buut they can build more desalination plants

2019-10-25 16:05:54 UTC  

this is from a left-wing source

(provided they can educate enough people to be able to run and maintain them)

2019-10-25 16:06:25 UTC  

oh... wait...

2019-10-25 16:06:30 UTC  

it represents the difference between doing nothing about climate change (current trajectory) at 2 degrees, and following the guidelines of the climate folks

2019-10-25 16:06:40 UTC  

which will surely reduce productivity greatly

2019-10-25 16:06:45 UTC  

at 1.5 degrees

2019-10-25 16:06:56 UTC  

it just doesn't look like a crisis to me

2019-10-25 16:07:26 UTC  

how does high temp lead to less water?

2019-10-25 16:07:57 UTC  

less freshwater

2019-10-25 16:08:06 UTC  

how?

2019-10-25 16:08:20 UTC  

higher temp means more salt water evap

2019-10-25 16:08:34 UTC  

greater circulation of water vapour

2019-10-25 16:08:40 UTC  

=more rain

2019-10-25 16:10:11 UTC  

deserts aren't dry because they are hot... it's because they are *inland* and away from sources of water vapour

2019-10-25 16:11:11 UTC  

it also depends on latitude, because of cold water sea currents

2019-10-25 16:11:44 UTC  

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.

2019-10-25 16:11:51 UTC  

idk how it does

2019-10-25 16:11:56 UTC  

they just say it does

2019-10-25 16:12:04 UTC  

the point is that

2019-10-25 16:12:05 UTC  

deserts do get hotter because they are dry, that's because there is no cloud cover

2019-10-25 16:12:12 UTC  

even with their worst case scenario

2019-10-25 16:12:15 UTC  

if we do nothing

2019-10-25 16:12:18 UTC  

its really not that bad

2019-10-25 16:13:26 UTC  

I still dispute that human produced co2 has a statistically significant impact on Earth's climate

2019-10-25 17:03:52 UTC  

@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

2019-10-25 17:06:10 UTC  

Earth's atmosphere is not equatable to a bucket with water in it. What lengths will you go to with these false analogies?

2019-10-25 17:06:22 UTC  

No

2019-10-25 17:06:24 UTC  

I’m saying

2019-10-25 17:06:34 UTC  

You're trying every tactic you can in desperation

2019-10-25 17:06:35 UTC  

You are saying what what ever percent of carbon dioxide

2019-10-25 17:06:44 UTC  

Humans create is small

2019-10-25 17:06:49 UTC  

Right?

2019-10-25 17:06:57 UTC  

Compared to the whole ecosystem

2019-10-25 17:07:16 UTC  

currently it is 3% of the annual flux

2019-10-25 17:07:23 UTC  

Sure

2019-10-25 17:07:44 UTC  

why doesn't the other 97% of that flux affect the climate?

2019-10-25 17:07:54 UTC  

You are saying humans create 3% this number is really small so how can it create an increase in co2

2019-10-25 17:08:04 UTC  

But I’m saying

2019-10-25 17:08:09 UTC  

In the bucket case

2019-10-25 17:08:40 UTC  

why does the natural co2 flux not have a greater effect than human produced co2?
