hmmm. seems like that notion applies to Science as well..
since Science is the art of proving the previous Scientific Facts Wrong..

I first noticed this when reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy:the mathematician Hari Seldon spends his life developing a theory of psychohistory, a new and effective mathematical sociology. Using statistical laws of mass action, it can predict the future of large populations.
The Mule was a powerful mentalic mutant, warlord, and conqueror who posed the greatest threat to the Seldon Plan. His acute telepathic ability to modify the emotions of human beings derailed one of the basic assumptions of Hari Seldon's psychohistory - that, in general, the responses of human populations to given stimuli will remain the same.

Here is the chemical equation for burning of octane, one main component of gasoline: 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 --> 18 H2O + 16 CO2. Note that for 2 units (moles) of octane burned, 16 units (moles) of CO2 are released. How many tons of CO2 are released in the atmosphere daily? That value is easily found online. Greenhouse gases released by man's activity has a direct mechanism causing temperature in the earth's atmosphere to increase.
Presently, oceans are CO 2 sinks, and represent the largest active carbon sink on Earth, absorbing more than a quarter of the carbon dioxide that humans put into the air.

t varies from tree to tree but a single tree can absorb as much as 48 lbs (21.77 kgs) of Co2 per year.
The average American produces about 19.78 metric tonnes (21.8 tons) of CO2 emissions each year. This means it would take 909 trees to absorb the CO2 your average american produces each year.

Again, noMADp offers another weak attempt at debate and refutation. You JUS proved that you cannot evaluate a debate, not can you engage in a serious debate You are weak, feeble, and inferior, noMADp.
Thanks for not conversing with me, noMADp. I am having fun.
jusplay4fun wrote:You have no idea how to debate; you merely engage in sophistry. Thus you cannot evaluate anyone's skills to argue, much less debate. Oh, thanks for not conversing with me, noMADp.
Also, I added cool emojis such for noMADp to better understand, since he has trouble with words and subtleties.

Note it doesn't have to be "true." Flat Earth books, Scientology, and even the Bible qualify under the above definition. They are all opinions and conjectures.

I wouldn't put the bible in the same category as "science" (which isn't a category; physics, chemistry are categories) as it more like philosophy.

jusplay4fun wrote:Is my 12 hour comment true for ALL cases of MADp comments? IDK and I don't care.
My comment on 12 hours is a generalization and not a case by case analysis. Why would I waste my time on such minutia? I leave that to minutia muster, MADp.
But consider what happens when more CO2 is released from outside of the natural carbon cycle – by burning fossil fuels. Although our output of 29 gigatons of CO2 is tiny compared to the 750 gigatons moving through the carbon cycle each year, it adds up because the land and ocean cannot absorb all of the extra CO2. About 40% of this additional CO2 is absorbed. The rest remains in the atmosphere, and as a consequence, atmospheric CO2 is at its highest level in 15 to 20 million years (Tripati 2009). (A natural change of 100ppm normally takes 5,000 to 20,000 years. The recent increase of 100ppm has taken just 120 years).
Human CO2 emissions upset the natural balance of the carbon cycle. Man-made CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by a third since the pre-industrial era, creating an artificial forcing of global temperatures which is warming the planet. While fossil-fuel derived CO2 is a very small component of the global carbon cycle, the extra CO2 is cumulative because the natural carbon exchange cannot absorb all the additional CO2.
The level of atmospheric CO2 is building up, the additional CO2 is being produced by burning fossil fuels, and that build up is accelerating.

the Sociopath realizes he just got called out..
he tried to make a claim I would do something. then did it himself. then back tracks on his own statement entailing it doesn't matter.. & he doesn't care..
even though he made a point to write the statement in the first place with Capitalized Bold words originally for emphasis..

There is an old saying, there are lies, damn lies and statistics. There is plenty of evidence all right, but that doesn't mean you can cherry pick the ones you want and reject the ones you don't. And once you present those facts (even when cherry picked) how to they reach the conclusions you want given the fact that the bulk of CO2 emissions still comes from China's energy generation through dirty coal.jusplay4fun wrote:2) A little Chemistry: All this burning does what? release huge amounts of carbon dioxide, CO2.

Golf clap. Did you factor CO2 absorption by the oceans, leading to acidification and deaths of coral reefs?

This is actually FAKE NEWS. Now let's consider the humble tree. How Much CO2 Does A Tree Absorb Each Yeart varies from tree to tree but a single tree can absorb as much as 48 lbs (21.77 kgs) of Co2 per year.

I will clearly agree that the industrial farms of animals is a problem, but in more than just the methane emissions.jusplay4fun wrote:5) A decrease in the amount of algae in the oceans does not help, either.
Actually see my point about CO2 in the oceans. It's a much bigger problem than deforestation.

But few people mention that, unless you were a Seaquest DSV fan, a vegan, or A.O.C.
So now we have a bunch of wonderful pieces of evidence. But what does it point to? Apart from the Eugenic option of kill all humans, what options have been proposed that actually have an impact on the facts presented as such? (Given that no plan even starts to address the biggest CO2 producers on the planet.)
And then once we have everything worked out, what's to stop the Mule from changing everything?
