Could someone explain to me why earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes are considered as independent of climate when something like a volcanic eruption has more immediate impact on climate than man-made emissions?

this is really interesting but am still skeptical of the portion that states that humans have more effect than volcanoes
Quote:
On average, volcanoes spew over 130 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. That sounds like a lot, but compare it to global fossil fuel emissions: in 2005, we emitted more than 27 billion tons of CO2. Emissions from human activity are more than 200 times the emissions from volcanic activity.
and it is also interesting that they have a graph that shows my "point"

do not personally believe "climate change" to be synonymous with "global warming" so volcanic eruption having a really pronounced downward impact on temperature is still in a seeming support of my claim that a volcanic eruption has a more pronounced immediate impact than man-made emissions
like, global cooling trends due to human emissions may or may not happen -- but even if they do, they happen over a longer and more gradual timeline than an eruption

At some point it will become impossible to pretend GHG's can continue to be produced en masse like they are.
This thing really will be out of control at some point, with nature releasing untold amounts of methane from the melting permafrost and methyl hydrates on the seabed, and whatever else is going to go on.
What an age of denial and irresponsibility, how is it that America currently has a comical mascot for this culture as president? Who's writing the script?
If this was a movie they cast him perfectly. He's out there talking about clean coal and disparaging wind power, with a highly theatrical delivery and everything. Funny voices, little sounds, animated body language. Then he'll speak ill of the dead and start talking about how toilets don't flush the first 14 times and, well, you know how it goes.
People aren't thinking clearly. This is the most fucked up shit that has ever taken place in the history of mankind. The future is going to come, someday It will be 2100, 2300, 2700 etc, the future is guaranteed to arrive, you can have full confidence in that.
What do you think this place is going to be like in 100 years if we don't get our act together? Do you think we'll even make it to 2050 without a heatwave that gets to 130F or something? How many of you have to get scared before you open your eyes to this?
It's going to happen. And if we ever do get into a situation where there really is massive die off, at some point we will become powerless to steward the earth. Think of that for a dystopian future if you like movies so much.
There is so much that needs to be done, and we have the power to do it. We possess the capital to build a sustainable system much more in harmony with nature, and while we are at it, let's build one that's in harmony with our social nature. It's only a matter of mobilizing the capital. Are you going to let these clowns tell you any different?
Over the last 35 years the sun has shown a cooling trend. However global temperatures continue to increase.

Your climate alarmist doomsday friends have been 100% wrong, on every single one of their climate alarmist predictions, since the 1960s. You have not a single leg to stand on. No serious scientist on Earth believes there will be a mass extinction due to climate in any near future. Nor is there ANY solid evidence at all that humans are the main cause. Or that we can do anything about it. US leads the world on reducing emissions. (Despite leaving BS climate accord) India and China are the biggest producers of pollution and emissions globally, by far.. go ahead and get them to stop. lol..

@Metoo do you think the Australian fires are related to climate change? What about the never-ending shitstorms that have been hitting Puerto Rico?
They are the only ones going back a while I could find. Please post more recent stats if things have changed.
"Related" is not a very scientific term because in a complex system everything is interconnected to a degree. Attribution is more meaningful here but as far as I understand no single event is "caused" by climate change. For what it is worth the aggregated hurricane activity has actually been trending down:

But my angle is different. There have always been extreme climate events and they will not stop. Maybe we will have more draughts but less floods idk but is the overall global effect of all these changes going to be detrimental to humans? I think the popular assumption is that it will be but have they properly allowed for the positive effects?
One example. Food supply is absolutely critical to avoid global social disruption and we need arable land to grow stuff. In a warmer World we will lose some marginal arable land in the hot climates and gain some closer to the poles. Now, I would say that with the right technology we know how to irrigate deserts (Israel grows stuff in Negev) but we can't cultivate permafrost so the aggregated nett result of the climate zone shift on the food supply may be positive.

It should be noted this graph needs to use a logarithmic scale to accurately represent GDP growth (for example: 2000 to 4000 represents 100% growth, while 4000 to 6000 only represents 50% growth)

Please clarify - does this graph in your view supports the claim that "We are at a multi centuries low in world wide economic growth"?

Well, this is not what has happened - the Dutch got their shit together and created a remarkably advanced and efficient society. In fact they are now capitalising on their geographic misfortune by exporting the hydro engineering knowledge to others.
Would this turn of events have been predictable using the economic models we are currently using to assess the future impact of global warming?
Imagine if Donald Trump was the president of holland

But yeah, the tax cut went only to the rich, and only the rich are benefitting from the best economy in the history of the world.
Actually that is due to minimum wage increases in certain states. If you look at the data, in states that didn’t increase the minimum wage, wage growth for low income workers is lagging. Also, lower end wage growth has been fairly robust since 2016 and cleverly has nothing to do with the tax cuts
