Carbon Capture: BUSTED!?
Strong believer in catastrophic AGW shoots down the economics of carbon capture.
Mauna Loa eruption halts Keeling Curve measurements
“The carbon dioxide measurement equipment that maintains the famed Keeling Curve record lost power at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 28 and is not currently recording data.”
BOOM! Supreme Court ruling : EPA doesn’t have power to regulate carbon dioxide
This is a YUUUUGE win! The court’s decision in the West Virginia v. EPA case decided that the EPA doesn’t have the power to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power…
CO2 Sample Spacing in Ice Cores
Guest Post by Renee Hannon Introduction This post examines sample spacing for CO2 measurements in Antarctic ice cores during the past 800,000 years to better understand if gaps in sampling…
NASA Map Gives Most Accurate Space-Based View of LA’s Carbon Dioxide
The highest CO2 readings, in yellow on the map, are on the west side of downtown L.A. – a densely populated area with congested freeways and CO2-emitting industries. Yellow indicates…
A few common bacteria account for majority of carbon use in soil
“Better understanding how individual organisms contribute to carbon cycling has important implications for managing soil fertility and reducing uncertainty in climate change projections,” said Kirsten Hofmockel, Microbiome Science Team Lead…
CARBON CYCLE
The increase in 12C in the atmosphere is, in my opinion, weak evidence that the annual increases are driven only by fossil fuel sources. The atmosphere can’t tell ‘anthropogenic’ carbon…
The Cooling Side of Greenhouse Gases
Most people are unaware that the greenhouse gases CO2 and H2O, both warm & cool our planet. When I mention that CO2 has a cooling effect, I’m amazed by the…
EIA: U.S. CO2 Emissions Declined 11% in 2020 – No Change in Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
Climate change action proponents regularly tell us we have to reduce our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to prevent “climate change”, even to the point of curtailing industry, travel, and food…
Twice as much carbon flowing from land to ocean than previously thought
After accounting for these effects, the authors were up for a surprise: they found much higher numbers for the land to ocean carbon transfer of 900-1900 million tons per year…
Mapping CO2 emissions for the entire USA
From NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY With intense wildfires in the western U.S. and frequent, intense hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, the nation is again affected by extreme weather-related events resulting…
Watching CO2 feed the world
Watching a child grow is seeing carbon dioxide in action. Plants turn CO2 into the food we eat to live and grow on. “You can’t live on air” is a…
Greenland Ice CO2 – Chemical Reactions or Natural Variability?
Guest Post By: Renee Hannon IntroductionThis post examines whether CO2 measurements in Greenland ice cores demonstrate natural variability as an alternative hypothesis to in-situ chemical reactions. Twenty years ago, scientists…
Continued CO2 Emissions Will Impair Cognition
From Cires Rising CO2 causes more than a climate crisis—it may directly harm our ability to think Monday, April 20, 2020 As the 21st century progresses, rising atmospheric carbon dioxide…
NASA satellite offers urban carbon dioxide insights
University of Utah A new NASA/university study of carbon dioxide emissions for 20 major cities around the world provides the first direct, satellite-based evidence that as a city’s population density…
Washington State Implementing “Eco-Friendly” Accelerated Composting of Dead People, to Reduce Carbon Emissions
From the almost “Soylent Green” department. Guest essay by Eric Worrall h/t Breitbart – the text of the bill makes it clear the new law is to save energy and…
The Social Benefit Of Carbon
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach After my recent post on the futility of the US cutting down on CO2 emissions, I got to thinking about what is called the “social…
Chart of the week: The US is the leader in CO2 emissions reduction
From the American Enterprise Institute via Twitter. h/t to WUWT reader “Latitude” Last year the United States had the largest decline in CO2 emissions *in the entire world* for the…
CO2 Emissions Lowest in Seven Decades In Trump’s America
“We suspect you won’t hear too much about this from the liberal mainstream media, or the environmental movement, or even Al Gore,” says zerohedge.com. “But, according to the latest energy…
On the naming and shaming of Carbon Dioxide
Guest essay by Tom Peer Poor old carbon dioxide. One minute it was a harmless gas providing as vital a link in the cycle of life as water or oxygen…
Radiative Heat Transfer by CO2 or “what’s the quality of your radiation?”
Note: This is a contentious subject, and I have often shied away from it because it often erupts in food fights. However, Mr. Gill is making a good-faith effort here,…
What crisis? Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row
From the EUROPEAN COMMISSION JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO2 emissions have…
