Think of the earth like a tree. You can tell how old the tree and what years it had lots of water and what years were droughts by its rings
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
And so we know about the earth's history through the layering that happens with glaciers and fossils:

Glacial ice and glacial air, for one. Somehow they can tell from fossils as well.

There are several ways. Looking at ice cores is one way. It was mentioned in comments above better than I can explain it.

glaciers, tree rings and sediment/core samples...they often use isotope ratios to determine CO2 concentrations, etc.

Exactly if your doctor says something about medicine you just have to trust them. There's no point trying to be an armchair expert.

Eh. As a doctor, you should still try to know as much as possible. Figure approximately 5% of people in any given field are incompetent.
16and0bears
Thats why you ask for second opinions. Sife note, that 3% of scientists disagree with gw is kinda close to your hypothesis

panzersharkcat
TL;DR of the link - There is a consensus that humans are causing at least some of the warming but not as much on solutions.
kayosiii
It comes from a few places but the best resourced was a study of nearly 12,000 published papers.
kayosiii
First the abstracts were read and sorted into, pro AGW, anti and lists no position.
kayosiii
Secondly they contacted the authors who's papers didn't list a position.
kayosiii
after removing the papers which did not list a position in the abstract and who's authors did not reply to state their position.
kayosiii
97 percent of the remaining supported the position that AGW was a real problem.

As @WeatherWeaver said, those are geologic eras, i.e. ice ages and interglacial periods. For lots of info, see https://youtu.be/52KLGqDSAjo

The long time-scale cycles (~125kyr) are matched to the glaciation cycles, which in turn are caused by complex positive and negative 1/2
DavidBrooker
(Longer, million-to-billion year variation has more to do with Earth's geology than surface effects, and is mostly downwards)
ColonelBatGuano
After the cyclical CO2 spike some negative feedback kicks in and drives down Atm CO2 and temps into ice ages - what is that mechanism?
DavidBrooker
I'm not a climate scientist, so I'm sure someone else could answer better. However, water is a major GHG and having a lot of it trapped 1/2

in ice and the resulting aridity is one major negative feedback, as are lower sea levels. 2/2
gwenniechan
The Sun's intensity cycles cause the climate to heat and cool, buffered by the greenhouse effect and volcanic effects. When the earth
gwenniechan
starts to cool down, slowly the carbon starts to be reabsorbed by the oceans. The cooler temperatures increase ice increasing the reflection

of heat. That's long-term. In the short-term, increased CO2 in the atmosphere causes plants to grow bigger and faster (with a constant solar

I remember reading that cows are pretty big polluters
androidd2000
I think they belch methane as they eat (produced by bacteria in their 4 stomachs). And methane more globally warming than CO2?
Klisteration
not belch, it's the other end. 23 % of the world's methane emissions.
androidd2000
Check my source. Cows regurgitate and re chew their food several times. Belching as they do. And fart too. But CH4 mainly by belching!
RetConMan
My nearly-uneducated guess is a natural temperature cycle which affects the amount of plant life(esp. algae) processing CO2.
reverendbonobo

Davidtakethatoutofyourmouthrightnowyoungman
Brooker's got it. Generally, we lump it into a term called "orbital cycles". The shape of the earth's orbit has a ~100k period.
WeatherWeaver
Those are too long to be seasonal fluctuations (check out the Mauna Loa observatory graphs for that), it's most likely ice ages. 1/?

More ice on land slows the carbon cycle, and colder oceans take up more CO2 from the atmosphere. 2/2

Worth mentioning that the people who argue 'everyone likes a warmer climate' don't realize that rapid warming leads to cooling, as ice caps

conditions. All this warming will lead to freezing. As in ice age

It's a slander tactic by attaching the topic to something that's generally hated to get people against it.

Remember ted cruz calling net neutrality "obamacarr for the internet?"
eyelessgame
Its the omni-use term conservatives use for liberals because they think it's insulting. Update of "pinko". Proof that the user is an idiot.

Forgot the most important part. Its not caused from driving giant gas guzzling cars, its caused by people farts and people food farts. Farts
mrmartini
Just since the Industrial Revolution? We just starting shitting ourselves a lot more, conveniently when all these machines came about?
ireadthatassomethingelse
Nope, we just stopped dying so much and consuming more. Population increase and food consumption increase. Our food farts too.

Oh ok, I thought you were being facetious. But um ... ok.

