Climate Veeky Forumsentist here. Some good state of science update on the methane time bomb hypothesis from a good friend and colleagues of mine.
advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/1/eaao4842

A study of radiocarbon CH4 emission from Prudhoe Bay Alaska suggest that there are some ancient (radiocarbon depleted) CH4 coming off from the seafloor hydrates and melting permafrost. However, even at very shallow, 10m water column depth all of those CH4 got eaten by bacteria and none of it made it to the atmosphere.

This study is a repeat of the earlier study from the Deepwater horizon oil spill. What this suggest is that the Methane time bomb panic hysteria that many overzealous pro environmental outlet (for example Alternet, or even some NYT articles) are probably invalid. The Arctic permafrost maybe melting, but the CH4 ain't gonna reach the atmosphere anytime soon

So no super-death within a decade.
In 20y tho, global food production will get a hit due to droughts and temperature tolerance range exceeded for many types of crops.
youtu.be/Mc_4Z1oiXhY?t=23m10s
By 2100, current trends holding, sea rise will start to be a major problem.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the permafrost thawing and the bacterial emissions of CH4 as a result.

>I'm surprised you didn't mention the permafrost thawing and the bacterial emissions of CH4 as a result.
People are concerned about old C locked in permafrost entering the modern atmosphere-ocean-vegetation pool, and knocking the whole budget out of whack. If a permafrost degrades, but the resulting CH4 from bacteria is close to modern (which is the result of the study), that means that it was just recycled dead carbon from years ago that were already in the atmosphere-ocean-vegetation pool and it is not that big of a deal because net addition to that total pool is zero (the carbon just got recycled from atmosphere -> plants -> plant dies -> eaten and emitted by bacteria).

I am but a humble paleofag but I'm kinda worried about what's gonna happen as ocean pH drops. studies have been suggesting that calcareous plankton will start undergoing metabolic stress as calcite precipitation becomes less energetically favorable.

the big difference between the current climate change and every paleo-analogue in the geologic record that can be tested is that the current carbon injection is happening an order of magnitude faster than the timescale on which ocean overturning takes place.

On long timescales, ocean pH is effectively decoupled from CO2 concentration because of limestone buffering reactions on the ocean floor. Since the carbon injection right now is occurring much faster, there is a possibility of a completely unprecedented pH-drop in the upper ocean.

Climate physics here.

The basic principles of how global warming works are easy. However, I'm sceptical of the use of climate models. They're too big and require all sorts of fudging (e.g. inserting water to compensate that which has leaked out due to numerical errors), and they're being used for studies for which they're not intended to.

I understand this doesn't add much to the current discussion, but alright.

I'm especially worried about land use change, biodiversity and the oceans. Pollution by all sorts of nasty chemicals and plastics, acidification, overfishing.

>climate change
not science or math

What is your problem? Any climate model worth of damn would not use any numerical method with diffusion/leaks. Most of them do Crank-Nicholson implicit method that is really accurate.

With regards to water vapor, it is really easy to calculate water vapor for any given initial condition, P and T based on Claucius Clayperon Eq. There is no reason to keep track of water vapor concentration at every grid and waste numerical overhead.

>limestone buffering reactions on the ocean floor
nibba do you know what the carbonate compensation depth is?

>Climatology isn't science because its conclusions disagree with my feelings.

ccd baby! solvation > precipitation

The benefits of global warming are immense.Longer crop season, better pastures for cattle, less cold related deaths, longer building period, chance to build modern cities as the seacoast is expanding, less use of energy to warm cities during winters, less problems with transport(no snow covering roads)

Global warming is amazing gift to humanity

Increased CO2 results in less nutritious food as food become much higher in carbs therefore much less nutrients

>.Longer crop season, better pastures for cattle,
nope, droughts will fuck up those

>>Climatology isn't science because its conclusions disagree with my feelings.
Who are you quoting?

the little voice in the back of your head

Imagine being this far in denial.

What is the opinion of some of you about this: dx.doi.org/10.1038/nclimate2941 ?

It seems to claim that rain will increase in desert areas but water storage rates will not change in a significant way.

>What is the opinion of some of you about this:
In my opinion, their subscription/access prices are way too fckn high merely to view hosted files.

I am intrigued that the lines are so smooth. It is not as if someone smoothed these artificially just to prove a point, right? Right?

