CO2 Emissions Hit Record High in 2021
Although a large rise was inevitable following the lockdowns of 2020, the significant fact is that emissions are higher than in 2019. Given that the global economy still has not…
How Much Manmade CO2 is in the Atmosphere, Really?
Our results show that the percentage of the total CO2 due to the use of fossil fuels from 1750 to 2018 increased from 0% in 1750 to 12% in 2018, much…
Fossil Fuel Generation Outpaces Renewables in 2021 – IEA
While Fatih Birol whistles in the dark, the fine words at COP26 hit the wall of reality.
Finally, New York State Tells The World How To Achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions
New York may be a late-comer to Net Zero plans, but by God, our politicians and bureaucrats are so much smarter than those clowns across the country or the pond.…
Global Human CO2 Emissions Have Been On A Slightly Declining Trend Since 2011
So we have (a) flat to declining trends in annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions in the last decade, (b) many times smaller annual CO2 emissions fluxes from anthropogenic sources relative to…
Tech Companies Underreport CO2 Emissions
“The often unsystematic and inaccurate reporting of companies’ carbon footprints is a problem for policymakers, stakeholders and the companies themselves,” says Lena Klaaßen. “The lack of transparency makes it difficult…
Emission Reductions From Pandemic Had Unexpected Effects on Atmosphere
Earth’s atmosphere reacted in surprising ways to the lowering of emissions during the pandemic, showing how closely climate warming and air pollution are linked.
Dr Roger Pielke, Jr -What does IPCC AR6 say on Scenarios and Extreme Weather?
. It is very appealing, even seductive, for activists and the media to latch on to extreme events (as inaccurately summarized in the SPM), but at some point we have…
Human behavior sabotages CO2-reducing strategies
“But when you talk about structural change, people are just thinking, ‘that will destroy our way of life.’ But if we don’t solve that problem today, the environment will change…
China To Build 43 New Coal-Fired Power Plants
The report reckons that these new coal plants and blast furnaces will add 150 million tonnes to China’s CO2 emissions. This is roughly half the UK’s total emissions.
California’s carbon mitigation efforts may be thwarted by climate change itself
In a paper published today in the American Geophysical Union journal AGU Advances, the UCI Earth system scientists stressed that rising temperatures and uncertain precipitation will cause a decrease in California’s…
China’s carbon-monitoring satellite reports global carbon net of six gigatons
About six gigatons — roughly 12 times the mass of all living humans — of carbon appears to be emitted over land every year, according to data from the Chinese…
‘One of the most damaging invasive species on Earth’: wild pigs release the same emissions as 1 million cars each year
Whether you call them feral pigs, boar, swine, hogs, or even razorbacks, wild pigs are one of the most damaging invasive species on Earth, and they’re notorious for damaging agriculture…
Global Man-made CO2 emissions 1965 – 2020: BP data
Although they hesitated for a moment as a result of COVID, it is clear that CO2 emissions are continuing to grow in the Developing World and they can expected to…
Contribution Of Anthropogenic CO2 Emissions To Changes In Atmospheric Concentrations
There is no question that anthropogenic CO2 is being absorbed in the atmosphere. However, there is no obvious evidence to support the claim that it is totally responsible for the…
Projecting manmade climate change: scenarios to 2050
Climate impact assessments are being biased in an alarming direction by continued inclusion, and especially sole reliance, on RCP8.5. For climate change to 2050, RCP4.5 and RCP6.0 are the most…
Biden’s U.S. Emissions Reduction Scheme Repeats Past Failures That Promote More Global Emissions Increases
Guest essay by Larry Hamlin Biden and the Democrats U.S. 50% emissions reduction by year 2030 pipe dream scheme will simply lead to the same failed future emissions outcomes that…
Huge change in Biden’s April 28 speech – U.S. emission reductions “don’t matter.”
It was most appropriate of Biden to inject some “truth” into his speech by acknowledging the complete futility of his scheme mandating the U.S. to undertake costly and ineffective efforts…
Ever Deeper And Deeper Into “Climate” Fantasy
It never ceases to amaze me how the very mention of the word “climate” causes people to lose all touch with their rational faculties. And of course I’m not talking…
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…
Cascading COVID-style lockdown: Only way to save the planet!
Guest “we had to destroy village in order to save it” by David Middleton Equivalent of Covid emissions drop needed every two years – studyEquivalent falls in emissions over a…
John Kerry Disappointed Australia Wants to Keep Exporting Coal
What a shocker – Australia is not rushing to meet John Kerry’s request to give up one of our main export industries on the timeframe of Kerry’s choosing.
Pressure Grows For Meaningful US Emission Cuts
It is not widely understood how little Obama actually committed to in Paris, with a 26-28% cut from 2005 emissions by 2025. This compares to the UK’s pledge to cut…
