What the fake climatologists didn't know or didn't want people to know is that there is such a thing as negative feedback. More CO2 does mean more insulating properties and retention of heat but it also means a warmer world creates more evaporation which leads to greater snowfall in northern climates which has a cooling effect as more heat is reflected back into space. This fear mongering about runaway global warming is just garbage. Also, more CO2 means plants can grow better in more extreme climates with less water because they don't lose as much to evaporation when they are breathing. Basically, negative feedback with everything that goes with it means a more stable climate rather than extremes in climate change. They're selling a fake computer model that doesn't hold up to real world observations.
Also, a greening Earth means an Earth that is fixing atmospheric carbon into cellulose. And more plants means more food for the biosphere.
True. One of my interests is cacti. We could significantly improve desert areas by massive planting of desert plants.
Ding ding ding Bingo. Problem is these idiots want to geoengineer to reduce temps, which hinders proper evaporation. Been saying for years that evaporation rates have gone through the floor. Pollutants in the atmosphere via geoengineering or testing etc are making it so water vapor can’t fall properly as rain until it reaches critical mass or accelerant particle is added... recipe for drought then flooding.... But yeah hot equals evaporation equals snow equals reflection Etc
We have two areas in California that kind of bear out the proof of water vapor being an insulator to moderate climate.
We have the Central Valley stretching from Redding all the way down to the pass over The Grapevine pass and Imperial Valley with the Salton Sea at it's lowest spot.
Before the extensive agriculture in those two areas the desert nights were cold even when the days were blistering hot. This is due to the dry air not being able to hold heat as it radiates back into space.
Now, those areas around agriculture have much moister nights so the heat dissipates much more slowly at night and builds up slower during the day. CO2 is a much smaller percentage of this mix so it's mostly water vapor that is insulating the heat and moderating the local climate.
This is something you really don't need sensitive equipment to know about as you can simply drive through these areas and notice the difference. I can clearly remember camping out in the Central Valley as a child when my Grandfather took me there to set out bee apiaries. I call it camping not because that's actually what we were doing. Basically, Grandpa would drive up there with a load of bees and kick my brother and I out of the truck to sleep out on the ground until near sunrise. It was cold and miserable and then by the time the sun came up and the day was truly started the temps would heat up to around 120 degrees during the day. Same for Imperial Valley but today as agriculture has greatly expanded since I was a kid you can drop down out of the desert on I10 and feel the heat and moisture once you drop down into the low farm areas.
Evaporation has a really huge effect on temp, indeed. Has a much higher effect than carbon dioxide, that’s for damned sure. I wish we would create more inland lakes to help our climate in the US. I heard one guy up for governor in Utah wanted to build hydroelectric pumps to refill old salk lakes- lower dust pollution and increase local habitability, while creating green power while other systems are offline... pumps would run when power excesses are had, and would allow flow downhill at night when solar farms are not working. Sometimes I wish the sahara got its old sea back. Imagine the increased habitability there? And increased precipitation for downwind mountain ranges.... ah well There a much bigger environmental no nos than carbon emissions, such as the disappearance of bugs, Amphibians etc., the pollution of water with harder to remove substances (endocrine disruptors that affect frogs included), Disruption of aquifers etc due to neglect by 3rd party environmental agencies etc. Phosphate fertilizer runoff, the collapse of Florida due to the aluminum industry byproducts, cafos that are irresponsible, the list goes on.... so many examples of real world issues that are damaging and preventable. Epa literally prevents responsible private companies from dredging and removIng mercury from streams (so they can do it instead and monopolize gold panning) in california. Shit like this not being talked about enough just makes me see it is all a cash grab and attempt to restrict the mobility of class.