What about all the satellite photos that supposedly show Earth getting greener?

>It seems to claim that rain will increase in desert areas but water storage rates will not change in a significant way.
What? Are desert dwellers incapable of basic civil engineering??

in the subtropics (lat 23.5 - 40) rain will fail 50-75% when AGW reaches 450ppm/+2C
That's where the world's breadbaskets are.

>That's where the world's breadbaskets are.
The more relevant question is where the world's breadbasket will be given 2 degrees warming.

And do you have an answer to the question in ?

>climate change skeptic shills btfo

So, do you guys have a solution to fix this "Climate Change" problem that ISN'T "Give all of your money to the banks" or "De-Industrialize the west"?

>So, do you guys have a solution to fix this "Climate Change" problem that ISN'T "Give all of your money to the banks" or "De-Industrialize the west"?
Suppose we didn't. Would that make the problem less serious?

No, but people often don't build things in advance.

Once rainfall seems consistent, the Chinese civil engineering firm,s will be out in force once again in Africa and other desert places. And they will take care of water storage in no time.

Ah, the old claim that climate change will improve crop yields due to the undisputed fact of CO2 being food for plants. However that's only taking into account the first fact and not the other factors caused by an increase in CO2. Read these published scientific papers.

Plenty, what people are advocating for are the adoptions of new technologies, something we have both the technology and resources for, the only thing lacking being political will.

>So, do you guys have a solution to fix this "Climate Change" problem that ISN'T "Give all of your money to the banks" or "De-Industrialize the west"?
And that's a plain straw-man argument.

>Ah, the old claim that climate change will improve crop yields due to the undisputed fact of CO2 being food for plants.
Ah, the old case of lack of reading comprehension where factual measurements with satellites are conflated with projections. A bit like those that have predicted the loss of the Arctic ice cap.

So please try again.

no but then all the normies would willingly rip our society as it exists rn so they can keep wearing uggs and drinking pumpkin spice lates

Which will cost less if work starts on it immediately? The reduction of carbon emissions to try to mitigate the effects of climate change. Or the preparation of a contingency to survive the harsh conditions climate change will bring, while not attempting to ramp down industrial output? Should we therefore increase industrial output regardless of what it does to the climate?

>Would that make the problem less serious?
It would make it worse.

Rather than de-industrialising there would be a genocide. Just cutting off the supply of synthetic fertilisers (made by oil and gas) you will kill more people then Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot put together. We are talking about a return to the era prior to the green revolution of 3 billions. Allowing a 50 percent benefit from knowledge and tools it means 2 - 3 billions killed by starvation. And then a return to a sustainable world. And that is pretty ugly.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
EMOJIS PROVE HIM RIGHT HAHAHA I LOVE SCIENCE

Political ideology masquerading as science.

>in the subtropics (lat 23.5 - 40) rain will fail 50-75% when AGW reaches 450ppm/+2C
>That's where the world's breadbaskets are.

Remember kids, we can't predict the weather for more than a week, because its a chaotic system. But we can predict the average of weather (cliamte) for decades even though chaotic systems are not ergodic! Now pay your carbon taxes.

And when the data doesn't fit the theory, like in 1945 - 1975 when there was global cooling despite a significant increase in greenhouse gases? We simply rewrite the past.

>It seems to claim that rain will increase in desert areas but water storage rates will not change in a significant way.
Seems reasonable; the ground becomes saturated with water, and it evaporates before the water can percolate through the soil. Also, with plants that are adapted to low water, they will not absorb enough to make a difference. (Pic related).

Also this.

you can take off your tin foil hat now
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothing

>and it evaporates before the water can percolate through the soil
In that case the rainfall cannot be heavy.

Ohhhhh. So you mean those are not actual graphs? Why manipulate like that when there is no need?

Climate isn't a (completely) chaotic system - it responds fairly predictably to forcings over the long-term. That's why I get upset with people describing climate as the average of weather - it's a massive misunderstanding of where climate states come from.

>And when the data doesn't fit the theory ... We simply rewrite the past.
How DARE scientists correct known issues in datasets! By god, if one thermometer tells you it's -80C outside you better believe it, no matter what every other instrument says!
Your conspiracy theories are baseless and stupid.

>Ohhhhh. So you mean those are not actual graphs?
What the fuck?

