This article explains how catastrophic it might be if a glacier in the Antarctic breaks away:

Sea-levels could rise by up to 64 cm as a result: this glacier is made of really, really heavy ice !

anyone been to Bondi lately? Pity people don't concentrate on real threats. Surely the last 50 years of climate alarmism have demonstrated the 'experts' are clueless or dishonest. Probably about as reliable as Dan Andrews 'super computer' to lockdown 5 million people. Wake up Australia.

Regardless of the situation re climate change the the orange haired behemoth is a nihilist.
He has the same kind of morals and instincts as the legendary shifty out house rat.

I get it you do not like Trump especially because he gets so much done. Well kiddies we will have to wait till November and some of us will cry, stamp our feet and chuck a tantrum.
Personally I prefer Trump to Biden and find it strange no one ever comments on his corruption telling a country get rid of that prosecution or no loan. Backed, of course, by the the sainted one Long Tall Barry. A real couple of con-men and you whine about Trump?

These links are interesting...

I imagine as the sun burns out it's fuel there will be fluctuations in solar radiation at the Earth orbit.

However any "heated body" if it absorbs more heat/ energy than it loses it will heat up. I guess you can calculate the heat absorption by the solar radiation- you could probably calculate the radiation coming from the Earth using spectral equipment on satellites.

There seems to be some correlation between human activity and global warming.

There does however seem to be much more absorption from water vapor than CO2 looking at the absorption spectra. However the spectra tends to show the wavelength but not the intensity so well.

In the last few hundred years, industrial activity has massively expanded, and it's needed fuel to burn in order to power everything.

So, big mystery: that vast amount of fuel has created - guess what ? Heat. I'm not convinced that all, or much, of that heat has simply dissipated into the atmosphere, while the CO2 produced is the one and only villain contributing to global warming.

Is it that CO2 traps heat rather than let it dissipate ? I'm an ignoramus - obviously - on this issue, but am I onto something ?
