Perhaps the UK will have more extreme winters

'Gulf Stream shutoff could happen this century, scientists warn'

'Other scientists urged caution in interpreting the findings.'

Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: 'AMOC pushes warm water north along the Gulf Stream. As a result, England, which is at the same latitude as Canada, is much warmer.'

Maybe the Government should make the polluters pay?

'The U.K. government has in recent days hinted it may back away from some of its key climate policies — amid pressure from MPs on the right of the Conservative party.'

Just curious, what's your favorite excuse for still eating meat in 2023? It can be something you've heard, your opinion or just a thought. We're trying to debunk every nonsense out there. We're running out of time to change course on a forseeable disaster called global warming

Eunice Newton Foote's 204th Birthday

Today’s slideshow Doodle celebrates the 204th birthday of American scientist and women’s rights activist Eunice Newton Foote. Foote was the first person to discover the greenhouse effect and its role in the warming of Earth’s climate. Click through today’s Doodle to explore the process of Foote’s scientific discovery!"

TLDNR: Existing offset markets = problematic; may create incentives so carbon production📈 (recall: #carbon emissions as gases from burning/producing #FossilFuels create #GreenhouseEffect: traps heat in 🌎's atmosphere, so avg. surface temp.📈 = i.e., #GlobalWarming.)

Loss of fossil fuel assets would not impoverish general public, study finds

"The study, published in the journal Joule, found that in high-income countries two-thirds of the financial losses would be borne by the most affluent 10%. In contrast, governments could easily compensate for the minimal impact on those on middle and lower levels of wealth."

In the 80's we were taught about the greenhouse effect leading to global warming in primary and middle school in Catalonia. Indeed it's not like we haven't known for 40 years.

#ClimateChange micro-history lesson

1/6

1824 — Joseph Fourier first proposed the atmospheric #GreenhouseEffect

1856 — Eunace Newton Foote demonstrated that water vapor & CO2 each caused a warming effect in air.

1859 — John Tyndall measured the greenhouse effect of various atmospheric gases.

1896 — Svante Arrhenius made the first quantitative prediction of the warming effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 levels.

1901 — Nils Gustaf Ekholm first used the term 'greenhouse' for this effect.

Somebody more knowledgeable please check my math here...

CO2 makes up ~79% of Greenhouse gases

CH4 (methane) makes up ~11.5%

Let's round off and say 7x more CO2.

*However*, CH4 is 28x more effective greenhouse gas.

So even at our current rates, CH4 is causing 4x more damage to our climate, than CO2.

If that's correct...shouldn't we be focusing a lot harder of CH4?

And please tell me I'm not the first to notice this.

The onset of spring leads Mouf to think about mortality and also Mendel's sweet pea research as it applies to nasturtiums in this week's Bear's-Eye View.

"The artificial production of carbon dioxide and its influence on temperature"
G. S. Callendar, 1938
https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/qj.49706427503

"The temperature observations at 200 meteorological stations are used to show that world temperatures have actually increased at an average rate of 0.005C per year during the past half century."

It's been 85 years. And this was not the first report on #CO2 increasing, its #GreenHouseEffect, the impending #GlobalWarming and its consequent #ClimateChange.

So close – the Arctic has warmed up lots – yet wrong in not expecting it to do so more than other regions:

"At first sight one would expect that carbon dioxide would have far more effect upon the temperature of arctic regions where the amount of water vapour is very small; this is true as regards its effect on sky radiation, but not on temperatures, because the ratio dT/dS increases rapidly as the sky radiation approaches that from the surface. The result of these opposing changes is to make the quantitative influence of carbon dioxide on temperature remarkably uniform for the different climate zones of the earth."

And Callendar's forecast for temperature increase (0.4C for the 21st century) fell quite short of reality, as shown on the table:

Climate risks by radioactive krypton-85 from nuclear fission. Atmospheric-electrical and air-chemical effects of ionizing radiation in the atmosphere

Klimarisiken durch radioaktives Krypton-85 aus der Kernspaltung. Luftelektrische und luftchemische Wirkungen ionisierender Strahlung in der Atmosphaere

Kollert, R., 1994

Abstract: [en] The study shows that krypton-85 from nuclear fission enhances air ionization and, thus, interferes with the atmospheric-electrical system and the water balance of the earth atmosphere. This is reason for concern: There are unforeseeable effects for weather and climate if the krypton-85 content of the earth atmosphere continues to rise. There may be a krypton-specific #greenhouse effect and a collapse of the natural atmospheric-electrical field. In addition, human well-being may be expected to be impaired as a result of the diminished atmospheric-electrical field. There is also the risk of radiochemical actions and effects caused-by krypton-85-containing plumes in other air-borne pollutants like the latters' transformation to aggressive oxidants. This implies radiation smog and more acid rain in the countries exposed. This study summarizes findings gained in these issues by various sciences, analyses them and elaborates hypotheses on the actions and effects of krypton-85 on the air, the atmosphere and the climate