>Why manipulate like that when there is no need?
Because there is a need: We're interested in multi-year trends, not short-term noise.

>when there is no need
you can take off your tin foil hat now

If meteorology was in anyway analogous to climate science you might have a point, but since it isnt you dont and you reveal that you dont even know what the climate is or what climate science entails.

>all of those CH4 got eaten by bacteria
Could this result in any significant increase in said bacteria and what effect might that have on ocean ecosystems?

>In that case the rainfall cannot be heavy
If the soil is saturated with water it is a somewhat heavy rain, and if you are in the desert and have a blazing hot sun overhead after a precipitation event, some of the water that is in puddles will evaporate before it can infiltrate the ground. That is intro level science. I'm not sure what you're trying to say or prove.

workin' on it, but it'll be 5 years or more before I'm in a position to do anything useful - I'm still studying atm.

This

More local manufacturing and making goods to last like they used to will go along way.

If there really is more rain I would expect there will be more clouds too thus more opportunities for water to sink in.

>More baseless rants consisting of claims of conspiratorial persecution.
In both Lysenkoism and Deutsche Physik, governments went against evidence gathered by experts in their fields because they did not fit ideological notions, rather than the scientific community endeavoring to censor certain theories. So your comparisons work but not in the way you think they do.

Geology bro here. That's good to hear. I never thought methane was much a problem anyway because of its residence time in the atmosphere but was worried about short term fluctuations.

Actually it turns out that CO2 is not the most responsible greenhouse gas, it it still important

Water vapor the most important greenhouse gas, pic very related.

Even the KNMI says it:
knmi.nl/kennis-en-datacentrum/uitleg/broeikasgas-waterdamp/
ncdc.noaa.gov/monitoring-references/faq/greenhouse-gases.php?section=watervapor
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas
acs.org/content/acs/en/climatescience/climatesciencenarratives/its-water-vapor-not-the-co2.html

When you burn an organic compound, let's say petroleum and let's say most of it contains alkanes, which creates more water when you burn it.

china lmao

We have an actual climate scientist or two in the thread but you'll have to put up with me at the moment, I'm a geologist but the atmosphere is part of the Earth system and I may be able to help.If I make any mistakes I hope one of the climatologists can correct it.

Water vapor accounts for about 85% of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere but while that is significant it's less important for 2 reasons (ok, it's not less important but you'll understand if you keep reading).

1. Water vapor is a positive feedback. The amount of water vapor is less about controlling the temperature of Earth's atmosphere than the atmosphere's temperature is about controlling the amount of water vapor. The hotter the atmosphere is the more water vapor it can hold. The more water vapor it can hold the hotter it gets. The hotter it gets the more water vapor it can hold. And so on and so forth until everything boils away.

The opposite is true. The cooler it gets the less water apor it can hold. The less water vapor it can hold the cooler it gets. The cooler it gets the less water vapor it can hold. And so on and so forth until everything is frozen.

If water vapor alone regulated the atmosphere there would be no more water vapor all of it would have boiled away or frozen a long long long time ago.

2. The residence time of water vapor is very low. Residence time is how long something stays in a condition or location. In this case water vapor spends about 7-10 days in the atmosphere before it either rains out or deposits out as ice and becomes our rivers lakes streams snow or glaciers. This is why the above conditions of boiling away or freezing our planet never happens. Water cannot be a driver of climate in this or any other reality.

So TLDR water vapor is more controlled by the temperature of the atmosphere than the atmosphere is controlled by water vapor.

Carbon dioxide has a residence time of CENTURIES. Once it gets into the atmosphere it's staying there.

>Water vapor the most important greenhouse gas
water in the atmosphere is in near-equilibrium with the oceans, you brainlet. putting more water vapor into the atmosphere has only a brief effect, as it is counterbalanced by an increase in precipitation in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle.
There is no such large reservoir of CO2 for the atmosphere to communicate with. When we put more CO2 into the atmosphere, it quickly overwhelms the ability of natural sinks to remove it.

also what said.

Its still a desert retard; there is a limited amount of space in between the particles of soil/sand. Also, when I say "heavy rainfall" its relative and short lived, so the next day a sun is still blazing over puddles of water waiting to infiltrate into the earth; a little more might make it in, but not enough to change the fact that it is still a desert. I don't understand how so called "skeptics" think they know more than people with higher degrees in the subject. Do you also question your doctor when he tells you that you have cancer of the anus?

wtf

So how come when there's ever a scientist who has valid disputes with the consensus he is shunned and silenced? Herd mentality? Group think?

