~1500ppm

2019-10-25 14:40:56 UTC  

I mean Venus has an atmosphere of 96% carbon dioxide it says I’m not sure having a atmosphere of 1500 ppm would make it turn into Venus

2019-10-25 14:41:43 UTC  

not in terms of atmospheric compostition, no. But that's not the contention.

2019-10-25 14:42:01 UTC  

What

2019-10-25 14:42:30 UTC  

"atmospheric CO2 levels >400ppm (current) will lead to catastrophic temperature rise."

2019-10-25 14:42:52 UTC  

that's the contention, is it not?

2019-10-25 14:45:06 UTC  

So there is a difference between these things. In ones instance the temperature gain were slower. The ecosystem is able to adapt over the 100,000 or what ever time period. 10000 years maybe. Human beings are raising co2 levels a lot more a quickly and this is why it will lead to catastrophic effects

2019-10-25 14:45:28 UTC  

it's also a fallacy that "Venus is hot because it's atmosphere is 96% CO2"

2019-10-25 14:45:57 UTC  

Venus is hot because it's atmosphere is much thicker than Earth's

2019-10-25 14:47:56 UTC  

Well it’s actually 2 things. It’s high co2 levels and it’s thicker atmosphere. We can observe the green house effect of co2 in experiments. High schoolers do this.

2019-10-25 14:48:09 UTC  

So we know co2 has this effect

2019-10-25 14:49:29 UTC  

the rate of temp change does not explain why 1500ppm would not cause further (increasing) temp rise

2019-10-25 14:49:54 UTC  

where's the runaway greenhouse effect?

2019-10-25 14:50:39 UTC  

What do you mean? What it seems is the carbon dioxide increased more plants started to over grow took the carbon dioxide out of the air.

2019-10-25 14:50:50 UTC  

And the temperature went down

2019-10-25 14:50:54 UTC  

whilst CO2 is correlated to temp quite well, data clearly shows that CO2 increases as a result of increased global temp

2019-10-25 14:51:12 UTC  

not the other way round

2019-10-25 14:51:29 UTC  

Why would higher temperature cause higher co2 levels

2019-10-25 14:52:10 UTC  

This doesn’t make any sense

2019-10-25 14:52:21 UTC  

What is the phenomenon

2019-10-25 14:52:54 UTC  

CO2 is exhaust from animal life, higher stable temps mean more life.

2019-10-25 14:55:10 UTC  

It also means a lot more plants that take carbon dioxide out of the air and it seems plants have more an effect on co2 levels then animals do at least on land. For the time period you have shit tons of plants grew took carbon dioxide out of the air and the world almost ended up in an ice age

2019-10-25 14:56:23 UTC  

Do you deny that carbon dioxide has a green house effect? Do you deny the high schoolers experiments done that show this effect on heat retention? @oojimaflip

2019-10-25 14:56:26 UTC  

plant cycle for captuuring CO2 is much slower to react and time between max plant biomass (governed by CO2 levels) and min plant biomass is muuch longer

2019-10-25 14:56:43 UTC  

So for example

2019-10-25 14:57:11 UTC  

it is a false equivalence to equate a greenhouse and Earth's atmosphere

2019-10-25 14:57:13 UTC  

If you take a jar fill it with carbon dioxide and put it under a heat lamp it is hotter then the jar with lower amounts of carbon dioxide

2019-10-25 14:57:31 UTC  

our atmosphere is not a jar

2019-10-25 14:58:09 UTC  

No of course not but it shows in the small scale the effect that carbon dioxide traping light energy and because of this higher temperature

2019-10-25 14:58:20 UTC  

a greenhouse retains heat because warm air inside cannot leave and equalise temp with the outside air

2019-10-25 14:58:34 UTC  

You have a misunderstanding

2019-10-25 14:58:44 UTC  

it's a lack of convection, nothing to do with radiation

2019-10-25 14:58:53 UTC  

Green house effect is not the same as a green house

2019-10-25 14:59:09 UTC  

These are too different phenomenon

2019-10-25 14:59:16 UTC  

And things

2019-10-25 14:59:28 UTC  

atmospheric greenhouse effect is based on TSI values, yes?

2019-10-25 14:59:30 UTC  

They are called the same just because scientist name things badly

2019-10-25 15:00:10 UTC  

What do you mean based off TSI values

2019-10-25 15:00:41 UTC  

it only calculates based on total solar irradiance

2019-10-25 15:01:23 UTC  

the greenhouse effect is all about radiated heat, yes?

2019-10-25 15:02:22 UTC  

Yes I guess.
