If CO2 is trapping warm air in the upper atmosphere, why do people who summit MT. Everest wear parkas and use air packs?
Favourite answer:The back radiation feature of the mythical greenhouse effect theory defies the 1st and 2nd Laws of thermodynamics. Recycling CO2 to the surface and back again is call a "perpetual engine machine" which violates the 1st L of T. The 2nd L of T is violated because at the top of the atmosphere it is minus 50C and heat only flows from warm to cold, not the other way around.
Therefore, the Anthropogenic Greenhouse effect is debunked. The alarmists are lying.

Why don't we use solar power instead of fossil fuels to stop global warming?
Favourite answer:Rooftop solar with battery backup is become more affordable. Retail prices for solar panels in China are now 20 - 25 cents per Watt and batteries are less than 100 per kWh. I don't expect solar to come down in price much, but I do expect batteries to drop a lot with production capacity increasing.
It is disappointing to see that the US gave that leadership role away to China. Thanks deniers...

Do alarmists believe that once a little permafrost melts it will cause a chain reaction and melt all the ice and flood the world 60 m?

Is there a way to reverse global warming?
Favourite answer:The earth will continue to warm well after we stop dumping greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, until earth has found a new equilibrium. The oceans are massive heat sinks, it is one of the reasons we flock to the beaches on hot summer days.
And there are ways to cool the earth, iron fertilization of the ocean, scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere and injecting aerosols into the atmosphere have all been proposed.
Injecting aerosols is probably the cheapest and a country like India could decide to lower earth's temperature because a politician thinks it is too warm. And that politician could argue that any objection is shear hypocrisy when nearly all other countries clearly have not made an effort to stop our own emissions when the earth was warming?

How has the increase in atmospheric CO2 impacted our food production?
Favourite answer:Humans are the savior of life on Earth. There has been insufficient volcanism in the last c50 million years to counter the relentless removal of CO2 by ocean crustaceans. CO2 levels fell perilously close to the mass extinction of land life at the bottom of the last glaciation and would almost certainly have done so in the coming glacial period if it were not for human activity. The 'greenest' and most environmentally positive power source is fossil fuel. Long may it burn because we need CO2 levels to increase by a factor of 3 before we head back into glaciation. Increasing atmospheric CO2 will not prevent glaciation (The Earth has entered glaciation with levels 10x higher than today) but will help protect plant, and hence animal, life as we head inexorably into a colder climate.
So what is the greatest of all human achievements? It is saving life on Earth by alleviating the carbon drought.

What do you make of the global warming denier troll being schooled by David?
Favourite answer:I'm not sure that was "the" denier troll. You could be right but I interpreted it as a legitimate question by a new user, which is why I was happy to take a moment to answer.
Always willing to provide useful information if there is at least benefit of the doubt that the question is asked with a good faith desire to learn.

How can average people fight dangerous climate change myths and anti-environment propaganda?
I’m NOT talking about social media restrictions against misinformation like they already have on Twitter and Facebook. I’m talking about how to educate our friends, family, and acquaintances in the community. They need to know the truth of this existential threat.
Climate change is always a hot topic at the local five and dime in American communities. So how do we deal with the dewberry people who don’t believe in the science? What is the solution to the unscientific mind?
