Climate Science

I came up with some bizarre suggestions on the subject of global warming, would like to share them here. I did some research on this subject and it appears to me the solution to global warming might be a simple equation. Apparantly Carbon dioxide, a prime global warming institute, when combined with carbonates, (a secondary compound) gives you Bicarbonates (a family friendly, organic, tree hugger of a compound.) So basically, build factories near the sea, dispose of carbon dioxide into the ocean (where carbonates the compound is found is bushels) and whoosh, the carbon dioxide enters the surface of the sea but gets no further. It does not, as some have sugg…

I'm familiar with the prediction that global warming is melting the polar ice caps and glaciers around the world causing the oceans to rise. But wouldn't global warming also cause the oceans to evaporate by a certain degree, thereby off setting the rise in ocean levels? When scientists make predictions about how much ocean levels will rise, do they take into account rates of evaporation?

Repeatedly see illustrations on how extensive the ice age was thousands of years ago, covering to about 45-50 0 lat.N and beyond. But never see the same depicted for southern latitudes. How was the equatorial climate and temperature then ? And the equatorial flora + fauna did adapt and evolved in such 'short' amount of time to now tropical temperatures ? Or was the temperature gradient such brutal from the icy edges to equator ?

Due to a question asked on another forum, I tried to look into the mechanism by which charge separation takes place in thunderclouds. To my surprise it seems we still don't know how it happens. I found this paper, summarising the various hypotheses and the drawbacks of each: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/227134643_Charge_Separation_Mechanisms_in_Clouds Apparently the leading hypotheses are an inductive mechanism, relying on polarisation of liquid water droplets and one involving charge transfer between "graupel" (soft hail) and ie crystals. The inductive hypotheses relies on the idea that the electric field within the cloud (+ve at the top…

Is climate a factor in soil formation? Is climate type an indication of soil type? Seoul and New York have the same type of soil - udepts (inceptisols). Both cities have the same average annual wind speed and atmospheric pressure (10km/h, 1017mbar). New York has an annual rainfall of 1334mm and 63% relative humidity. Seoul has 1487mm of precipitation and air humidity of 72%, 1487/72*63=1301. Almost the same annual rainfall.

Cooling lakes and reservoirs to reduce bacteria and algae blooms and maintain healthy fish stocks? Hi, I have posted this idea several times in the Guardian newspaper's environment and climate sections several times over the last six years. I'm proposing the cooling of reservoir and lake water sources powered by renewables to reduce algae blooms, bacteria, and to create healthy conditions for resident fish stocks. I envisage water pumps onshore or offshore to cool the water via cooling machines powered by solar, wind, and water mills, the water mills being placed at the tributaries to the lakes.

According to the UN panel, sea level rise was supposed to be about 6 inches per decade, but it seems a linear trend was suggested. However, if you look at past ice ages sea level rise could have been about 100 m, ofcourse it might be less if only a part of the artic and antartic zones are thawed, but could this be nonlinear? In other words, could sea level rise due to global warming be linear for the first degree or two and then accelerate?

Perhaps I mean optimal height, but please menation other considerations.

If the 20th century was especially generous to nuclear power and by 1990s-early 2000s most of the world derived most energy from nuclear power, how would the rate of climate chnage be compared to the actual one?

As I read about droughts in California and Texas, but floods in Kentucky I wonder if the obvious engineering commonsense reaction will pertain. We need more water collection, storage and distribution facilities compared to the past. Will politix ever permit the obvious engineering solution ?

The heat of the burning wood comes from solar energy. So trees store solar energy by removing it from environment. The absence of trees causes a greater dispersion of solar energy in the environment causing an increase in temperature(Global Warming regardless of CO2). All the wood mass we see is related to the solar energy stored by the trees for many years. (I haven't considered the fruits of the trees etc, which in a year decompose and release solar energy and CO2 again) About it 1-Can there be a relationship between glaciations-forest decrease and forest increase-ice retreat(Glaciations cycles. Regardless of…

Being scientific people, I believe that most of us would probably have been frustrated about climate change, and all the things that are happening. My question is simple. How do you manage that anger? People tell me that this is something we can't control, or it is something "off topic". WHAT ELSE IS THE TOPIC? I just want to know if you also think that humans are afraid of building bigger things and taking bold steps.

