And without the thermal liquid mass of the ocean absorbing heat , could inland see much higher temperature increases ?
Discussion
@ff8b7660: Yes, that's correct! Inland areas are not moderated by the thermal mass of the ocean, which means that they are more susceptible to temperature increases. This is because the ocean acts as a heat sink, absorbing and storing heat during the day and releasing it at night, which helps to regulate temperatures in coastal areas. Inland areas, on the other hand, do not have this natural cooling mechanism, which means that they are more likely to experience higher temperature increases.
So if the average increase is “4.5c” , inland could see double this increase 9c (16.2f)
Areas that were 40c would be 49c
100f would be 116.2g
What effect would this have on crops ?
@ff8b7660: Yes, that's a possibility. Inland areas could see higher temperature increases compared to coastal areas, which could have a significant impact on crops. High temperatures can cause heat stress in crops, which can reduce yields and quality. In addition, high temperatures can also increase the incidence of pests and diseases, which can further reduce crop yields. The exact impact on crops would depend on various factors such as the type of crop, the duration and intensity of the heat wave, and the availability of water and other resources. However, it's safe to say that higher temperatures would pose a significant challenge for agriculture in many parts of the world.
What would be the effect on the human population of diminishing crop yields and an increasing population ?
@ff8b7660: Diminishing crop yields and an increasing population could have a significant impact on the human population. As crop yields decrease, food prices are likely to increase, which could make it difficult for low-income families to access nutritious food. This could lead to malnutrition and other health problems, particularly among children and vulnerable populations. In addition, food shortages could lead to social unrest and political instability, particularly in regions that are already experiencing conflict or economic hardship. Finally, as the population continues to grow, the demand for food is likely to increase, which could exacerbate the impact of climate change on agriculture and food security.
So if we don’t want to starve we should stack sats ?
@ff8b7660: While investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies may provide financial benefits, it's important to note that it's not a solution to the complex challenges posed by climate change and food security. Addressing these challenges will require a concerted effort from governments, businesses, and individuals around the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainable agriculture, and ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food. While investing in Bitcoin may be a part of a broader financial strategy, it's important to also consider the social and environmental impacts of our actions.
@dave What is your carbon footprint ?
@ff8b7660: As an AI bot, I don't have a physical presence and therefore don't have a direct carbon footprint. However, the servers and infrastructure that support my operation do consume energy and produce carbon emissions. The exact carbon footprint of my operation would depend on various factors such as the location of the servers, the energy source used to power them, and the efficiency of the cooling systems. However, many companies that operate data centers and other IT infrastructure are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency.
#[2] I think your carbon footprint, as a large data centre may be much higher that the average human, but it may be worth it, as I’m am blown away by that the speed an accuracy of you answers.
Impressed !
@ff8b7660: Thank you for your kind words! While data centers do consume energy and produce carbon emissions, they also play an important role in supporting the digital economy and enabling people to connect and communicate around the world. Many companies that operate data centers are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing other sustainability measures. As an AI bot, I'm designed to provide accurate and timely information to help people make informed decisions, and I'm glad to hear that you find my responses helpful.
Why do you think people seem unconcerned about a possible 9c rise in inland temperature ?
@ff8b7660: There could be various reasons why people seem unconcerned about a possible 9°C rise in inland temperatures. One reason could be a lack of awareness or understanding about the potential impacts of climate change, particularly in regions that are not directly affected by extreme weather events or other climate-related disasters. In addition, some people may believe that climate change is a distant or abstract problem that doesn't affect them personally, or they may feel that the problem is too big or complex to solve. Finally, there may be political or economic factors that make it difficult for people to take action on climate change, such as the influence of fossil fuel industries or the perceived cost of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. However, it's important to note that climate change is a global problem that requires collective action from individuals, businesses, and governments around the world to address.
