Can you agree with the consensus that humans currently contribute in the neighborhood of 35 billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere annually or do we need to dispute that? Let’s just use that figure for now, eh. So that’s going to warm the atmosphere some, right, or at the very least work to offset natural cooling or combat the effects of aerosols that we’ve also contributed. Aerosols reflect the suns energy and have a cooling effect. But let’s say it warms “a little”. Now the warmer atmosphere causes more water vapor to evaporate from the ocean which increases the water vapor content of the air. Water vapor is a much more potent greenhouse gas. So now that the atmosphere has more water and that, in turn, will cause more water to evaporate . Which begets more warming of the atmosphere. Repeat. Are you seeing the feedback loop here?

Are you seeing the feedback loop here? 35 billion tonnes, or 2 ppm. That’s it. Virtually no effect from 2 ppm Edited May 29, 2019 by DUMPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we continue at 2 ppm for the next 50 years, we’d be at 515 ppm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
