The IPCC (UN Climate Change committee of scientists) and other climate groups have put out reports with dire warning about the climate crisis. They are demanding that the world shift from fossil fuels to clean energy and for ALL industry to shift. Well some people believe that is perfectly reasonable and a good plan. How …
The UN Emissions Gap Report shows that global emissions have reached another record high level of 53.5 billion tons of CO2 equivalent. Only 57 countries (representing 60 percent of global emissions) are on track to reach a peak in emissions by 2030. The Paris Agreement had the goal of keeping World temperatures at less than …
Professor Valentina Zharkova gave a presentation of her Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field hypothesis at the Global Warming Policy Foundation in October, 2018. Zharkova models solar sunspot and magnetic activity. Her models have run at a 93% accuracy and her findings suggest a Super Grand Solar Minimum could begin in 2020. A Super Grand …
In NY Mag, a climate journalist David Wallace-Wells wrote about a study of the difference between 1.5 degrees of warming and two degrees. He cited a Nature climate change paper – Quantified, localized health benefits of accelerated carbon dioxide emissions reductions 150 million more people would die from air pollution alone in a two-degree-warmer world …
Cumulative CO2 emissions from 2015 onwards may not exceed 424 billion tons of carbon and that the point of no return (PNR) is 2035 for the policy scenario where the share of renewable and nuclear energy rises by 2% per year. If the risk tolerance is 67% chance of exceeding the-2 degree increase. If renewables …
Below is chart of world CO2 emissions needed to maintain various temperatures. The RCP2.6 is the world CO2 diet for definitely staying below 2 degrees celsius of warming and having a shot at 1 degree warming. It mostly requires getting to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and then going about 20 billion tons per …
Johan Rockström made big predictions of 9 environmental systems that would each reach tipping points and doom humanity. Now Johan Rockström has co-written a paper that predicts climate doom caused by an environmental global warming chain reaction. The claim is that big changes are needed within 10-20 years or the world will pass tipping points. …
Bill Gates and Richard Branson have invested in lab-grown meat companies. Beef production is very inefficient. It takes more than 38 pounds of feed and 1799 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef. Lab-grown meat requires 100 times less land and 5.5 times less water than traditional meat. Foie gras currently costs $50 …
Lab-grown meat products will be offered in a number of restaurants in the United States and Asia, starting with chicken nuggets, sausage and foie gras. There will be factory produced meat on store shelves by 2021. Initially a lab-grown burger will sell for about $11. CDC reports that each year, 48 million people get sick …
Errors in how scientists account for water loss from leaves may be skewing estimates of how much energy plants make through photosynthesis and cause errors in the models of how individual leaves function and even of the global climate. The errors are particularly pronounced when a plant’s water supply is limited — a condition of …
In May 2017, the world atmosphere has been measured at 409.25 ppm CO2. There have been some measurements in Hawaii of 411 ppm. The levels rose from 407.42 ppm in April 2016. For the odds to be greater than 66 per cent probability of less than 2 degrees of warming, the CO2-e concentrations should be …
