Verrry windy today at the Sporting Clay course. Humbling at times.   Can't beat it for fall time outdoor fun.

I am pondering how much different our CO2 output in the US would be whether we were in the Paris Agreement or out.

Any at all?

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/12/big-oil-execs-say-theyre-not-worried-about-bidens-energy-plan.html

In one sense, energy execs are saying they aren't worried because Reality is about to come home to roost for a Biden Administration.  In another, they are saying they have lobbyists who will work to ensure whatever is done is more for show than for go.

I imagine we'll have a push for a "Something", a throw money at it kind of "solution" that in reality does almost nothing.

I encounted some Arizona snow on my way home from Lake Powell, around the turn off for the North Rim at Jacob Lake. About 8.5k feet elevation up there.

I dunno somewhere people must be planting trees like corn and soybean.Most of the surrounding counties save parks have been gobbled up by residential and commercial development.And Ohio was almost all woods before the Europeans - damn crackers

A lot of he increase in tree coverage is because we started from such a low level, nearly everything in eastern US had been logged, and tree farms.

Even if humanity stopped emitting greenhouse gases tomorrow, Earth will warm for centuries to come and oceans will rise by metres, according to a controversial modelling study published Thursday.


Natural drivers of global warming—more heat-trapping clouds, thawing permafrost, and shrinking sea ice—already set in motion by carbon pollution will take on their own momentum, researchers from Norway reported in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.

"According to our models, humanity is beyond the point-of-no-return when it comes to halting the melting of permafrost using greenhouse gas cuts as the single tool," lead author Jorgen Randers, a professor emeritus of climate strategy at the BI Norwegian Business School, told AFP.

That is part of what I've been saying, it's too late.  And massive efforts to help mean small benefits over time.
