Climate Science

Will it be possible to induce a volcano to erupt in such a manner that it is manageable and it dumps ash into the atmosphere, and this ash could slow down global warming? Think of a volcano like Kilauea in Hawaii that erupts continuously and the prevailing winds carry the ash away from the islands. Maybe if they throw some substances into the volcano it will be more effective at blocking sunlight?

Hi, I am new on this forum, and English is also not my home language. But I think I can explain my questions in English. I read an article of Valentina Zharkova in nature Oscillations of the baseline of solar magnetic field and solar irradiance on a millennial timescale https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-45584-3 (is'nt it possible to create an hyperlink?) That article claimed (among other things) that the earth is in a cycle of 2000 years, started around 1600. In that cycle the global temperature will rice until 2600 (+2.5 C), after that it will decrease for 1000 years. Similar cycles were responsible for the roman warm period and the medie…

Greetings to all concerned people of science. I suggest watching the video below, which was shot in the city of Mariupol (Ukraine). Suffering from the uncontrolled illegal operation of Metinvest metallurgical plants, our city is on the verge of an environmental disaster. For this reason, I would like to know how we, as city dwellers, can initiate independent environmental monitoring to prevent an impending catastrophe on the coast of the Sea of Azov. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MR95YtxyQk Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm in year 11 and currently doing research project. Could you please fill out my survey about space exploration and the continuation of the human species? There are some climate questions so I thought this forum would be a good place for it to go. Here's the link if you're interested, it would be a really big help for me. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAANAAcxNDkRUMlE4SlMyNUdaSlk3VE5SRzZaTjkyQUdaNS4u

This is how glaciers form, by Summer snow and or longer snow seasons where the snow does not have time to all melt in the Summer. However now as said we are now having Summer snow. Funny how Al Gore has no comment...…………………………... https://www.foxnews.com/us/colorado-mountains-snow-first-day-of-summer https://www.denverpost.com/2019/06/23/denver-weather-summer-snow-mountains-rain/ https://denver.cbslocal.com/2019/06/22/summer-snow-is-celebrated-by-skiers-boarders-enjoying-extended-season/ https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2019/06/25/trail-ridge-road-rocky-mountain-national-park-reopens-after-summer-snow/1564757001/ Yup the climate sure is …

i am from india, kerala state.last time there had a food in my place and we lost lot of trees as consequence.Now there is a very hot summer coming up. I accidentally seen plant transcription has major role in rainfall.(https://www.nature.com/news/2006/060925/full/060925-1.html). i think the thermal resonance might be the cause of that.if so can i solve the problem by planting shrubs instead of trees by achieving resonance thermal energy .because i need an instant effect to fight the drought.

Came across this : http://www.alt-market.com/articles/3796-glacier-national-park-quietly-removes-its-gone-by-2020-signs , thought it might be of interest to some. Glacier National Park Quietly Removes Its ‘Gone by 2020’ Signs Sunday, 09 June 2019 17:15 Roger I. Roots This article was written by Roger I. Roots May 30, 2019. St. Mary, Montana. Officials at Glacier National Park (GNP) have begun quietly removing and altering signs and government literature which told visitors that the Park’s glaciers were all expected to disappear by either 2020 or 2030. In recent years the National Park Service prominently featured brochu…

Due to global warming the wintertime becomes shorter and will be less severe. Longer/severe wintertime inhibits water vaporization and makes trees ( and other plants) go in 'hibernation'. Global warming messes up this system. Can plants adapt to longer growingperiods with on average less water? Or is global warming to fast to allow a normal evolution?

Hello everyone, As a 28 year old elementary school teacher, I am currently in the works of an extensive school program that educates children not only in academics, but in global environmental issues and moral values as well. As it stands, if all information proves to be true, I believe that our planet is on a path to certain doom if certain environmental issues are not addressed and seriously handled. In hopes that we are not doomed by then, I plan on helping educate the younger generation of serious environmental issues that surrounds our planet in hopes that the next generation of human beings can help find a way to save our planet. I have done research from vario…

Is there a risk for megatsunamis (they occur when a very large amount of material (like ice) suddenly falls into water) due to the melting of ice on Greenland and Antarctica? I immediately think about the large volcanic area of West-Antarctica. And is there a good chance La Palma will cause a megatsunami?

Are water vapour levels broadly stable in the atmosphere? Is there any potential for them to rise with increases in global temperatures and impart a feedback effect to any ongoing warming. If so ,what timescales might we be talking about?

