But they're going to reduce their emissions intensity!  Just don't expect them to do it by giving up fossil fuels. Because they won't.

In another sign of the seriousness with which Americans are addressing climate change, Toyota is predicting that the RAV4 will soon overtake the Camry as its best-selling car.

computer parts posted:I don't know what that site is, but the listing on Toyota's website have them both at roughly 25 & 32 (slightly more for the Camry but only on the highway). Fair enough. I think it's self-reporting, but even the self-reporting on fueleconomy.gov gives 25.7 for a 2015 RAV4 (24 for recent year 2WD models) and 28-30 for recent Camrys.

What's a global warming denier to do when their favorite data set starts to show global warming? Move on to the next dataset that "proves" your claim, of course: upper troposphere (100mb) temperatures!

Rime posted:You guys are funny. The impact on the first world isn't just going to be high food prices, it's going to be war and social shocks the likes of which we haven't seen in centuries. Related: that James Hansen paper suggesting that the ice sheet melt-global warming feedback loop is non-linear just made it through peer review. You know, the one that said we might want to prepare for 2-5 meter sea level rise by the end of the century.

Tree Bucket posted:I'd like to know more about this, and not just because my part of the world's seen record heat, coral bleaching, bushfires in places that aren't supposed to get bushfires, etc. Would people just... move away for the worst of summer and one year never come back? And anyone want to guess what happens when it's too hot for the Hajj? Here you go.

We must keep carbon in the ground.quote:Here, using simulations from four comprehensive Earth system models, we demonstrate that CO2-attributable warming continues to increase approximately linearly up to 5 EgC emissions. These models simulate, in response to 5 EgC of CO2 emissions, global mean warming of 6.4–9.5 °C, mean Arctic warming of 14.7–19.5 °C, and mean regional precipitation increases by more than a factor of four. These results indicate that the unregulated exploitation of the fossil fuel resource could ultimately result in considerably more profound climate changes than previously suggested.

ChairMaster posted:Geoengineering ideas may be ridiculous and dangerous proposals towards preventing the end of global human civilisation due to catastrophic climate change, but if anyone in this thread or anywhere else things that a political solution is possible now, or that one will ever be possible at any point in time, they are either fooling themselves or a complete idiot. On that note, you'll be glad to hear that the House of Representatives is finally doing something about the revelation that Exxon knew about global warming all along. (You will be unsurprised to find out what that "something" is.)

WaryWarren posted:goddamn, i say. it went up over the weekend but plunged again in the past three days. Has this graph been independently verified? Posters above have questioned the numbers going in to it and no one has rebutted the issues raised. I too tried to find the numbers that went into it, and had the same trouble validating it.
