Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find "Man-made Climate Change Doesn't Exist In Practice"

If the levels of atmospheric CO2 (ie. Carbon-12) is increasing, why is the levels of Carbon-13 then not increasing?
Read the Wikipedia description carefully:
The two main carbon isotopes are 12C and 13C. Plants absorb the lighter isotope, 12C, more readily than 13C. Because fossil fuels originate mainly from plant matter, the 13C/12C ratio in the atmosphere falls when large amounts of fossil fuels are burned, releasing 12C.

You seem to be either confused, or starting a circular argument. Edit: See longer answer below.

@RaptorSA Mixing ratios are not intuitive to someone who has not studied chemistry. Even the Wikipedia article reads ass-backwards.

BECAUSE CARBON 12 IS INCREASING SO BY DEFAULT THE LEVEL OF CARBON 13 IS DECREASING SINCE BOTH COMPRISE THE CO2 LEVEL.
 
So if the science can be interpreted in so many ways , then surely science is faith based ?

They also don’t mention the firmament , so obviously a hoax

Except no one REALLY knows what was meant by firmament, every theory using it is educated guesswork.
 
The part of your post where you refer to the slow decline of Carbon-13.
I am assuming that you know how C13 is formed.
Yes?
No?
Why would C13 levels have declined if the exact opposite is expected to be observed?

Both C12 and C13 are stable isotopes, and are neither created nor destroyed in normal biochemical processes. The partitioning of C12 and C13 in the biosphere and atmosphere is a result of metabolic pathways in photosynthetic organisms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionation_of_carbon_isotopes_in_oxygenic_photosynthesis
Carbon on Earth naturally occurs in two stable isotopes, with 98.9% in the form of 12C and 1.1% in 13C. The ratio between these isotopes varies in biological organisms due to metabolic processes that selectively use one carbon isotope over the other, or "fractionate" carbon through kinetic or thermodynamic effects. Oxygenic photosynthesis takes place in plants and microorganisms through different chemical pathways, so various forms of organic material reflect different ratios of 13C isotopes. Understanding these variations in carbon fractionation across species is applied in isotope geochemistry and ecological isotope studies to understand biochemical processes, establish food chains, or model the carbon cycle through geological time.

If the levels of atmospheric CO2 (ie. Carbon-12) is increasing, why is the levels of Carbon-13 then not increasing?

The long answer is a bit more complex:
1. The percentage of C13 relative to C12 is very small, about 1.1%.
2. Nobody measures the absolute quantity of C13 in the atmosphere, only the ratio of C13/C12.
3. The amount of C13 does increase, but less than the rate of increase of C12.
4. The ratio of C13/C12 decreases with fossil fuel emissions.
You have to get your terminology right, and 'levels' is not meaningful with isotopes...

Nobody can deny that humans are destructive, and that they are f*cking up everything, especially nature.
They also **** each other up, and exploit each other.

Consider that Photosynthesis (literally and figuratively) "fixes" CO2 - the higher the levels of (atmospheric) CO2, the faster it is "fixed" by Photosynthesis.

Are we f*cking up the planet?
Yes.
Is our Carbon Emissions one of the ways we are doing so?
I don't think so.
I think that it is nothing other than a ploy to impose taxes/levies.
I think the whole Carbon Emissions thing is about exploiting humans.
I think its about Politics (ie. money).

It's worth pointing out that he isn't posting the actual papers by Tinsley that supposedly show this. He's posting videos from a well-known climate denial YouTube channel which is making the claims, and seemingly using Tinsley's work to justify his claims.

I'd be curious to see if any of Tinsley's actual papers make these kinds of claims and what they rest on.

Except that that presentation from Dr. Tinsely was at the conference this "youtube climate denier" (although he's never denied climate change ) put together. Tinsley was the main speaker.
Him and Tinsley have worked together. It's highly doubtful Tinsley would allow his reputation to be destroyed or work used by a "youtube climate denier" unless, of course, he agrees with it.
A "youtube climate denier" who has put out papers, together with NASA scientists, mind you.
(Off-topic: Davidson has worked with Dr. Robert Shoch as well. )


Climate predictions from the past were completely off -we're now bearing witness to those failed predictions.
Maybe it's time we try and figure out why instead of shooting down (Ie. "debunking" with flawed science) any / all real-on-the-ground science (increasingly) being put forward.
At the end of the day, the proof is in the eating of the pudding, as it were. Right now the pudding doesn't taste anything like we were told it would and people are asking why.

Did you ever respond to Potholer54's debunking of the guy whose videos you religiously post? I recall giving you the link at some point.

--EDIT: The presentation I "religiously" posted was by Brian Tinsley, the explanation-presentation afterwards was Davidson.

I did not watch it, until now. (Apologies, it got away from me and I forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder :thumbsup: )
Did a quick search on "Peter Hadfield" (and watched his "Who I am" video):
So he used to be, most notably, a BBC / CNN / reporter (with nothing to do with climate change, space weather or the sun), who eventually got a degree in geology.
A **main stream media reporter who focuses on "the accurate reading of science", but hasn't actually done any of the science or published any peer reviewed papers with on the ground scientists.
(I think I'll be sticking with the scientists doing the work -not reporters or (97% of) scientists who reference flawed [or worse, proven doctored] science.)

** From his "For the record" post in that video...:

"Sure, I'm always happy to talk to anyone. But stop foaming ***and the mouth and shouting "liar!" long enough to tell me what the errors were in my video."
*** Not a good look for a reporter, at all. (Yeah I'm being nit-picky now...but it's his job, so....)

...is a pretty good indicator of your now-typical MSM reporting, so yeah...I'd like to see his corroboration with the people doing the work -be it in the form of presentations where they are the main speakers- or
his own published peer reviewed papers. Until then I'm going to take whatever he says with a little more salt than what Tinsley (or Shoch or even Davidson) has to offer.


/video snip

Hadfield (and you -or anyone else, for that matter) should get into contact with Tinsley -I posted his details earlier in the thread.
(I wasn't joking or being snarky -or a dick- when I suggested it to Gordon earlier. I'm kinda' hoping someone will and ask him what he thinks -in layman's terms.)


I'm not interested in who is right...I'm interested in the truth.


--EDIT: I emailed Dr. Tinsley and asked him whether he's aware that his presentation (even though it was hosted by the "Observing the Frontier" conference) was used in this capacity. I also asked him whether he endorses
--Davidson's assertions that the sun is the driver behind climate change and just generally what he thinks. I'm not sure I'm going to get a response, but yeah...I tried. So let's see what happens.

No! You have to come back with what Tinsley says if he replies to you! You can't leave us all hanging in the CO2 soup (Can't call it "air" anymore seeing it is now overloaded with CO2) :unsure::laugh::eek:

Yes! I am interested in the truth not who is right.
And good for you! Looking forward to feedback from you if he replies.

I particularly agree with the "I'm not interested in who is right...I'm interested in the truth." part of your post.
This is not about who is right/wrong - it is (should be) about the truth.