Why are rain gauges still used when radar and sattelite data is available?

https://phys.org/news/2019-01-landscape-unseen-years.html Glacial retreat in the Canadian Arctic has uncovered landscapes that haven't been ice-free in more than 40,000 years and the region may be experiencing its warmest century in 115,000 years, new University of Colorado Boulder research finds. The study, published today in the journal Nature Communications, uses radiocarbon dating to determine the ages of plants collected at the edges of 30 ice caps on Baffin Island, west of Greenland. The island has experienced significant summertime warming in recent decades. "The Arctic is currently warming two to three times faster than the rest of the globe, s…

Articles on physorg today concerning climate change......... https://phys.org/news/2018-12-arctic-broad-environment.html Arctic's record warming driving 'broad change' in environment: study: Global warming is heating the Arctic at a record pace, driving broad environmental changes across the planet, including extreme storms in the United States and Europe, a major US scientific report said Tuesday. Persistent heat records have assaulted the fragile Arctic for each of the past five years—a record-long warming streak, said the 2018 Arctic Report Card, released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

And please refrain from saying all scientist agree, because that is no different then saying all Christians believe in Jesus and all Muslims believe in Allah. So be cognitive that all scientist who are in agreement have actually formed a religion. Be aware that I know that climate change is happening, and has always been happening even before humans knew that the Earth was a planet and for 5 billion years before that. 98 percent of all Earth ice was melted by the year 10,000bc, no matter if Mann only wants to look at the last 1000 years, which is like looking at life as it began 1000 years ago. Why are million year old fossils scientifically relevant and only the last…

How can glacial ice be dated, being that in warm periods which clearly happen, the ice at the top will melt. Which erases years or decades, or even hundreds of years of ice. So ice care dating makes the assumption that the top players are recent when they may well be millenia old. Since the amount of this melt can never be known, what use is ice core dating

Great, instead of arguing with other people that do not agree with you, which is fruitless, why don't you begin fixing the problem as you see it. Talk is after all cheap, so are you prepared to never drive an automobile again, or move to a warm climate so you never have to heat a home, and stop eating food delivered by diesel trucks. You are all talk and have no intent to do anything but scream

If wastewater - usually considered the biggest single human waste product by weight - is waste plus water but we only count the waste, and exhaust gases are air and CO2 but we only count the CO2... would that mean it is actually Carbon Dioxide that is the largest single human waste product? By weight? By volume I suspect it could be CO2 anyway - and more confidently suspect exhaust gases containing CO2 would be more by volume than wastewater. It has struck me before just how much CO2 we actually make, mostly oblivious - a more average Australian than me makes 8,000 cubic metres/280,000 cubic feet of CO2 per year. 180 times my own body weight of CO2 per year, 1,800 t…

In an ice age, that covered 95 percent of Canada, and half of the USA under at least a thousand feet of ice, would we be better off? Or is a warmed world better, remembering that the human race became the dominant species in the last 10000 years after the great melt

or think you can? If you succeed and it starts raining in California, the mudslides will wipe away the town. You will be liable Actually not because this is complete comedy, as you can not stop, or alter what has been happening for 5 billion years. Do you really think you can end hurricanes? every time there is a hurricane it's climate change that caused it So will your screaming end hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and droughts. Jesus

Hi guys, I’m a script writer and I have a situation that I’d like help with. In the story, I have a location that used to have connecting roads but there was some kind of flood. I want the flood to have lasted years and years, and to now be residing, so someone could take a Jeep on the roads and manage to drive through them, despite the water being about a foot high. I am trying to explain how the flood happened, what kind of area it could happen, and how a smart character was able to figure out that the roads would be drivable in his Jeep again. I’m also trying to figure out how a flood could last years and years.. or even turn a land into marshlands. …

Seaweeds are also known as Macroalgae. They constitute several species of marine plants and algae. It also includes Red, Green and Brown algae. Seaweeds can grow in ocean, rivers, lakes and other water bodies. Nowadays Seaweeds are attracting interests all around the world for its potential in commercial exploitation and the sustainability needs. advertising url removed

I want to do something that nobody seems to do; look at the upside of climate change and global warming. I live in NE USA and this fall has been beautiful in terms of mild weather and sunny skies. Normally it will be cooler and drearier. This data is not doom and gloom and therefore might seem alien, since climate change is usually pitched with only doom and gloom in mind. Why is that, since a climate shift will redistribute who will be the new winners and new losers. If you look at the media news, did you ever wonder why the news tends to present more bad news than good news? This can make some people can lose a sense of natural data proportion; don't think there is…

Hi everyone I'm asking this for a novel I'm writing and need a little help on the scientific side, especially related to Earth Sciences and hydrology. We all know that the ice caps are melting and this will cause ocean levels to rise. Let's imagine this process happens faster than expected, and in around 80 years from now around three-quarters of the polar ice has gone. From what I've been reading this will mean many coastal cities and towns will be under severe threat or even be washed away altogether. This won't happen overnight so no doubt there will be some population migration to other areas. But how would hydrologists tackle the enormous task of getting ri…

Given: 1. The actual planet Earth; the rock in space, doesn't care at all what temperature it is. 2. Over the last 10,000 years or so, the average temperature of the surface of the Earth has varied less than 2°C. Quite a bit less, in fact. Current assumptions: 1. The atmosphere; its composition, specifically, is the main player in determining global heating/cooling trends. Add more greenhouse gases and the temperature rises. Lower the concentration and the temperature will fall. 2. Man is currently the most responsible for the increase in these gases. Observation: 1. We have had a remarkably stable average temperature over the eon…
