Which means even if we stop all GHG in 10 years, we still have 40 - 60 years of
temp increases before they level off.
Not exact matches
With ocean
temps increasing, it is only a matter of time
before we will be able to water - ski down the mountain of water that will form above the Mariana Trench.
For instance, I'd like to know if the range and standard deviation of global
temps is also
increasing (I've asked this
before).
But we didn't get any more
temp increase in the box than the day
before.
With ocean
temps increasing, it is only a matter of time
before we will be able to water - ski down the mountain of water that will form above the Mariana Trench.
Or even our illustrious host, who testifies
before Congress that because there has been a short - term flattening out of a longer term trend of rising
increase in
temps, therefore there is a «hiatus» in «global warming?»
The studies I have seen show they found CO2 rises that came after
temp increases, came
before temp increases or no lag at all.
RE: 4th Error -RCB- Poses an objection to the non-scientific term catastrophic [NOTE: Scientific «consensus» is often being used & / or implied in standard climate - change discourse - Yet Consensus is a Political Term - NOT a Scientific Term]- HOWEVER - When Jim Hansen, the IPCC & Al Gore, et - al - go from predicting 450 — 500 ppm CO2 to 800 — 1000ppm by the end of the 21st century -LCB- said to the be highest atmospheric CO2 content in 20 — 30 Million YRS -RCB-; — & estimates for aver global
temps by 21st century's end go from 2 * C to 6 * C to 10 * C; — &
increased sea level estimates go from 10 - 20 cm to 50 - 60 cm to 1M — 2M -LCB- which would totally submerge the Maldives & partially so Bangladesh -RCB-; — predictions of the total melting of the Himalayan Ice caps by 2050, near total melting of Greenland's ice sheet & partial melting of Antarctica's ice sheet
before the 21st century's end; — massive crop failures; — more intense & frequent hurricane -LCB- ala Katrina -RCB- for much longer seasonal durations, etc, etc, etc... — IMO That's Sounds pretty damned CATASTROPHIC to ME!
A one on hundred event will occur 1 % of the time
before and after a 1C
temp increase.