Wtf does climate change have to do with SJWs?
VoltageXL1
Hes trying to appeal to his audience, and ofc theyre too dumb to disagree.
PurityOfEssence
it's the new term for someone you don't agree with
Groznek
It's basically become "deriding online slactivists" to "literally anyone with a more liberal view of something than me".

Just to say, 97% is a misleading statistic. The study took 11k studies on climate, and of them 34% took a stance on AGW
catsandcheetos
True but you also have to note that a lot of the time scientists won't take stances on controversial topics - just present the evidence they
catsandcheetos
gathered. The paper the 97% statistic came from (Cook et al 2016) also polled the authors for their stances and came up with 97%. Also note
catsandcheetos
that the statistic is based only off of publishing CLIMATE CHANGE scientists, not all scientists. Which is where people citing this
catsandcheetos
statistic often get it wrong
bejayjay
Well said. And it is an exceptionally strong consensus. I think our points are circling the issue of science communication and how loosely

I wanted to edit my first comment because I meant the way the general populous cites this is oversimplified. John Oliver did it right. 1/2
bejayjay
2/2 president Obama did not. I think accurately explaining 'facts' is very important when claiming fact.
[deleted]
[deleted]
bejayjay
Exactly.
bejayjay
(Anthropogenic Climate Change). 33% concluded it is indeed caused by humans. 33/34 gives you 97%.
bejayjay
Edit: I wrote AGW and then mistakenly expanded ACC. GW is global warming. My bad.
bejayjay
This is a much clearer representation of what '97%' really means: https://skepticalscience.com/97-percent-consensus-cook-et-al-2013.html
JJWoodSculpture
The next question is how many deliberately took no stance because bucking the consensus would be career suicide.
wasthisreallyneccessary
I will never get how people look at a word that describes someone who fights for social justice and say it's an insult.
Vundergluber
Because the whole concept of "social justice" is itself horeshit!
AVoiceOfReason
SJW doesn't mean someone who's just "for social justice." The "warrior" bit is the key word here - it's an excessive obsession with (1)
AVoiceOfReason
political correctness to the point of absurdity, where you want to silence, censor, attack, harass, or pester others over it. You can (2)
AVoiceOfReason
be entirely convinced that you're in the right, when in reality you're the real douchebag in a scenario.
Rapiecage
Because it's irony and hyperbole.
CyborgScribe
Not always. Here in the west we don't really "fight" for social justice nowdays but people have. Fought and died.
Rapiecage
yeah. Exactly. And we compare the people who bitch about "meanspeading" to that for mockery
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Same way feminists got a bad reputation: idiots claiming to be one and spreading bullshit that had nothing to do with the original idea.
RedDwarfIV
More along the lines of radfems gathering in academia, then teaching a generation of students their beliefs.
SpankyJoe
More like: assholes finding one idiot and using them as a strawman to spread bullshit about the whole movement.
NonCertifiedDoctor
Its not "one" idiot sadly. Theres a stigma for a reason.
SpankyJoe
They're still a fringe the vast majority of the movements disaprove of.
EricFromAccounts
Well, neither are great. Think it's one o' them, "vicious cycle" type o' deals you got there.
SpankyJoe
Oh don't get me wrong: the former suck. The latter are just way more common.
PeanutBetter69
Well, the inherent collectivist mindset needed for social justice can be a point of contention.
pothocket
The internet becomes a lot more fun after using a word filter extension in browser to replace 'sjw' with 'skeleton'. Highly recommended.
Schmuck4hire
I think it was intended to have been an ironic kind of name. Like the origin of "Nimrod". Now though, it's just ironic to use it.
Banzaibill
Because they are extremists. Bigoted, racist, sexist extremists. SJW prove that the political horseshoe is real with their insanity.
Tyrannotron
The hypocrisy being that he's absolutely an SJW as well. He just has a different opinion on what is socially just.
LiterallyWorseThanHitler
Among more sensible people than the one using it in the post, it has come to mean the people who think white men are literally hitler
dootdootbop
But those people are basically nonexistent
HandsomeJackBlack
The question was how did it come to have negative connotations? Fighting for social justice sounds like a good thing but now it's used to 1/
LiterallyWorseThanHitler
Because those extremists call themselves social justice warriors, simple as that.
HandsomeJackBlack
Do they? I've never seen any say that aside from ironically after being labelled as such
HandsomeJackBlack
describe extremists and slacktivists
jlworld
And those people are irrational and also a tiny minority, best to be ignored.
