The people who claim that the CO2 increase is not anthropogenic have never outlined a consistent explanation of how that could happen in the face
a massive human emissions.
Not exact matches
With the
human population continuing to rise by 75 million or more per year and with torrid economic growth in much of the developing world, the burdens of deforestation, pollution, greenhouse gas
emissions, species extinction, ocean acidification and other
massive threats intensify.
Ian Plimer in another contrarian tome included some even more made up facts: «
massive volcanic eruptions (e.g. Pinatubo) emit the equivalent of a years»
human CO2
emissions in a few days» (p472) and «Volcanoes produce more CO2 then the world's cars and industries combined» (p413).
Whether or not
human emissions are about to cause a
massive switch in climate is more or less irrelevant in the big picture.
Sea level rise, ocean acidification and the rapid melting of
massive ice sheets are among the significantly increased effects of
human - induced global warming assessed in the survey, which also examines the
emissions of heat - trapping gases that are causing the climate change.
Of course, if the NYTimes or WAPO or CNN or CBS or the AP were ever to report the actual cooling trend over the last 15 years (despite the
massive amounts of
human CO2
emissions) this would establish that they have been grossly misleading the public for years about consensus «global warming.»
The
human cost is
massive: an estimated 400,000 people already die each year due to hunger and diseases related to climate change, especially in developing countries, and the number of deaths increase as our carbon
emissions increase.
Amazingly, all the warming spikes that matched or equaled ± 20 °C took place (see yellow - tinted boxes) prior to the last 40 years of
massive human CO2
emissions.
In spite of
massive human CO2
emissions, a recent state of cooling changes dominate in the U.S. (see last two blue columns).
Besides
emissions of greenhouse gases,
humans are constantly changing their environment which does have an impact (e.g. turning a corn field into an asphalt parking lot or
massive deforestation in the world's major tropical rainforests or laying down a carpet of black soot on ice sheets).
This warming precedes the
massive human - caused CO2
emissions (graph here).
Although one of the ES components mentioned above, the global economy, is about to inadvertently transform that face through
massive emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and the so - induced planetary warming, one other crucial component, the
human brain, struggles to advertently preserve it by constructing clumsy institutions like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/convkp/conveng.pdf).
