CLIMATE SCIENCE ISN’T A RELIGION. IT’S PHYSICS. 🌎
Weather too hot? Weather too cold? Too much rain? Drought?
Climate deniers love to ridicule the science while ignoring the physics. But climate science isn’t about blaming every weather event on global warming. It’s about understanding the measurable physical processes connecting Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, ice, and ecosystems.
📊 10 FRAMES. FOLLOW THE PHYSICS. TEST THE CLAIMS.
This slideshow breaks down the science:
🌍 Human CO₂ emissions and rising atmospheric concentrations.
🔥 Greenhouse forcing and Earth’s growing energy imbalance.
🌊 Ocean warming, melting ice, and changing circulation.
🌀 Interconnected climate feedbacks that can amplify change.
🔬 Atmospheric carbon-14 and the physics of CO₂ radiative forcing.
🦋 The butterfly effect: how changes in interconnected systems can propagate far beyond their origin.
Natural variability is real. Climate has changed throughout Earth’s history. Neither fact explains away the measurable human contribution to today’s global warming.
The challenge to climate deniers is simple: If you dispute the science, engage with the evidence. Explain the physical mechanisms. Quantify your alternative explanation. Show your work.
Laughing emojis aren’t scientific evidence. Neither are unsupported claims about research funding.
CLAIMS AREN’T EVIDENCE. FOLLOW THE DATA.
MILLIONS → BILLIONS → TRILLIONS OF POSSIBLE FEEDBACK INTERACTIONS.
Feedback coupling is emerging. Understanding how these connections develop, interact, and amplify change is one of the major challenges in climate science.
