ie, we only need to reduce our emissions by 48% to achieve net zero and we’ll need to increase emissions to sustain current concentrations thereafter.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

Homeopathic medicine = the principles the IPCC's TCRE & RCB (homeopathic climatology) applied to medicine. TCRE & RCB are based on "CO2 memory." They hold that CO2's warming effect continues undimished even after its removal from the air. Homeopathic medicine is based on "water memory." It holds that the mere memory of a substance formerly dissolved in water causes the water to still have therapeutic effect, even after it's been diluted so much that there's not a single molecule of the therapeutic agent remaining in the water. Unfortunately, both branches of homeopathy are highly influential. King Charles has appointed a homeopath as head of the Royal Medical Household, and homeopathic climatology is the basis for the "net zero" campaign. The atmospheric CO2 level is currently rising because mankind is currently adding CO2 faster than nature is removing it. Mankind is adding CO2 to the atmosphere: currently 5.2 ±0.8 ppmv/year (mostly from fossil fuels). Nature is removing CO2 from the atmosphere: currently 2.7±0.9 ppmv/year (and that rate increases sharply as the CO2 level rises). Since 2.7 > 5.2, the amount of CO2 in the air is currently rising, at a measured rate of 2.5 ±0.1 ppmv/year. https://sealevel.info/co2.html Note the large and growing scale of natural CO2 removal processes! But the IPCC's TCRE & RCB, and the "net zero" campaign, assume that that doesn't matter. They claim that what matters is the total amount of CO2 which humans have ever produced, rather than the (much smaller) amount which remains in the air. If our CO2 emissions were merely reduced to less than the natural CO2 removal rate (not to zero!), the CO2 level in the atmosphere would be falling, rather than rising. So the (modest, benign) effect of elevated CO2 on temperatures would be decreasing. Yet the climate industry and IPCC insist that CO2 will continue to cause temperatures to rise until our emissions are reduced to zero. Homeopathy is not just the air guitar of medicine, it is also the air guitar of climatology. https://sealevel.info/AR6_WG1_TS3.2.1_TCRE_definition2.png

Video Transcript AI Summary

There's some unequivocal pseudoscientific disciplines that are regulated. For example, the practice of homeopathy is regulated in Ontario, where I am, so it's a legally protected title. The speaker says, "To me, that blows my mind because I don't know what's worse. A grifter with no license and no accountability or a grifter with a license and feigned accountability." The moment is framed as a contrast between licensure and feigned accountability. The segment ends with, "Yeah. That's funny. Wow." These observations highlight the tension between regulation and skepticism toward pseudosciences. The speaker's comparison of license with accountability versus lack of accountability conveys a critical stance without endorsing any conclusion.

The FDA is hindering Americans from accessing effective sunscreens, with no new ingredient approved since 1999. This outdated regulation contrasts sharply with international products that offer advanced protection against skin damage and cancer. The lengthy approval process, rooted in a 1938 law, creates a disparity where only the wealthy can afford superior options abroad. The ongoing delays mean more preventable cancer cases, and the true impact of these bureaucratic barriers remains unknown. The system prioritizes procedure over public health, leaving many vulnerable.

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

The FDA is literally preventing Americans from protecting themselves from cancer. While people in the US burn with decades-old sunscreen formulas, Europeans and Australians enjoy superior protection that the American government won't let its citizens buy. The bureaucracy is so broken that one company has spent 20 years and $18 million trying to get FDA approval for a single sunscreen ingredient. 🧵

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

The FDA hasn't approved a new sunscreen ingredient since 1999. Let that sink in. Your smartphone has been updated thousands of times since then, but your cancer protection is stuck in the Clinton administration. Meanwhile, dermatologists routinely recommend sunscreens from Australia, Europe, and Asia that Americans can't legally access.

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

International sunscreens contain newer UVA filters like bemotrizinol that offer stronger, broader protection. US sunscreens focus mainly on preventing sunburn but provide weaker coverage against the deeper skin damage that causes cancer and aging. Europeans got bemotrizinol in 2000. Australians in 2004. Even Canadians got it in 2023.

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

Why the delay? Because a 1938 law classifies sunscreen as an over-the-counter drug requiring lengthy clinical trials, while most countries treat it as a cosmetic product. Think about this: you can walk into any store and buy ibuprofen, which can cause stomach ulcers, kidney damage, and heart problems. But sunscreen gets stuck in an 86-year-old regulatory framework that nobody bothered to update.

