buut they can build more desalination plants
this is from a left-wing source
(provided they can educate enough people to be able to run and maintain them)
oh... wait...
it represents the difference between doing nothing about climate change (current trajectory) at 2 degrees, and following the guidelines of the climate folks
which will surely reduce productivity greatly
at 1.5 degrees
it just doesn't look like a crisis to me
how does high temp lead to less water?
less freshwater
how?
higher temp means more salt water evap
greater circulation of water vapour
=more rain
deserts aren't dry because they are hot... it's because they are *inland* and away from sources of water vapour
it also depends on latitude, because of cold water sea currents
What is more, most fish that are particularly vulnerable to climate change are characterised by a low commercial and fishing significance. "The species most susceptible often have a smaller body size, they are rare species with a small distribution area, and are therefore not necessarily of direct economic relevance.
idk how it does
they just say it does
the point is that
even with their worst case scenario
if we do nothing
its really not that bad
I still dispute that human produced co2 has a statistically significant impact on Earth's climate
@oojimaflip let’s say you have a bucket with a hole in the bottom. You are putting water in and water comes out. The water goes up to almost the lid. This bucket is at an equilibrium same amount of water leaves as enters . Then you increase the water flow my 3% what happens
Earth's atmosphere is not equatable to a bucket with water in it. What lengths will you go to with these false analogies?
No
I’m saying
You're trying every tactic you can in desperation
You are saying what what ever percent of carbon dioxide
Humans create is small
Right?
Compared to the whole ecosystem
currently it is 3% of the annual flux
Sure
why doesn't the other 97% of that flux affect the climate?
You are saying humans create 3% this number is really small so how can it create an increase in co2
But I’m saying
In the bucket case
why does the natural co2 flux not have a greater effect than human produced co2?
