I seem to have stumbled across a question no one can answer. About HOW MUCH of the earth’s measured warmth is from increased CO2? Before you start yelling denier and calling me names just read on and you will see I’m not saying that. I’m saying I would like to make a decision for myself if it’s worth all the proposed changes AND will those things actually decrease the warming? Many “Solutions’ actually have their own greenhouse gas, pollution, and negative environmental contributions.
If anyone is reading this and would like to send me an answer I’ll add some qualifiers to help you.
1.) I’m looking for the measured warmth and not models, predictions, proposed increases, etc… ( we now know all those models were wrong and ran too hot.)
2.) I’m not talking about the total warmth as we have those numbers now that we have been measuring with satellites since the late 70s. ( it’s about 0.13 of a degree p/decade or a degree p/century )
3.) Not looking for natural increase, as the earth is in a warming period, and much of the increase is from that.
4.) Not looking for the amount from ALL manmade contributors. Yes, there are a number of manmade contributors that are not CO2 like Urban Heat Sink from the construction of roadways, parking lots concrete and steel buildings, etc.. absorbing the sun and heat all day and then taking all night to cool down. Resulting in an increased average temp compared to decades before.
5.) Again we are looking for just the amount of the temp increase from CO2 or even all greenhouse gases.
6.) Lastly be on the lookout for the search results and papers that use terms like may, might, could likely cause, are predicted to, etc…
You would think this figure would be readily available and well-known. But I can’t find it online aka searches. It goes unanswered when I ask climate alarmists, green energy advocates, politicians, etc… I mean if we are going to turn economies and comforts upside down I would think we need to have a base number to compare with and determine benefits before we get so far down the road and find out how much CO2 and other gases generated from making windmills, solar panels, electric cars…
Again no need to get on your high horse, as you can see I’m not a denier, just looking for a number. Feel free to send a link here or even on Twitter
BTW if you can’t answer the question that’s EVEN MORE REASON to not spew your hate.
Here is Obama-era, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy saying “while we can’t define the exact reductions that would be achieved from any one action in climate, there is absolutely no reason to do that because we know it will take a lot of efforts to actually make those reductions“. She even referred to a court case sort of saying a judge agreed that they didn’t need to find an answer. THIS IS NOT SCIENCE people.
