Temperatures in like 1870 or before the industrial revolution are more like what "should be".
im sorry. but 1800-1900 england had the london thames frost fairs (river froze over) and ireland had the potato blight
so forgive me for saying this but england had good harvests during the middle ages and then in the 18-19th century of smoggy london industry .. it got colder....
I find it a bit curious that people and organizations that claim to have science backing them, who want to take control of carbon emissions away from the populations, cannot clearly and simply tell us
what temperature they would set the Earth to, if they were given that power.
How are we to know they are not just some Marxist con artists that just want the power?
best way to know is to actually test their theories
global warming term has flaws because its based on averages where each indicator that makes up the averages has some fault tolerance/error allowances. which can cause issues
also some places are getting colder so its not the whole globe actually warming up equally by 1oc. because some places are getting colder than 1oc
i prefer the term climate change term because different area's have different climates and each of them change in their own way.
once getting to that concept you can then start to work on the individual issues of each climate that distort each regions results
the RAIN forest has a purposeful reason for its name.. emphasis the rain.
science keeps talking about carbon absorbtion. and saying deforestation affects carbon. but the actual % of world carbon absorbtion shows the rain forest doesnt absorb that much over all
they estimate that rainforests equate to 2bill tonnes
the world absorbs 40bill tones(so rain forest is 5%)
however the atmosphere has 750billtonnes
thus the rain forests 2bill is only handling 0.26% of all atmosphere carbon
so shouting 'rainforests rainforest rainforests' wont change the atmospheric composition of carbon very much
double the amount of trees the rainforest has will only impact 0.26% extra absorbtion
rain forests do other great things. they change the temperature balance of the area to make it rain more. yep rain .. ill say it again rain.
the rain then runs through the ground to then have that nice thin layer to be evaporated easily from the ground around it and from the foliage.
but less water= higher temperature=less water=higher temperature
=drought on lower land thats no longer fueled by rainforest water sources. thus more land dries thus higher temperature
deforestation of rainforest and taking natural water cycle away and then only feeding the land with only just enough man piped sourced water to just feed the plant foliege of the farm and not the ground. doesnt help the situation
many places in america have seen their old rivers dammed up so farmers can no longer use old style stream/river/canal irrigated water. and instead rely on reservoir piped water which they ration out.
they also strart digging wells undergroond to get the underground aquifer water. but some places in america are drying out those sources too.
american farmers are finding less and less 'fertile' plots of land due to their own actions of rationing water/changing natural water cycle
when people say carbon makes temperature higher makes water dry out .. the actual equation is
diverting the water makes temperature rise
take the colorado river..
In its natural state, the river flowed all the way from the high plains of the Western U.S. to the Gulf of California in Mexico. But because it is so heavily tapped along the way for agriculture, industry, and municipal uses, it rarely reaches the ocean anymore. For a few short weeks in 2014, the U.S. and Mexico cooperated, allowing the waters to reach the ocean. An effort is underway to restore the flow permanently, but is unlikely to be implemented soon.
not one mention of carbon as the cause
california droughts are not called california smogs. its not like certain seaasons have high smog that causes temperature rise. its low water that causes temperature rise
once people recognise the actual causes of problems in their area and they do something about it. then they can change things.
EG we know in erope (mainly for gred of keeping low supply/high demand) they put in quota's to stop farmers farming as much. this has actually kind of helped not over farm some land. but the compensation they give should be allocated to let farmers plant mixed vegetation to refertilise the land. rather than leaving to to to go barren
reservoirs should collect some water. but not just hoard it because while keeping cooled /covered water in a reservoir. less water is evaporating for fresh supplies folowing seasons. thus they are slowly shooting themselves in the foot.
other things like using desalination plants to convert sea water into usable land /agriculture water
if they can afford to pipe whole cities for drinking/sewage pipes. then they can afford the opposite to pump in water from the ocean to cover the land they have made barren
