Is Global Warming Really Accelerating?
Storyboard Text
- Twin with the research I've done. I'd say yea but we can look at it together.
- Say twin, is Global Warming accelerating?
- Says we can jump in and ask former NASA Scientist James Hansen ourselves.
- Bet, leh do it
- Hey Mr. Hansen, why should we believe you that climate change is accelerating?
- Well, I can't force you to believe me but I can go over the stats I've researched in the past.
- What makes your research so much better than others?
- Based on my study from 1970-2010, the world warmed at a rate of 0.18 degrees Celsius per decade, but projected that would increase to a rate of at least 0.27 degrees Celsius per decade after 2010. NOAA data shows that 0.27 degrees is the rate since September 2010.
- I wouldn't say better, but mine is proven to be more reliable.
- Past calculations were based on plant and animal fossil data, figuring microbiotic organisms wouldn’t adapt to warming, but would move to their preferred temperature range.
- Me and my team noticed that recent research shows that the organisms adapt and stay put, and when his team calculated past temperature changes based on chemical, not biological markers, it showed much faster warming for when carbon dioxide doubled in Earth’s ancient history.
- What's causing all this to happen?
- A key calculation used in figuring out how much the world will warm in response to carbon pollution shows much faster warming than the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates.
- Things like ocean shipping are the type of more traditional sooty air pollution that has a cooling effect that masks a fraction of the warming from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas.
- Pretty much
- So basically the more technology and things like ways of transport we use, is causing global warming.