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

The absurdity gets worse. Americans literally stock up on superior sunscreens when traveling abroad because they know the difference. But not everyone can afford international travel to protect their family from cancer. The FDA is creating a two-tiered system: good protection for the wealthy, inferior protection for everyone else.

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

This is "drug lag" in action, the additional time FDA requirements force consumers to wait before accessing better products. As @dr4liberty noticed in his article published by CATO Institute (https://www.cato.org/blog/bureaucratic-sunburn-what-fda-wont-let-you-prevent): "Drug lag is cruelest to terminally ill patients, to whom it denies the right to try to save their lives by using drugs that have already been proven safe but are awaiting efficacy approval. Many seriously ill Americans die waiting for the FDA to approve drugs that regulators in other countries have already approved." People are literally dying waiting for treatments available elsewhere.

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

Even if bemotrizinol gets approved tomorrow, there are several other proven sun filters Americans still can't access: Tinosorb M, Mexoryl SX, Mexoryl XL, and Uvinal A Plus. Each one requires the same bureaucratic marathon. Each delay means more cancer cases that could have been prevented.

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

The real tragedy? We'll never know how many people got skin cancer because they couldn't access better sunscreen. The FDA can point to their "rigorous safety standards." But they can't point to the families who never had to deal with preventable cancer diagnoses. Bureaucrats measure their success by procedures followed, not lives improved.

@sfliberty - Students For Liberty

How many cases of skin cancer could have been prevented if Americans had access to the world's best sunscreens? We'll never know—but the delay is indefensible.

I believe there's little difference between Democrats and Trump when it comes to taxes and spending. Trump's massive federal deficit is alarming, and tariff revenue barely makes a dent. I see Trump as more like a Democrat, sharing traits with figures like Bill Clinton, but lacking his decorum. Both Trump and Biden exhibit cognitive decline and frequently lie, which is troubling. I miss principled conservative leadership and am frustrated by the GOP's abandonment of its values. While I recognize the flaws in both parties, I expect better from Republicans.

I've said that if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her. You know? Speaker 1: Ivanka, what's the favorite thing you have in common with your father? Either real estate or golf. Donald, with your daughter? Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say sex, but I can't relate that. Speaker 1: Brandi came in here. She got down on her knees and said, I passionately wanna do this. I, at this point, am the team chooser, not the team leader. Speaker 2: Excuse me. You dropped to your knees? Yes. Speaker 1: And begged to do this.

I can only tell you, if I would have used even half of that word, it would have been national scandal. This guy used a filthy, disgusting disgusting word on television, and he should be ashamed of himself, and he should apologize. Okay? Well, I think he should apologize for his foul mouth. I think it's a disgusting thing that he said, and I could tell you I would not use that word. But it's political bullshit. She said he's a pussy. They're ripping the shit out of the sea.

I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee. Okay. I'm always audited by the IRS, which I think is very unfair. I don't know. Maybe because of religion. You say religion?

Speaker 3: I'm wondering what one or two of your most favorite bible verses are Speaker 2: I I wouldn't want to get into it because to me that's very personal. You know, when I talk about the bible, it's very personal. So I don't want to get into verses.

Speaker 4: Mean Old Testament Testament guy guy or or a New New Testament Testament guy? Speaker 2: Probably equal.

