Show me science CO2 is the cause?
You just read it somewhere.
CO2 does not cause oceans to heat. It “back radiates” UV that is given off from land. (Supposedly)
That is the hypothesis.
There are 2 things. Science and alarmism. Don’t conflate the two.
Alarmism wants net zero which will accomplish nothing and cost trillions.
(No one knows how much it will cost BUT the alarmists want net zero which means renewables replacing Natty gas and coal.
1. They are not even 1/3 the way there
2. The goal is to replace our current demand BUT Ai will demand 400% more than we use now.
7.5 billion for fast charges across the countries highways. The number of chargers escapes me but it comes to 15,000 per charger. (1 fast charger costs 100,000 installed )… math doesn’t work but someone will cash the 7.5 billion check.
Climate defined as 30 plus years of weather traits for an area. Ex. San Diego is Mediterranean climate.
Name 1 place where the climate has changed?
Holy shit, of COURSE I read it somewhere. How the hell do you think people learn shit?? The things you post, you probably read somewhere, although I'd be wary of those sources - since they're wrong
There are many
effects of climate change on oceans. One of the main ones is an increase in
ocean temperatures. More frequent
marine heatwaves are linked to this. The rising temperature contributes to a
rise in sea levels due to melting
ice sheets. Other effects on
oceans include
sea ice decline, reducing
pH values and
oxygen levels, as well as increased
ocean stratification. All this can lead to changes of
ocean currents, for example a weakening of the
Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).
[2] The main root cause of these changes are the
emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities, mainly burning of
fossil fuels.
Carbon dioxide and
methane are examples of greenhouse gases. The additional
greenhouse effect leads to
ocean warming because the ocean takes up most of the additional heat in the
climate system.
[3] The ocean also absorbs some of the extra
carbon dioxide that is in the atmosphere. This causes the
pH value of the seawater to drop.
[4] Scientists estimate that the ocean absorbs about 25% of all human-caused CO2 emissions.

Ninety percent of global warming is occurring in the ocean, causing the water’s internal heat to increase since modern recordkeeping began in 1955, as shown in the upper chart. (The shaded blue region indicates the 95% margin of uncertainty.) This chart shows annual estimates for the first 2,000 meters of ocean depth.
Each data point in the upper chart represents a five-year average. For example, the 2021 value represents the average change in ocean heat content (since 1955) for the years 2019 up to and including 2023.
The lower chart tracks monthly changes in ocean heat content for the entire water column (from the top to the bottom of the ocean) from 1992 to 2023, integrating observations from satellites, in-water instruments, and computer models. Both charts are expressed in
zettajoules.
Heat stored in the ocean causes its water to expand, which is responsible for one-third to one-half of global sea level rise. Most of the added energy is stored at the surface, at a depth of zero to 700 meters. The last 10 years were the ocean’s warmest decade since at least the 1800s. The year 2023 was the ocean’s warmest recorded year.

Oceans, covering more than 70% of Earth’s surface, play a vital role in regulating the climate by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide. Now research shows oceans have warmed by more than 1.5 °C since the beginning of the industrial era, challenging previous estimates and emphasizing the urgency of global action.

Name 1 place where the climate has changed?
Changing. It's in the process of changing.
Takeaways The rate of change since the mid-20th century is unprecedented over millennia. Earth’s climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 800,000 years, there have been eight cycles of ice ages and warmer periods, with the end of the last ice age about 11,700 years ago marking...

The current warming trend is different because it is clearly the result of human activities since the mid-1800s, and is proceeding at a rate not seen over many recent millennia.
1 It is undeniable that human activities have produced the atmospheric gases that have trapped more of the Sun’s energy in the Earth system. This extra energy has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land, and widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere have occurred.
Do scientists agree on climate change?
Earth-orbiting satellites and new technologies have helped scientists see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate all over the world. These data, collected over many years, reveal the signs and patterns of a changing climate.
Scientists demonstrated the heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases in the mid-19th century.
2 Many of the science instruments NASA uses to study our climate focus on how these gases affect the movement of infrared radiation through the atmosphere. From the measured impacts of increases in these gases, there is no question that increased greenhouse gas levels warm Earth in response.
