We know Climate Change IS accelerating.
However, Changes in the Sun's output are NOT accelerating. Changes in human greenhouse gas outputs are NOT accelerating. Rate increases are steady with a slight deceleration due to Kyoto.
The only planetary change concomitant to climate change is human migration to coastal areas. And the key environmental change associated with this is WASTEWATER egress into coastal seas.
Not only do people underestimate the amount of wastewater egress across the planet, they also underestimate the energy channelling effect wastewaters have on heat redistrubution from deserts and tropical seas. This effect is similar to small current diffusions in transistors which can switch large load currents on and off. Similarly, accelerated human wastewater egress, a small thermodynamic high entropy diffusion, attracts huge low entropy heat loads from tropical oceans (cyclonic activity) and deserts (drought). This is the second law of thermodynamics(2LT) at work. It IS climate change and there is a 1:1 correspondence with human migration patterns.
In order to decelerate climate changes you need to reduce human wastewaters flushed into seas, or reduce coastal migration.
OR, you could cut the Sun's output by 10%.
OR, you could stop the use of all fossil fuels and wipe out mankind in internecine fights over remaining resources, especially oil. That will do it nicely.
As a stakeholder, naturally I want wastewater egress reduced, employing thousands of Engineered wetlands in STRATEGIC GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS (saddle points) across Australia and the entire planet. I also want climate scientists to be forced to do competency tests in Thermodynamics (especially Statistical Thermodynamics) before being allowed to publish professional opinions that affect the future of OUR world.
The main breed of scientist to blame for the current lack of progress on climate change are biologists. They are trained in observing and theorising dynamics of ecosystems. They just don't understand that you CAN NOT theorise about dynamics until you have a proper understanding of the ENERGY flows involved and in particular the thermodynamic constraints that are in operation. Current global warming blatherings by groups of scientists of this ilk, are FISHY and INCOMPETENT.