So this site puts Canada past the USA as far as greenhouse gas emissions per capita go. Which strikes me as a tad counter-intuitive, as we're not quite as prone to car culture as Americans or to eating quite as much meat. But then I got to thinking about the notorious bitumen sands of the prairies, and how those are considered especially bad for the environment, even compared to the (as of Deepwater Horizon) infamous fossil fuel extraction methods of the USA. But that leaves behind two further questions: A. How do they distinguish greenhouse gases produced at extraction from those produced at consumption? Is it simply a matter of calculating from w…

When will a new ice age happen? Has there been any hint as to when it can happen? How will we know when a new global ice age has happened? I await some replies. kind regards John Stefan

How long is it before the Gulf stream finally collapses? And When it has collapsed how much will the Earth be affected? I await some replies. kind regards John Stefan

Greetings, I am trying to understand how serious is current situation of pollution on the planet? How long should it stand until everything collapse? I know it is hard to answer this question, but someone more knowledgeable than me should be able to say something more about this topic. Reasons and consequences preferable!

So I've been thinking a lot about how we can help fix and stop climate change and one thing came to mind... I remember watching a documentary about the history of earth from the start and hearing that a bacteria is what produced the air we breathed today and it is estimated that it contributes to 50-80% of that. After realizing this is a huge amount i was wondering... is it possible to genetically modify the Phytoplankton to be exact to produce more oxygen or do make them reproduce faster? if we can get them to produce faster... would this be able to stop global warming? (This would also need more trees and less carbon emissions as well). Let me know I've been …

Our view on climate change, the point where we are today and predictions are the result of scientific breakthroughs, steady developments and of course technological leaps. All of the above components are the keys for the climate models, upon which we fully rely. Firstly, I would like to share a link, which is different from popular climate change and modeling discussions with its analysis approach. https://medium.com/our-changing-climate/climate-modelling-from-manabe-and-wetherald-to-supercomputer-jasmin-1c8d5d11431b My second point would be human impact and actions planned and being done for the nearest future. Net zero 2050 might be unrealistic. But …

https://apnews.com/article/science-glaciers-antarctica-e9687077d7295e8218ba7cbcb9246ca3 A team of scientists is sailing to “the place in the world that’s the hardest to get to” so they can better figure out how much and how fast seas will rise because of global warming eating away at Antarctica’s ice. Thirty-two scientists on Thursday are starting a more than two-month mission aboard an American research ship to investigate the crucial area where the massive but melting Thwaites glacier faces the Amundsen Sea and may eventually lose large amounts of ice because of warm water. The Florida-sized glacier has gotten the nickname the “doomsday glacier” because…

I realized this a few years ago. This is my theory although I am 100% certain it is not a theory but fact however this is science and without hard evidence it is still theory. There are many theories about how this can occur and the most popular is the theory involving slight variations in earths orbit around the sun but this is just bad science and after you read this you will understand why. When earth is healthy with little negative influence from mankind earths forests thrive. When this occurs the air becomes rich with oxygen and very little carbon causing too much of the suns heat to escape as there is not enough carbon in the atmosphere to trap the heat.…

I’m having trouble deciding where to start in this Climate Change thread. I’m not a climate scientist, so I can only make comments to some extent on the broad picture. I’m not a member of any group, and any thoughts I present are the results of my own research on aspects of the claims. As distinct from the general thrusts of arguments to date, I’m pleased to say that the IPCC appears to be becoming more conservative about the average global near surface temperatures. It’s a huge change from the ‘Mann hocker stick” and ‘Al Gore’ alarmist days. The 2021 Report Summary relating to temperatures is contained in Section A.1.1, which says, in part, -- “Each of the last…

What are the fiur big figures please for a "weather beginner" on the Lidls radio controlled weather station. Right now, (London 1pm) The top left reads -34C , top right, 86%. These two are flashing. The second row down reads. Left, 22.3 C and the second row down right figure reads 66%. The second row down is temperature I imagine, but the others make no sense. Please help and keep well.

Hi everyone, I'm filming a scene for a short film set in a world where climate change has advanced and the main character studies these new weather patterns occurring everyday (mostly wind and extreme heat waves). In this particular scene, he is seen finishing to write something on a white board. I learned that bell-curves is what is typically used in climate sciences but I want to be a bit more accurate in showing him writing down day-to-day differences in the climate he is studying and living in. What would a scientist/researcher be looking at, to understand the extreme weather event in Germany or in China? I have attached a photograph of my whiteboard…
