Cold comfort to people getting annihilated by the effects of climate change.

Convenient after that massive “*accidental”methane Dump from NORD2

  • the term accidental does all the heavy lifting, for the thing was blown up by the US of A

Paraphrasing: yeah methane doesn't just trap heat to the planet it also blocks some...

This isn't a "yay" moment it's were not accurately calculating how screwed we are.

The cooling clouds only offset the extra heat generated by the greenhouse effect. So it's not cooling, it's just heating up slower than we thought, which obviously doesn't undo any damages caused. What a joke of a deliberately misworded article.

Doesn't methane also cycle after 10 years as opposed to CO2 which could be up to 1000?

Time to get to work then in these comments... Having a reduction in the effect of climate change is still a positive thing compared to no reduction. Climate change is not a all or nothing thing.

Makes you wonder how many other things they got wrong! I mean this whole push to eletric is just because the american petro dollar will be crushed and they want more control.

This is exactly the reason why reducing methane can be so beneficial in the short term, if we stop replacing the gas that's breaking down we will see benefits immediately, whereas CO2 will have to be actively removed

Yeah, right, SURE!! Exactly WHO funded this study/paper?

I thought we were all meant to be underwater a couple decades back?

I would love to see what the climate settles into when I stop seeing chem trails in the sky on the daily for a year or two. That seems like a much easier intervention to apply than telling everyone to stop using their cars and eating food.

Chemtrails aren’t real. You (clean) burn petrol, you get CO2 and H2O.

It’s the big corporations that make the largest impact. The top 10% of countries, i.e. US, 50% and bottom 50% only 10% combined. China is the biggest emitter by tonnage.

US will always have the most cumulative effect due to size, waste, and being early developed, compounded over the years. The world would go to hell pretty quickly if everyone were able to live like us.

That's really weird... Because here in Australia we have had legislation since, I think, the 70s, allowing for exactly that. It's not exactly a secret, man. Even on Top Gear they had an episode with weather manipulation. China had a song and dance about it not that long ago

If this was enforced I'd have been banned a long damn time ago.

So many articles posted here are too horrifying to not comment on it.

The government could outlaw beef farms and find some sort of substitute. Like in Japan beef is supposedly stupid expensive so some people substitute with horse meat. Which sounds kinda yuck until you consider the fact that McDonald’s is allowed to make rat burgers with no legal consequences whatsoever.

It wouldn’t kill their career — they’d gain the vote of the entire green party. Plus, even if they did it’d be hard to enforce anyway — there’d totally be a black market beef market. Like if people already have a shit-ton of beef cows the government could not possibly stop them all from slaughtering them all at once and selling it off to friends and family.

What I can’t believe is how people go out and tell others not to do certain things because it pollutes the earth in some way, don’t eat steak, or stop using your car. then those same people go and reproduce and have a child essentially doubling , tripling, quadrupling, the amount of pollution they technically have enabled on the planet all for their own selfish desire to reproduce.

I'm more inclined to believe some super-intelligent critter will crawl up out of one of our superfund sites, all its genetics super-screwed from our environmental futt-buckery, and it shows us a few tricks that reverse the ice-melt and zaps a bunch of cancers and viruses lately liberated from the permafrost and denuded rain forest land!

But, pray tell, what are these "recent revelations" you speak of?

That Rex Tillerson is actually an alien in disguise setting up the Earth for an invasion of alien species which will take over our planet. To think he was actually in the highest level of government a few years back sends chills to my spine. See they need a higher temperature to thrive so this has been in the works for over decades and will make their move when the temperature is 1.5c above average. Some people are aware of this hence the fight against climate change and the emphasis on keeping the warming below 1.5c so we can keep the aliens out!

Wake up and look around! Now is the time!

yeah lets make this a echo chamber where we allow misinformation to run amock and set us back.

I love me some uplifting news, and you have to go find it cause capitalism wants us to despair, however, there is a balance to be had with noncritical thinking optimism.

Besides if any is using this space as a reason *not* to do anything to fight for a better world, then they are part of the problem.
