dfk41 As the world gets warmer, it’s called global warming. Which in itself is a change in climate.
The last question is the most difficult as it’s down to many things:
- Industrialisation
- the effects of industrialisation (oceans, forests and other habitats), through felling, damming, building, overfishing, pollution etc..
- Natural Cycles
- Volcanos
- Unknowns?
If it was a simple as more CO2 there would be more plankton, plants would grow, scavenging the extra CO2, the same as happened when oil was forming. Dinosaur shite no doubt made methane and the climate cycled. We have had a number of ice ages
You have to remember we can’t stop climate change, we can’t even stop the burning of fossil fuels and it’s a nonsense to think we can. People don’t stop until there’s none left…it’s the way we are. You think India or China, the African nations, Russia, USA etc.. are going to stop, of course they won’t, not until it’s mostly gone.
They will all talk a good talk and do bugger all, as usual. The smart nations will realise it’s going to run out and “possibly” get governments that will start a Nuclear power programme before the lights go out and we huddle in front of newspaper fires in our front rooms.
Trouble is we don’t like other countries to have nuclear power do we….?
The big problem will be when all the oil and gas has been spaffed up the wall by combusting it, and we have no synthetics, medicines, fertilisers, lubricants and all the other good things.
Humankind has greedy eyes and never has enough!
