february breaks global temperature records by shocking amount

what does science say we should do?

There is nothing we can do to stop or slow climate change. Nothing.

We can stop ALL emissions globally, TODAY, and it won't make any difference for centuries.

Sorry 'bout that. We can't do something just to "do something." There need to be measurables for what difference those actions can make.

So, since nobody else has done it, I'll do it.

Why don't 'we see what the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), which is the organisation referenced in the article, says on this new project?



So let's nutshell that, shall we? What they're saying is:

Yes, climate change is happening, but there appears to be a decade-based pattern in certain geographical areas where there seems to be some cause of a decadal hiatus - we're going to try to find out what's causing that.

What we are NOT doing, however, is denying the existence of climate change, that it has been caused and/or affected by humanity, and we do in fact believe that it is "...one of society’s most pressing problems."

It seems as the author of the article that references NOC (and the OP) hope to use a research project that acknowledges and accepts that climate change is real in order to deny climate change.

How stupid can you get?

I have said many times that nobody denies that there has been some warming in recent times, what is also true is that there has been a pause for near on 20 years but warmists will do anything in their power to deny that. I will leave it to the greatest atmospheric physicist Richard Lindzen to explain it!!

"I think the majority of people working in climate science will go with the view that climate science is serious. I don't think that would be surprising to anyone. There are very few people in any scientific field who say 'My field is not serious'. Other than that there is so much penalty for saying that this is not an important problem that I don't think people would go out on that limb, either."

(Ouch!)

He went on:

"I've asked very frequently at universities: 'Of the brightest people you know, how many people were studying climate [...or meteorology or oceanography...]?' And the answer is usually 'No one.'"

And – warming to his theme:

"You look at the credentials of some of these people [on the IPCC] and you realise that the world doesn't have that many experts, that many 'leading climate scientists'".

Was Lindzen suggesting, asked Tim Yeo at this point, that scientists in the field of climate were academically inferior. "Oh yeah," said Lindzen. "I don't think there's any question that the brightest minds went into physics, maths, chemistry…"

go get your documentation that shows science says give up and polute away

There are loads of links - I just grabbed the 1st one:

"Even if carbon dioxide emissions came to a sudden halt, the carbon dioxide already in Earth's atmosphere could continue to warm our planet for hundreds of years, according to Princeton University-led research published in the journal Nature Climate Change."

Figure out how it actually works would be a good start. Nothing relative to Co2 has gone the way they believed it would. CERN demonstrated that solar emissions such as were observed would raise temps. That's real fact based repeatable documented science. Not a computer model.

Possible responses to global warming

Mitigation

Main article: Climate change mitigation


Refer to caption and image description


The graph on the right shows three "pathways" to meet the UNFCCC's 2 °C target, labelled "global technology", "decentralised solutions", and "consumption change". Each pathway shows how various measures (e.g., improved energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energy) could contribute to emissions reductions. Image credit: PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency.[205]
Mitigation of climate change are actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or enhance the capacity of carbon sinks to absorb GHGs from the atmosphere.[206] There is a large potential for future reductions in emissions by a combination of activities, including: energy conservation and increased energy efficiency; the use of low-carbon energy technologies, such as renewable energy, nuclear energy, and carbon capture and storage;[207][208] and enhancing carbon sinks through, for example, reforestation and preventing deforestation.[207][208] A 2015 report by Citibank concluded that transitioning to a low carbon economy would yield positive return on investments.[209]

Near- and long-term trends in the global energy system are inconsistent with limiting global warming at below 1.5 or 2 °C, relative to pre-industrial levels.[210][211] Pledges made as part of the Cancún agreements are broadly consistent with having a likely chance (66 to 100% probability) of limiting global warming (in the 21st century) at below 3 °C, relative to pre-industrial levels.[211]

In limiting warming at below 2 °C, more stringent emission reductions in the near-term would allow for less rapid reductions after 2030.[212] Many integrated models are unable to meet the 2 °C target if pessimistic assumptions are made about the availability of mitigation technologies.[213]

Adaptation

Main article: Adaptation to global warming

Other policy responses include adaptation to climate change. Adaptation to climate change may be planned, either in reaction to or anticipation of climate change, or spontaneous, i.e., without government intervention.[214] Planned adaptation is already occurring on a limited basis.[207] The barriers, limits, and costs of future adaptation are not fully understood.[207]

A concept related to adaptation is adaptive capacity, which is the ability of a system (human, natural or managed) to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with consequences.[215] Unmitigated climate change (i.e., future climate change without efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions) would, in the long term, be likely to exceed the capacity of natural, managed and human systems to adapt.[216]

Environmental organizations and public figures have emphasized changes in the climate and the risks they entail, while promoting adaptation to changes in infrastructural needs and emissions reductions.[217]

Climate engineering

Main article: Climate engineering

Climate engineering (sometimes called geoengineering or climate intervention) is the deliberate modification of the climate. It has been investigated as a possible response to global warming, e.g. by NASA[218] and the Royal Society.[219] Techniques under research fall generally into the categories solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal, although various other schemes have been suggested. A study from 2014 investigated the most common climate engineering methods and concluded they are either ineffective or have potentially severe side effects and cannot be stopped without causing rapid climate change.[220]

Scientific discussion

See also: Scientific opinion on climate change and Surveys of scientists' views on climate change

Nearly all scientists agree that humans are contributing to observed climate change.[84][235] At least 9 surveys of scientists and meta studies of academic papers concerning global warming have been carried out since 2004. While up to 18% of scientists surveyed might disagree with the consensus view, when restricted to scientists publishing in the field of climate, 97 to 100% agreed with the consensus: most of the current warming is anthropogenic (caused by humans). National science academies have called on world leaders for policies to cut global emissions.[236]

In the scientific literature, there is a strong consensus that global surface temperatures have increased in recent decades and that the trend is caused mainly by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases. No scientific body of national or international standing disagrees with this view.[14][237]

dear fucking idiot,
'


where is it written that I'm supposed to solve this all by myself?


fuck you very much

Did I say you could solve it by yourself? I just figured if you felt so strongly about this that you would take steps in your own personal life. It would seem that you haven't.

You see when I feel strongly about something I don't wait for others for me to act.

I suspect you don't really care as much about this issue as you claim?
