Something happened to him in his life I believe. He checked in and said he didn't have time for this anymore.

There was an article on this recently... How distorted maps are versus reality. The arctic is in a world of sh-t right now, but the global anomaly is still sitting around +0.5C above the 30 year moving average. That Russia cold is insane. We need that cold on top of the planet.
-
I wonder how much warmth is being released from lower in the water column.
-
What does that have to do with my comment?
-
The arctic had almost no issues until the mid to late 1990's.
-
The jaxa sea ice data doesn't show ice there, what's the conspiracy?
-
I thought sub 4.0 was a lock on jaxa. The arctic pulled a Tayshaun Prince block right at the end of the melt season.
-
Possibly the worst possible winter pattern.... Didn't it stay pretty much crap right up until May?
-
The least dangerous and most logical solution is to sequester while drawing down co2 output levels. Carbon based fuels have led to the modern world, don't expect a quick solution to energy needs. We need a combo of all 3. Reduce co2, sequester existing co2 and reverse warming in the short term with geoengineering.
-
how?
-
If we lose the icepack, I think the idea will be taken more serious. There are a number of negatives, one would be the ozone depletion and the second would be the possibility of acid rain. The fact that most industrialized nations (minus China) are reducing So2, this might be leading to more warming. Does stratosphere SO2 end up as acid rain or is that more related to surface release?
-
It needs to be looked at seriously. Right now, we barely hear anyone talking about it. I think environmentalists think it's a get of of jail free card and deniers poo-poo it, because that would mean admitted there is an issue.
-
Injecting aerosols into the stratosphere has already been tested, every time a volcano erupts. If we could knock current temps back to the 1980's levels, we could buy time and rebuild some of the icepack.

Looks bad.... My 4+ prediction, should bust. Amazing how little we hear about geoengineering or sequestration. I have to wait years for anything interesting to come across the news. I bet it could all melt out tomorrow and not another nickel would go into either of these ventures.

What made you choose Lakewood? I thought all snow weenies live on the NE side of town.
-
Is there a summarized version of the current deal?
-
Already, the ruptured storage facility has released well over the equivalent of 800,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide – about the same amount that would be generated by driving 160,000 cars for a year, according to the California Air Resources Board. I'm guilty of it as are most of you, but I'm sick of burning dead plant material and gases. Can we simply take half the military budget and divert that to solar/wind farms and end this nonsense?
-
These are probably seasonal fluctuations. Those areas don't have carbon sinks being released, unless it's forest fires.
-
Wow these colors are looking to peak soon... How high up is this? -
I'm just not seeing a big increase in ch4 from Fracking.... It's certainly not showing up in monitoring data. China and Russia just signed a big natural gas agreement, the purpose is to phase out coal. I sure hope this works, it could directly reduce co2 emissions and reduce black carbon emission.
-
It is interesting. There is actually a downward trend from 1999 till 2005.
-
Perhaps methane is the key to the puzzle and not co2.
-
There are far more concerns with coal. Mercury, acid rain and localized pollution. Most charts I see, show methane levels flattening out compared to the 1984-2000 level of rise.
-
The link doesn't work for me. I'm guessing it might show an increase in global methane concentrations paralleling the increased use of fracking?
