of it: imagine looking at a graph of the height of a bicycle with a badly damaged tire. If you did a graph of it going 100 feet, you'd see the little pattern of up and down with each tire rotation. If you put a graph of 100 miles on your screen, you'd just see the hills. So CO2 & temperature likely did have that pattern of CO2-temperature lag, but it isnt visible in the graph, (and I'm not sure if we have evidence on the right scale going back that far.)

[ThinkAbout1t]

@spaceshare That is a very good analogy. I'm gonna use that from now on. Cheers :)

This is a pretty good video. But looks can be deceiving.... We once had CO2 at far higher concentrations during an ice earth 300 ma. The feedback loop didn't turn us into Venus. It's not a simple feedback loop.

[ThinkAbout1t]

@realscience1 Do watch the video, I go over the ice age 460 mya, and the entire graph is somewhat irrelevant, but more of a talking point to say that people can now be informed on the basis of the CO2 temp history, but what's more important is to look at the current trends, not the past.

[ThinkAbout1t]

@Stonegoal Not quite... the information regarding the 500 MYA graph is meant to show that CO2 is not the sole determining factor in climate, and the argument that "CO2 was higher in the past" is fallacious. The many problems with global warming, whether it be man-made or not (though evidence strongly suggests it is), is ocean acidification, the destruction of pine forests in Canada (due to Pine Beetle pop. explosion), and other similar relationships, and too many other factors to mention here.

Awesome video! Awesome job! Thank you for the free education!

This stuff is NOT instantly easy, anymore than a person can pick up a musical instrument for the first time ever and play beautifully just because professional musicians make it look easy. (Mozart had to practice, too.)

[shandcunt]

Great Video bro, really informative

[Texmurphy51]

This graph is bogus. CO2 did not fall in a smooth curve as shown. It fluctuated wildly from 4000ppm to 7000ppm then up & down in steps to its low 300M yrs ago.

This however avoids the point made in the beginning. CO2 traps heat. NO matter how it got there levels were 14 times higher than now. So why no runaway global warming? The sun was only 5% (maybe) less than now. Dispite CO2 warming, water vapor is the gas that controls our climate.

The temp has been warming since the last ice age.

THANK YOU. I was looking for articles that do some hard scientific investigation into climate change, but ALL of them seem to have an agenda and have made up their mind. At the very least you kept it concentrated to the science rather than some arbitrary political view. You have no idea how much reading through bullsh*t you saved me.

[Ravalat]

Carbon dioxide makes up .0039% of our atmosphere.. our coal powerplants inject .000000001948% more per year... that accounts for HALF of human C02 pollution. The total amount is .000000003496% . the trees in the continental US ALONE absorb that much and turn it back into oxegen. Dont believe me? watch this- watch?v=A4sg8uwzOVE . I did the math you can do it too. Find the answers on your own. I did, and was surprised at the outcome.

@Tnekkc "lib hitler"? That's funny, I thought he was a fascist, which is on the right side of the political spectrum. You know, like bush started doing with the patriot act. A fascist authoritarian government is not the same as liberal, no matter how many times rush and Glenn tell you it is. You make yourself and ppl with your view look dumb when you confuse facts and history like that.

[tnekkc]

This is one of the BEST global warming hoaxer videos I have seen.

It starts out with reality, and then gets to the liberal spin.

But we didn't give the keys to that lib Hitler with his "Master race" song and dance, and we are not going to give them to that lib Obama with "The time for debate is over" song and dance.

Excellent stuff. Keep it up.
