This bloke's tweets are a breath fresh air (pardon the pun). And he provides evidence and responds to just about every comment from climate change nuffies.
This blokes claim to fame is that he played drums for ACDC for less than a year.
Which shows, because anyone without drug fried brains should be able to read the article and understand that it doesn't say what he thinks it says.
Firstly, the article doesn't say, "leaf litter contributes 90% of yearly volume of carbon". The article says, " the natural decay of organic carbon contributes more than 90 percent of the yearly carbon dioxide released into Earth’s atmosphere and oceans"
Major difference. Natural decay of organic carbon includes leaf decay, trees dying, trees burning due to naturally started forest fires, organic see life dying and decaying (over 70% of that natural organic carbon release), and many other factors. Leaves are just part of it.
Secondly, natural organic carbon delay is part of the carbon cycle and is counted. The sun effects the climate more than natural carbon decay, and that is also counted. It's the things that aren't part of the natural carbon cycle that are a problem.
During the natural climate carbon cycle, trees die. Leaves decay. This releases carbon into the atmosphere. Then that same carbon is absorbed by trees and other plant based organic life. Then when that plant base life dies it releases it again, then the new plants absorb it. It's a cycle.
But then we add to it by digging up carbon that has been trapped for millions of years and we release that carbon. This isn't part of the carbon cycle and it's cumulative. Think of it like a glass of water. You get a glass of water that's 70% full, and you pour some into another glass that's empty. Now you have one glass that's 30% full and the other glass holds the other 40%. Then you pour that 40% back into the original glass and once again the glass is 70% full. You keep doing this, and it's fine. But you're doing it outside, and someone turned on the sprinklers. Now your glass that was 70% full has gone to 80%, 90%, 100%, overflowing. All because an outside force started messing with your cycle.
That's the basics of climate change and the human impact on the carbon cycle. They have been teaching this stuff in schools for the last 10 years. They have been teaching greenhouse gases in school for the last 50 years. But still we get ex-ACDC drummers on Twitter that think they have uncovered some amazing secret that the scientists don't understand. In reality, the bloke probably got straight F's in science and doesn't understand basic logic. I mean, it takes 2 seconds looking through his posts to see that he's pushing stuff that has been debunked so many times.
