Is Anthropogenic Climate Change Still Debated on Science Forums?

AI Thread Summary
Anthropogenic climate change, particularly regarding the C13:C14 and C14:C12 ratios, remains a topic of discussion, with a focus on the quantification of fossil emissions over the last century. The correlation between greenhouse gas measurements and factors such as CO2 release, deforestation, and pollution has reached a significant level of statistical confidence, achieving the "five sigma" mark, which is considered a scientific gold standard, as of 2005. The inquiry into counter-arguments from objective scientists suggests a need for clear definitions of objectivity, especially in the context of climate change discussions. The ease of matching fossil emissions data with NOAA measurements indicates a robust framework for understanding anthropogenic impacts on climate.

I'm wondering if anthropogenic climate change (C13: C14 and C14:C12 ratios) is still contentious on these forums. Counting the amount of fossil emissions in the last 100 years isn't particularly difficult, and matching the curve with NOAA measurements seems trivial, so I'm wondering what kind of counter-argument objective scientists use these days (if any).

Please only post if you have peer-reviewed scientific data to back up your argument. Thanks.

Objectively, you'd have to define "objective" somewhat outside its usual definition : something like standing with eyes clenched shut, fingers in ears, loudly yelling "LALALALALLALA" while somebody's trying to talk to you.

The correlation between GHG measurement and CO2 release / deforestation / pollution hit the "five sigma" mark (scientific gold standard) in 2005.

Thread 'Landslide, tsunami, seiche in Tracy Arm fjord, Alaska - 10 August 2025'

On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