This random guy on the internet seems to be the only one out there who wants to give these scientists a platform.

>Herd mentality? Group think?
More likely because they're bought-and-paid-for shills representing the oil industry

>So how come when there's ever a scientist who has valid disputes with the consensus he is shunned and silenced?
They're not.

>More likely because they're bought-and-paid-for shills representing the oil industry
ah there it is, the ad hominem, Veeky Forums's ace in the hole

>More likely because they're bought-and-paid-for shills representing the oil industry
then why do both of the scientists in the videos i posted vehemently deny being affiliated with the oil industry?

the second guy is one of the founders of Green Peace for crying out loud

1. CO2 and many other gases have "greenhouse" properties in that they allow visible light to pass through (hence invisible), but trap and re-emit infrared radiation. This is literally 19th century science, first proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824, verified and quantified experimentally beyond reasonable doubt by Svante Arrhenius.
2. CO2 in the atmosphere has been rising, and this is a result of fossil fuel combustion (pic related). CO2 can be measured experimentally in the lab, and the stable isotopes of CO2 plunges into the negative values. Fossil fuel has distinct negative isotopic signature compared to natural CO2. This is also an undeniable fact from observation.
3. You add 1+2, you would expect the radiative energy budget of the earth to be out of equilibrium. This is exactly what we observe, based on satellites that measures total energy in vs. energy out by CERES satellite at NASA.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/EnergyBalance/page6.phpOn average, only 71% of energy entering the Earth is leaving. 2nd law of thermodynamics and conservation of energy states that when a system had energy imbalance, T must go up.
In short, CO2 causes greenhouse effect. Humans put CO2 into the atmosphere through fossil fuel burning. The earth is now in energy imbalance due to additional CO2, and therefore warming. All basic, high school physics that should be easy to understand

...

Right now the questions of climate change are so small that anyone who disputes it is fringe because the science doesn't support their position. In science it's not about who says something but what's being said. I can find a scientist for you that believes Atlantis is Hawaii and I'm not even joking. Individual scientists opinions count for very little when not supported by evidence.

Right now there's really only 2 questions I'm aware of left in climate science but again I'm a geologist and not a climatologist.

Those two are the effects of solar rays on high altitude clouds and the effect of cosmic radiation on Earth's long term energy budget. The first effect seems to have a net cooling effect, the planes grounded on 9/11 give us a clue because planes create a type of high altitude clouds from their contrails. As solar rays make more high altitude clouds when interacting with Earth's upper atmosphere it creates more of those clouds. Because more solar rays come from a hotter sun the net cooling effect would be a negative feedback but we haven't studied the phenomenon long enough to know what role they play for certain. The second effect is over time scales so huge that we still don't have a very good understanding of it but it has nothing to do with modern warming, we're talking hundreds of millions of years time scales as Earth moves in and out of the spiral arms of the galaxy.

Climate change caused by increased CO2 is just basic physics and chemistry. It's so basic we've known about it since the late 1800s. So people that dispute CO2's role are being dishonest with the data and what we do or don't know about the Earth's system.

>Its still a desert retard;
Just another thoughtless statement. Understand this: if it rains so much we are promised it simply stops being a desert. Or do you believe in wet deserts?? Coming in late with "short lived" train is not convincing, where did you pull that rabbit out from?

>I don't understand how so called "skeptics" think they know more than people with higher degrees in the subject.
So speaks the priesthood, not a scientist.
>Do you also question your doctor when he tells you that you have cancer of the anus?
Irrelevant and desperate argumentation. Is this really the style of argument of the warmers? No surprise there are many sceptics.

>The people I disagree with are part of a vast conspiracy.
Uh-huh

Your point? Is this supposed to be some sort of "gotcha"? I dont understand the issue you have.

Isnt that pretty much the basis of climate deniel and skepticism? All the scientist who say its true are just part of a conspiracy is what i am told constantly by those people.

Which is more likely? That the vast majority of scientists are part of the conspiracy, or that a tiny minority are part of it?

