In the case of climate change, a clear consensus exists among mainstream researchers that human influences on climate are already detectable, and that potentially far more substantial changes are likely to take place in the future if we continue to burn fossil fuels at current rates.

Some links on planetary motion and climate — this stuff isn't big news; the effects are extremely small and change very slowly, compared to the rate of CO2 increase from fossil fuel use.

The most encouraging thing for me to come from this paper is not the variance in percieved GHG and related forcing levels that may or may not constitute Dangerous Anthropogenic Interference, but the acknowledgement of the rate of change in emissions due to fuel price increases and the exponential growth of public awareness.

Extrapolating from their forest study, the researchers estimate that over this century the warming induced from global soil loss, at the rate they monitored, will be «equivalent to the past two decades of carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning and is comparable in magnitude to the cumulative carbon losses to the atmosphere due to human - driven land use change during the past two centuries.»

Here's the chart of existing and projected shifts in the mix of fuels used to generate electricity — which is pretty reliable given the slow rate of change in large - scale technologies:

The post-2000 growth rate exceeds the most fossil - fuel - dependent A1F1 emissions scenario developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the late 1990s.

EV owners can save money on fueling costs without changing electricity plans, but taking advantage of rate plans that offer lower - cost electricity at night («time - of - use» plans) can mean hundreds of dollars in additional savings per year, especially in California.

Human activity — particularly the production of greenhouse gasses from fossil fuel emissions — is reshaping our planet, effecting rapid environmental change at a rate never seen before.

What's lost in a lot of the discussion about human - caused climate change is not that the sum of human activities is leading to some warming of the earth's temperature, but that the observed rate of warming (both at the earth's surface and throughout the lower atmosphere) is considerably less than has been anticipated by the collection of climate models upon whose projections climate alarm (i.e., justification for strict restrictions on the use of fossil fuels) is built.

A recent study for Friends of the Earth Europe by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research found that EU countries can afford just nine more years of burning gas and other fossil fuels at the current rate before they will have exhausted their share of the earth's remaining carbon budget for maximum temperature rises of 2 °C.

They report in the journal Climatic Change that, if humans continue to burn fossil fuels at an accelerating rate, and as average global temperatures creep up by the predicted 4 °C above historic levels, then on the hottest days, between 10 % and 30 % of fully - loaded planes may have to remove fuel, cargo or passengers before they can take off: either that, or flights will have to be delayed to the cooler hours.

Human influenced climate change is upon us, fossil fuels are becoming scarce, rare metal and minerals are becoming scarce, species of plants and animals are disappearing at an alarming rate.

These are — and dramatic changes in the rate of growth of human population (the «generators» of the human emissions)-- an upper limit to the amount of carbon contained in all the fossil fuels remaining on our planet

It ignores two real physical constraints on human CO2 emissions (plus resulting warming) in the future: — changes in human population growth rates — total carbon contained in remaining fossil fuel reserves

The default inputs for population growth rate, GDP per capita growth rate, emissions intensity per capita, fossil fuel reserves, etc. are variables in the model and people who are competent at driving these models can change them.

While the above analysis yields good results for by tying past climate change to increases in human CO2 emissions, it should be cautioned that the suggested exponential time relation is not suitable for projecting the future over longer time periods, because of possible changes in human population growth rates and absolute limitations on carbon available in remaining fossil fuels.

If we keep burning fossil fuels at our current rates, food may become harder and harder to grow in many places — as even slight changes in long - established precipitation and temperature patterns can wreak havoc on certain fruits and vegetables — and what does grow could be less and less nutritious.

In part that affects both the d14C decay rate from the bomb impulse and the d13C sink rate from fossil fuel use (mainly caused by the THC sink / source, where the source still contains deep ocean waters, not affected by any change in the atmosphere).

Unfortunately, CO2 also moves from the oceans and biosphere (and sequestered fossil fuels, due to our actions) into the atmosphere, which means you are talking about measuring a single interchange rate between various climate compartments, not total concentration changes in any one compartment.

As a result of the build - up of heat - trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere — due to our burning of fossil fuels, cutting down trees and other activities — global average temperature is now changing at a faster rate than at least over the past 1,000 years.

I am imagining a future agreement that is more successful in reducing the rate of fossil - fuel consumption than the present Kyoto Agreement, but that does not change the total remaining production.

In scientific literature a few comparisons between the SRES projections and reality exist, like a 2007 PNAS study, which stated «The emissions growth rate since 2000 was greater than for the most fossil - fuel intensive of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emissions scenarios developed in the late 1990s.»

But the findings, in recent studies led by Princeton and Cornell universities, represent an identifiable future cost of climate change under the business - as - usual scenario, in which fossil fuel combustion continues to increase at present rates.

Climate change is happening, being driven by the human combustion of fossil fuels at unprecedented rates for more than a century.

This development is absolutely crucial, since burning fossil fuels at the rate we are burning them is rapidly changing the climate in ways that seriously harm our quality of life.

The «Banking on Climate Change» report finds that 2016 actually saw a steep fall in bank funding for extreme fossil fuels — however despite this overall reduction, banks are still funding extreme fossil fuel projects at a rate that will push us beyond the 1.5 degrees climate change limit determined by the Paris Climate AgreChange» report finds that 2016 actually saw a steep fall in bank funding for extreme fossil fuels — however despite this overall reduction, banks are still funding extreme fossil fuel projects at a rate that will push us beyond the 1.5 degrees climate change limit determined by the Paris Climate Agrechange limit determined by the Paris Climate Agreement.

«Climate science» as it is used by warmists implies adherence to a set of beliefs: (1) Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere; (2) Human production of CO2 is producing significant increases in CO2 concentration; (3) The rate of rise of temperature in the 20th and 21st centuries is unprecedented compared to the rates of change of temperature in the previous two millennia and this can only be due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations; (4) The climate of the 19th century was ideal and may be taken as a standard to compare against any current climate; (5) global climate models, while still not perfect, are good enough to indicate that continued use of fossil fuels at projected rates in the 21st century will cause the CO2 concentration to rise to a high level by 2100 (possibly 700 to 900 ppm); (6) The global average temperature under this condition will rise more than 3 °C from the late 19th century ideal; (7) The negative impact on humanity of such a rise will be enormous; (8) The only alternative to such a disaster is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions (reducing emissions in 2050 by 80 % compared to today's rate) and continue further reductions after 2050; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 resulting in significant damage to humanity; (10) Such reductions in CO2 emissions are technically feasible and economically affordable while providing adequate energy to a growing world population that is increasingly industrializing.
