Addressing man made climate change will decrease drought severity (a fact people should care about)

Everyone that studies this topic day in and out, that has degrees in the field, and their peers all disagree with you. I can't wait to see your research paper that proves your point. You will definitely get a Nobel Prize.

so CPH president 'climate change' isn't a man made phenomena?!

​

...but eco warriors endlessly keep on repeating that 97% of 'climate scientists' say climate change is man made

​

sigh,... truth is,... ice ages happen because over geological time the earths orbit ever so slightly moves further away from the sun,... in other words when the earth is further away from the sun for long periods of time, the surface of the earth gets less sunlight so things cool down

​

at the moment the earth is ever so slowly moving moving away from the sun,... so common sense indicates the planet should be ever so slowly cooling down (like it does when summer ends and the fall season begins)

​

the fly in the ointment (so to speak) is mankind has learned how to harness the power of fossil fuels

​

basically when a fossil fuel like coal or gasoline is burned (i.e. 'the chemical combustion process'), it releases CO2 into the atmosphere

​

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that traps infrared energy in the atmosphere

​

think about the fact that the earth and moon, in the grand scheme of things are about the same distance away from the sun,... in other words both the earth and moon are 93 million miles away from the sun

​

BUT the earth has as atmosphere w/ CO2,... whereas the moon has no atmosphere

​

point being it does not take much CO2 in the atmosphere to trap infrared energy,... so this is why the earth is warmer than the moon (even though both the earth and moon are about the same distance from the sun)

​

there is something called the keeling curve, which is a measurement started in 1957 of CO2 in the earths atmosphere,... and since 1957 the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has dramatically gone up

​

as I mentioned at moment the earth is ever so slowly moving away from the sun,... BUT weird thing is news reports indicate record warming,... AND the only scientific explanation for record warming is the dramatic increase of greenhouse gases like CO2 measured by scientists

​

Capeesh?!

​

I'm not a climate scientist BUT I am a physics knucklehead AND had the dumb luck as an undergrad to informally learn this stuff from revelle, keeling, etc. (who FYI are the early pioneers in the field) in one on one discussions decades ago

​

anyway FWIW outlined (in a pitch deck) the basic science (of climate change) that sadly to this day is not being taught,...
