What shall be

Global warming is a natural event that happens, humans have just speed it up by several thousand years. A black hole is simply an existence from this container of a universe into an unknown area.
It doesn't matter if we're going to get sucked in or not because considering how far we are from the nearest one the earth will be pulled into the sun by the dent in space the sun's mass creates. Global warming is unstoppable with our current level of technology; all we can do is prolong it until we are ready for it.
Barry's Response - Not the most optimistic outlook, is it Dave.
We are headed into this
Crash course
...as some think of it. Depending on whose data you examine (i.e., what was included and what was not) studies show world temperatures having increased by at least 1 Fahrenheit degree over the last century. Some, such as weatherspark.com, show a world temperature increase of about 2.2 °C degrees (4°F) per century. Some probably less, but they won't get any publicity.
At this rate a rise of at least another 1°F would be expected in the
absence of additional greenhouse gases. Doomsayers have touted the environmental effects of these changes time and again:
rising sea levels, droughts, regional cold spells, storms etc. One thing we do not hear as often is health implications. Things like a more conducive environment for bacteria and fungus to grow.
If it's inevitable, well, there's not much we can do for it. Except prepare. I haven't yet looked for beach-front property in Tuktoyaktuk, but soon.
Rethinking climate change
In it, we talk about what's inevitable, what can be influenced, and what our role should be. In mainstream climate change narratives, there's only one path: catastrophe. Is this the only possible outcome, or is there another one?
Humans have accelerated global warming, causing dire predictions of environmental collapse. Human activities affect the climate, but natural factors still matter. Even cosmic influences play a role. Wouldn't it be great if we gave these factors more weight?
A Nuanced Look at Global Warming
Here's a key point: temperature records. Temperatures around the world have risen anywhere from 1°F to 4°F per century. Mainstream climate science often presents conclusions as settled despite this range.
Models have struggled with accuracy in the past because of assumptions about CO2 sensitivity. Many have overpredicted warming trends because the Earth's climate self-regulates.
Natural climate drivers you didn't know about
The Sun influences Earth's climate. The impact of solar output on temperature trends is often minimized in climate policy discussions.
El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) affect regional and global temperatures. These cycles can explain a lot of the warming and cooling fluctuations.
Large volcanic eruptions release sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, which reflects sunlight. Global temperatures dropped after Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991.
On timescales of tens of millions of years, Earth's orbital changes affect climate. It doesn't explain current warming, but it confirms that climate shifts happen.
Climate science is corrupted by politics and Money
Despite debate, climate science has become increasingly dogmatic.
Climategate showed how researchers manipulated data, suppressed dissenting views, and controlled peer review. Is it possible to trust science when funding is tied to specific results?
It's not just about numbers and models, it's about stewardship. Earth care doesn't mean surrendering to fear or advocating extreme policies that harm the poor.
A lot of alarmist climate policies hurt developing nations disproportionately. Why don't we focus on innovation, adaptation, and responsible management instead of fear-driven regulation?
If climate change is inevitable, what should we do? Climate change isn't an impending apocalypse, it's:
- Preparedness for disasters, resilient infrastructure, and advanced agriculture.
- Innovations in nuclear energy, carbon capture, and geoengineering.
- Finding a balance between
reducing pollution and improving efficiency.
All natural processes are complex, including climate change. Global warming isn't the real threat, it's intellectual freedom. With open minds, humility, and genuine inquiry, the future might not be as bleak as some would have us believe.
