U.S. Report Says Humans Cause Climate Change

[NightTrain]

C02 is the pollution that impacts climate change the most.

Ummm... no, Petey.

Want to take another stab at it?

"The magnitude of climate change...

You mean GLOBAL WARMING.

Why did you leftists have to change the name?

[pete311]

You mean GLOBAL WARMING.

Why did you leftists have to change the name?

First, this report is from trump admin scientists. Second, no, climate change is effected by global warming. They are not the same thing.

Well wait a minute now... didn't you just get done telling Gunny NOT to mix politics with global warming?

Second, no, climate change is effected by global warming. They are not the same thing.

I don't know who you think you're fooling, but certainly not me. It's nothing more than your leftist name change game.

GLOBAL WARMING = CLIMATE CHANGE
CLIMATE CHANGE = GLOBAL WARMING

You held your focus groups and dreamt up a new name for GLOBAL WARMING because that name wasn't getting you all anywhere, so you needed to call it something else that wasn't as descriptive, and didn't immediately expose you people for who you are, so botta bing, botta boom, GLOBAL WARMING is now CLIMATE CHANGE, and we all know the climate does change, so who can argue with that... GENIUS.

Sorry... no... you people aren't fooling anyone other than those of you who were buying this snake oil garbage in the first place.

It's not hard. Global warming causes climate change.

Sorry... but no, don't want to play your games.

Climate change is your new name for global warming, and if it wasn't, you'd all still be calling it global warming. You changed the name for a reason. The same reason you call illegal aliens, undocumented immigrants, and homos, gay, etc. It's what you people do.

But maybe you could explain why the Antarctica ice sheet hasn't declined in the last 100 years, and is in fact growing.

I don't know how many times I have to spank you on your Global Warming nonsense, but whatever.



CO2, by definition, has a GWP of 1 regardless of the time period used, because it is the gas being used as the reference. CO2 remains in the climate system for a very long time: CO2 emissions cause increases in atmospheric concentrations of CO2 that will last thousands of years.



Methane (CH4) is estimated to have a GWP of 28–36 over 100 years (Learn why EPA's U.S. Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks uses a different value.). CH4 emitted today lasts about a decade on average, which is much less time than CO2. But CH4 also absorbs much more energy than CO2. The net effect of the shorter lifetime and higher energy absorption is reflected in the GWP. The CH4 GWP also accounts for some indirect effects, such as the fact that CH4 is a precursor to ozone, and ozone is itself a GHG.



Nitrous Oxide (N2O) has a GWP 265–298 times that of CO2 for a 100-year timescale. N2O emitted today remains in the atmosphere for more than 100 years, on average.



Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) are sometimes called high-GWP gases because, for a given amount of mass, they trap substantially more heat than CO2. (The GWPs for these gases can be in the thousands or tens of thousands.)

I guess we're debating semantics now on my usage of the word "impact". It's well known C02 is not by molecule the most harmful greenhouse gas. However the sheer amount of it in the atmosphere is what makes it at this time the greatest contributor to global warming. Thus my quote from the trump admin study.

As incredibly smart, wise and well informed as you are, a reasonable person would think you'd know more about it.

Lots to learn in life. Very complex stuff. I leave most of it to the experts as should you.

There's your primary problem, Petey.

I think for myself.

At the risk of being ironic, may I invite you to think for yourself?

Skimming moonbat forums for trolling ideas leaves you painted in a box every time you try it because you don't understand the subject matter and are just parroting what some other moonbat commented on with a copy/paste. What was the definition of insanity, again?