The only reason why I'm skeptical of mankind being the majority of the reason for climate change is the fact that most climate scientists receive their data from the NOAA, whose servers manipulate data with currently walled-garden algorithms. If they were to release the algorithms used, I'd probably be a believer.
Also, >muh cow farts

I think it is fucked up how people are playing with fire. This isn't a joke, there's a real possiblity that climate change will go full Sodom and Gommorah on us. Good luck when the water runs out or you're experiencing heat death. Why not act now that we got a chance? I'm especially looking at you America.

Americans give 0 fucks about anything other than living their american dream, regardless of any consequences.

Brainlet here
Is it morally wrong to use the methane hydrate to scare people into researching climate change? I am unconvinced methane will be an issue but it doesn't matter anyway because the slight change in extremes will be enough to cause chaos.But people won't listen to that so is it fair to go with the methane?

no issue, just proof that this knowledge has been around for more than a century

>Do you also question your doctor when he tells you that you have cancer of the anus?
>Irrelevant and desperate argumentation. Is this really the style of argument of the warmers?
I'm not trying to argue at this point. And your argumentation method of posting a paywall article, making a vague statement about it, and trying to catch anyone who responds in a lame gotcha is so superior?

Climate change worry is for brainlets.

Climate Change is pretty hilarious on it's face.

1. The "scientists" claim they can predict the future using a singular function of carbon dioxide heating the atmosphere.

- Reality is that the earth in 2080+ will have more functions acting on it than carbon dioxide changes.

2. Geo-engineering. If we are talking about the future earth you have to also iterate through other geo-engineering techniques. Carbon Capture, high altitude geongineering, arcology technology, etc.

At this point anyone above ape intelligenc (rare for this thread) stops worrying about climate change as we have extremely cheap solutions available for the worst cases.

If you are still worried though you can just not be a fucking moronic brainlet and look at carbon PPM throughout history and see the plain as fucking day fact we are at pretty much all time lows.

Now. If you want to go further, which is pointless because anyone of reasonable intelligence is already satisfied, you can look at other technology changes over time and realize the fucking goddamn singularity god-like being is more probable to exist than an existential world crisis of the sea level rising a little bit.

>cheap carbon capture

citation

Explanation

1. Carbon PPM has been incredibly higher than today's with no runaway effect that destroyed life on earth.
2, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_injection_(climate_engineering) or see effects of volcanos on world temp for a practical example of cooling

It's about 10000000x more likely that we have ARBITRARY control over earth's temperature by 2050 than that we will care about global warming.

It's almost parallel to the insane theories of "living space" running out and mass starvation imminent that motivated nazi germany elites and imperial japan elites to become war-hungry.

Every fucking decade retarded low IQ "scientists" get completely narrow vision on some random function and say the world will end and society is fucked. Then 20 years later after much disaster due to their policies they switch to some other imaginary crisis.

There are many potential ways we will have cheap carbon capture by that time. It's theoretically very possible giving available arable land to genetically engineer a carbon sink plant that can easily counteract and control ppm levels.

global warming is literally so inconsequential morons blame every possible hurricane on global warming just to point out some shit.

>Oh god there is variance in weather and disaster

Yes, the statistical likelihood of hurricanes is so insane now. Good thing they never occurred before.

lets just do the math

1. World ends
2. We do the thing with minimal side effects that cools the atmosphere

I guess we should opt for worldwide destabilization and ask countries to commit economic suicide.

Problem is the fanatics of climate change
- think counter-acting geoengineering is heresy
- think alternative things that reduce carbon ppm, ex land fills, nuclear, etc are worse
- are mostly into it to scream the end is near rather than pragmatic thought

Anyway climate change people are just dumb smelly hippies at this point screaming science while vastly over-estimating a simple function's ability to predict what earth will look like in 2080 given the absurd likelihood of changing technology

you watch too much disney fairy tales
come back when you have something real to say

If you are someone living in 1900
The fairy tail science fiction writer got 2000 more right than the brainlets like you

We are talking about problems 2100+ humanity will face you dumb fuckhead. Motherfucking carbon ppm is NOT one of them.

Yes, maybe humanity hits a roadblock. IN that case the higher carbon PPM is probably helpful for the random biological life that survived the nuclear war.

>problems 2100+
oh bullshit, the tipping point will be 450ppm, at the current rate we'll be there at 2030
