What Climate Crisis? And what is it?

I started this thread because Truth Detector has been whining to me about it.

So what is it? What climate crisis? What is the definition? Is it true or false? Misinformation? Why do some people believe in it?
 
Let's start with a few experts' words.

The Climate Crisis – A Race We Can Win

Climate change is the defining crisis of our time and it is happening even more quickly than we feared. But we are far from powerless in the face of this global threat. As Secretary-General António Guterres pointed out in September, “the climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win”.

No corner of the globe is immune from the devastating consequences of climate change. Rising temperatures are fueling environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food and water insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism. Sea levels are rising, the Arctic is melting, coral reefs are dying, oceans are acidifying, and forests are burning. It is clear that business as usual is not good enough. As the infinite cost of climate change reaches irreversible highs, now is the time for bold collective action.

I believe that there is a such a thing as manmade climate change.

But I also believe it is not nearly as serious as the doomsayers state.

And I also think it is far more important to shelter/feed the homeless and the starving first.
And worry about the planet after.

The climate change people seem to not give a shit about those starving to death.
Yet freak out about a cleaner sky.

I think that is a pathetic, misallocation of concern.

We've been hearing that dumb bullshit for over thirty years now. It's almost as stupid as the Covid health crisis solutions.

I still can't see the definition of climate crisis in that cut and paste. Can you point it out to me?
 
The climate crisis took a catastrophic toll across the globe in 2021. From the Arctic to Louisiana and to China's Henan province, signs that climate change is already altering our weather were everywhere.
In the United States, historic flooding trapped and killed residents in submerged basements. In Canada, an entire town was erased by a wildfire fueled by extreme heat. Rain fell at the summit of Greenland for the first time.
As climate disasters mounted, the world aligned around combating the crisis: Scientists published a landmark report that concluded humans are unequivocally to blame; US President Joe Biden reentered the Paris Agreement in the early days of his administration; world leaders met at the UN climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, to negotiate solutions.

But promises were not met with action in 2021, and humans are pumping more planet-warming emissions into the atmosphere than ever. Experts now warn that the Earth is currently on track for 2.4 degrees Celsius of warming above pre-industrial levels -- far beyond the critical 1.5-degree threshold that scientists say we should stay under.
This year's disasters are proof the climate crisis is intensifying and that the window is rapidly closing to slash our reliance on fossil fuels and to prevent changes that would transform life as we know it.
"What we think of as climate change is now becoming very personal," Jennifer Marlon, a climate scientist at the Yale School of the Environment, previously told CNN. "It's not far away anymore. It's now in our front yard, it's in our backyards, it's in our basements, it's even in our lungs as (we are) breathing smoke from these wildfires."

That isn't the topic. How do we have a climate crisis? How does man do something as massive as cause the earths climate to change? That is absurd bullshit in the extreme. Let me lay out some facts for you.

Below is the composition of air in percent by volume, at sea level at 15 C and 101325 Pa.

Nitrogen -- N2 -- 78.084%
Oxygen -- O2 -- 20.9476%
Argon -- Ar -- 0.934%
Carbon Dioxide -- CO2 -- 0.0314%
Neon -- Ne -- 0.001818%
Methane -- CH4 -- 0.0002%
Helium -- He -- 0.000524%
Krypton -- Kr -- 0.000114%
Hydrogen -- H2 -- 0.00005%
Xenon -- Xe -- 0.0000087%
Ozone -- O3 -- 0.000007%
Nitrogen Dioxide -- NO2 -- 0.000002%
Iodine -- I2 -- 0.000001%
Carbon Monoxide -- CO -- trace
Ammonia -- NH3 -- trace

29% of Earth is land mass. Of that 29% humans occupy less than 2 to 3% of that area. Of the remaining land mass, about 40% is pure wilderness. 14% is true desert and 15% has desert like characteristics. 9% is Antarctica. Most of the remaining 22% are agricultural areas.

The notion that man is causing the planet to heat up based on CO2 that amounts to 0.0314% of the gas in oxygen and less than 3% of the land can only be believed by morons. :rolleyes:

That is the topic if I choose to make it the topic.

And you posting a bunch of random numbers without a link is beyond useless.
Post a link or stop wasting my time, please.


And what is with all this LARGE TYPE?
Are you making up for a small dick or something?

You whined about defining "climate crisis". Now you're whining about how we are in a climate crisis.

Actually, that is a pile of anecdotal bile snowflake. Your posts suggest you're an idiot. :palm:

Those are FACTS. They are easy to obtain and verify if you're not a lazy, dumb thread troll. Try it. PROVE them wrong Mr. IQ 125. Let's see how smart you really are.

There you go. It never takes long for low IQ, mentally unstable morons to engage in puerile insulting. I get it. You've lost the argument, don't have any facts so now you flail and lash out. ;)
