Some extremely reliable facts that don’t get mentioned because “Muh NaRrAtiVE”…
Did you know?
• CO2, even as a greenhouse gas, has a declining marginal return on its effect? In other words, we have to double the CO2 concentration to have the same potential greenhouse effect.
— In other words, It’s like the bitcoin supply, only the first few halvings (or doublings for CO2) are meaningful in the supply change (or with CO2, the greenhouse effect change). After that it’s negligible.
— in other, other words, IF it has actually made the planet measurably warmer, we’ve already seen the overwhelming majority of any warming we will see?
• That CO2 is a *lagging* indicator of temperature historically, not a *leading* one?
• That the most reliable connection with CO2 levels and historical samples is a massive flourishing of life?
• At the end of the 1800s, CO2 concentration was in the 200 PPM range, and now it’s closer to 400 PPM. Wow! Thats scary huh? Except - 200 PPM is actually a multi million year LOW in CO2 levels and that the very ability for our planet to support plant life… and thus life at all at 150 or below is at risk. While on the other hand, the periods where life was literally exploding on earth (the literal Cambrian explosion and others) CO2 levels were in the 5,000-8,000 PPM range? That the AVERAGE is even something around 5k if I remember correctly? Something comically infeasible from merely burning fossil fuels?
— in other words, we were actually in such a horrible historical low in concentration that we were closer to a planet where life at all could have been unsustainable due to a LACK of CO2?
• That deaths and risks related to climate and weather have done nothing but plummet (like seriously drop like a rock, looks like the dollar value chart) for an entire century and are expected to do nothing but continue to plummet?
• That like 90% or more of weather/climate related deaths are because it’s too fucking cold?
• That for any honest view of the data: IF it should be expected that CO2 will alone actually cause a sustained warmer planet, that this just means more life, a healthier environment, higher crop yields, fewer weather related deaths, and that contrary to it causing a disaster, it’s more likely to have *averted* one?
You’re welcome 😚
