Humans May Be Responsible For Well Over 100% Of Global Warming

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-why-scientists-think-100-of-global-warming-is-due-to-humans/amp

 

There are ranges and varying estimates on the article but some estimates place human contritions to Global Warming at 110% even as high as 134%

 

The reason for the surpassed 100% mark is because natural changes and variations such as aerosols like volcanos that can block some sunlight may have resulted in natural cooling since 1950 meaning it offset some of the global warming and without natural change global warming would actually be worse

 

The lowest estimated put our blame at around 70%. Meaning we would be in a natural period of warming but it would still be only 1/3 the amount without global warming

 

The last warmest period was in medival times where it got as least as warm as the 1990s if not warmer. Of course the change was more gradual

are we surprised at all?

Spoiler

well, besides str8 cis-het white men who think climate change is a "natural course of events"

Cows lol

 

Jk we are the ones that breed so many cows to begin with

 

But there's natural variations. By the amount we are responsible for largely is an argument of what the natural change would be right now and if you add it or subtract it to our activities, on a net basis what is our share of the blame

 

By some estimates it seems like it may be over 100%

I'm not surprised at all

Cisgender heterosexual 

OT: Not surprised but I am interested how they came to this conclusion

Still don't know exactly what that refers to

 

And the conclusion is based on factors they are trying to take in account that occur naturally to see what the natural temperature changes would have been without human activity

 

It's hard to be fully conclusive about it and hard to estimate hence the 79% to 134% big range

Cisgender means your gender aligns with the sex you were assigned at birth (cis=same), i.e., people who aren't trans (ex: born a male and identify as a man) 

And gotcha. I can imagine it's difficult to figure that out. Interesting.

Y'all acting like it was obvious that it was over 100% and that our planet was supposed to be cooling right now

Oh. Ok thanks

 

And on that case that comment was too generalized. Most straight men DO believe in global warming

 

It's the conservative old white men in politics or business world that fight back on the idea (and even in business world many think it's a big issue)
