As for Global Warming, my advice to our future Earth Residents is, "Adapt or go Extinct."
This PBS video blames the last Global Warming event (56 million years ago) on Carbon Emissions.
Reference:
https://youtu.be/ldLBoErAhz4 Then it points out that carbon emissions are greater today than during the last global warming event. I do not have any arguments over findings in fossil records.
I do have an argument over the comparison of carbon emissions today compared to during the last global warming.
The commentator said, "At the peak of the PTEM as much as 1.7 billion metric tons of carbon were released into the atmosphere every year.'
And he said, "In 2014 it was 9.8 billion metric tons of carbon per year." (9.8 billon = 0.98 trillion)
FACT CHECK (carbon emmissions from alcohol, gasoine and fuel oil only)
We burn 2.7 million gallons fuel a minute ::
https://phys.org/news/2015-01-million-g ... cheap.html2.7 million x 60 min/hour x 24 hr/day x 365.25 days/year = 1.42 trillion gallons/year.
About 20 pounds of CO2 are produced per gallon of fuel burned. ::
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=307&t=111.42 trillion gal / yr x 20 pounds / gal = 28.4 trillion tons CO2 / yr (1 metric ton = 1.1 ton)
28.4 trillion tons CO2 / yr x 1 metric ton / 1.1 ton - 25.8 trillon metric tons CO2 / year
11 tons of carbon dioxide = 3 tons of carbon ::
https://thinkprogress.org/the-biggest-s ... 0b077313b/25.8 trillon metric tons CO2 / year x 3/11 = 7.04 trillion metric tons carbon / year.
Did I miss a decimal point somewhere? Seven trillion tons of carbon emissions per year from our burning fuel alone is a lot more than 0.98 trillion tons stated in the PBS report.
We cannot stop burning oil until we run out, so humans... adapt to the warming trend and quit complaining.
What doe that mean for those still living in the Sonoran Desert when temperatures peak? I estimate instead of 110 °F summers we will have 120°F summers. That will not equal the hottest place on the planet today (July 10, 1913, Death Valley hit 134 degrees F.)
