Originally posted by aldra you can't answer the question of how we can know how much humans have affected the climate without knowing what the climate would've been without human interference? I understand.
While there's inherent uncertainty in their methods, the combination approaches they use provide a robust understanding of human impact on the climate. The consensus in the scientific community is that human activities have undoubtedly played a substantial role in driving climate change over the past century. -

Originally posted by aldra I don't really want to get into it on the 137th page, but just on anthropomorphic climate change in general - how old is the Earth vs. how far back can we accurately measure climate data, such as general temperatures, gas composition, sun intensity, cloud density etc.?
how can we possibly presume to know what baseline climate change would be with so little data, and if we don't know what the baseline is, how can we presume to know how much of a difference human activity has deviated from it?
I'm fully in favour of moving toward more efficient and less wasteful practices, but climate-related doomsday scenarios have come and gone just as often as religious ones. in the longer-term it's a problem, but we have more pressing problems in the short and medium term.
Oh, so you just generally disagree with the idea based on your assumptions and don't actually have anything specifically false you can point to? I understand. -

2023-09-06 at 12:02 PM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastWhat Do Climate Scientists Tell Their Kids about the Future?
Scientists have been trying to warn everyone about this problem for many, many years. If we really started trying to fix it 30 or 40 years ago, it would be easier to fix, and some of the bad stuff could be stopped. But we didn’t, and here’s one big reason why. Some businesses, such as those who make and sell the energy, would not make as much money if we stopped using their energy. So those businesses hired people who are really good at arguing and tried to confuse people—especially the ones who make decisions. They said things like “Global warming isn’t really happening,” “The scientists are lying” or “Maybe it’s happening but not because people are burning fossil fuels.” Unfortunately, those tricks have been working on many people.

2023-09-05 at 7:02 PM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastAmericans experience a false social reality by underestimating popular climate policy support by nearly half
Specifically, 80–90% of Americans underestimate the prevalence of support for major climate change mitigation policies and climate concern. While 66–80% Americans support these policies, Americans estimate the prevalence to only be between 37–43% on average. Thus, supporters of climate policies outnumber opponents two to one, while Americans falsely perceive nearly the opposite to be true.

At least five large U.S. property insurers — including Allstate, American Family, Nationwide, Erie Insurance Group and Berkshire Hathaway — have told regulators that extreme weather patterns caused by climate change have led them to stop writing coverages in some regions, exclude protections from various weather events and raise monthly premiums and deductibles.