Bud, have you ever asked God for forgiveness? I'm not sure I have. I just go and try and do a better job from there. I don't think so. I think I if I if I do something wrong, I think I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't. Now when I take you know, when we go in church and and when I drink my little wine, which is about the only wine I drink, and have my little cracker, I guess that's a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed. Do you actively go to church, or is that something that is more just when when you can? Right. Well, I go as much as I can always on Christmas, always on Easter Mhmm. Always when there's a major occasion. Speaker 4: Do you identify more as a Democrat or a Republican? Speaker 2: Well, you'd be shocked if I said that in many cases, I probably identify more as a Democrat. Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton. Speaker 2: Very talented, very smart. She's a friend of mine, so I'm a little bit prejudiced. She's a very, very capable person, and I think she'll probably be the nominee. We'll see, but I think she'll probably be the nominee. Speaker 4: Barack Obama. Speaker 2: Well, he's a star. I mean, he's really really done an amazing job in a very short period of time. Hillary Clinton, I think, is a terrific woman. I mean, I'm a little biased because I've known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York, and I've known her and her husband for years, and I really like them both a lot. And I think she really works hard, and I think she again, she's given an agenda that's not all of her, but I think she really works hard, and I think she does a good job. And I like her. Well, first of all, know her very well and I know her husband very well and I like them both. And they are, you know, just really terrific people. I like them both very much, but I think you'll be, you know, you'll be looking at the record of Hillary Clinton how did she do as secretary of state probably above and beyond everybody else and everything else. The war in Iraq has been a total catastrophe. And the day we leave, it's gonna be the ultimate revolution, and that's gonna be it. Nothing we're gonna do about it. Speaker 4: How does The United States get out of this situation? Is there a Speaker 2: How do they get how they get out? They get out. That's how they get out. Once we did it, however, we should have stayed there at least. I mean, the mistake that Obama made was really just getting out of Libya. I was I never discussed that subject. I was in favor of Libya. We would be so much better off if Qaddafi were in charge right now. Qaddafi in Libya is killing thousands of people. Nobody knows how bad it is. And we're sitting around. We have soldiers all over the Middle East, and we're not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage. And that's what it is. It's a carnage. You talk about all of the things that have happened in history. This could be one of the worst. Now we should go in. We should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it surgically. Stop him from doing it and save these lives. This is absolute nuts. We don't wanna get involved, and you're gonna end up with something like you've never seen before. I don't think Ted Cruz has a great chance, to be honest with you. He's a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him. I really do. I'd like Ted Cruz a lot. I love Iowa. We've done really well here. How stupid are the people of Iowa? Speaker 1: Do you really think that you're a better moderator than I am? Speaker 2: No. I could never beat you. That wouldn't even be close. There would be no contest. You have done a great job, by the way, and I mean it. I have zero respect for Megan Kelly. I don't think she's very good at what she does. I think she's highly overrated. Do you Speaker 5: object to migrants who are getting out of the Middle East and North Africa?

Remember when Biden thoughtfully defused the "Trump stolen top secret documents" issue, by getting caught with stolen top secret documents? Now Trump's returning the favor, thoughtfully defusing the "Biden elderly cognitive decline" issue, by showing signs of cognitive decline, himself. Maybe that's why he won't debate Haley. When Biden, of all people, or at least his campaign team, wants to talk about the issue of cognitive decline in elderly candidates, you know there's something seriously wrong with Trump. He sounds drunk, but he's famously a teetotaler, so it's not booze. Is he ill? Maybe he just took too much cold & flu medicine. I hope so! But I fear that it's a much deeper problem. Maybe that's why Scott & DeSantis endorsed him: they've seen how Trump is declining, and they're angling for the veep slot, figuring that he won't last four more years. Biden & Trump are much more alike than their allies are willing to admit. They're both elderly men showing signs of early dementia. They both lie with disturbing regularity and practiced ease. They're both divorced & remarried, and they're both rich old white guys. For both of them, a moist finger held in the wind is their only moral compass, and both of them have flip-flopped between being pro-life and radically pro-abortion, when it became politically expedient for them to change their views. Thankfully, Nikki Haley is not at all like them.

Global warming has not significantly worsened floods, as even the IPCC confirms. While climate change may slightly affect the water cycle, the impact on flooding remains undetectable.

I shared my thoughts on climate discussions, emphasizing that the narrative around climate change often overlooks the benefits of CO2. I referenced studies showing that increased CO2 levels can enhance agricultural productivity and improve drought resilience. I noted that historical famines were linked to lower CO2 levels and highlighted positive environmental changes in regions like Africa. I believe the evidence suggests that manmade climate change is modest and that CO2 emissions are largely beneficial. I encourage seeking balanced information on this topic.

Elevated [CO2] mitigates the effect of surface drought by stimulating root growth to access sub-soil water Through stimulation of root growth, increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) may facilitate access of crops to sub-soil water, which could potentially prolong physiological activity in dryland environments, particularly because crops are more water use efficient under elevated [CO2] (e[CO2]). This study investigated the effect of drought in shallow soil versus sub-soil on agronomic and physiological responses of wheat to e[CO2] in a glasshouse experiment. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yitpi) was grown in split-columns with the top (0–30 cm) and bottom (31–60 cm; ‘sub-soil’) soil layer hydraulically separated by a wax-coated, root-penetrable layer under ambient [CO2] (a[CO2], ∼400 μmol mol-1) or e[CO2] (∼700 μmol mol-1) [CO2]. Drought was imposed from stem-elongation in either the top or bottom soil layer or both by withholding 33% of the irrigation, resulting in four water treatments (WW, WD, DW, DD; D = drought, W = well-watered, letters denote water treatment in top and bottom soil layer, respectively). Leaf gas exchange was measured weekly from stem-elongation until anthesis. Above-and belowground biomass, grain yield and yield components were evaluated at three developmental stages (stem-elongation, anthesis and maturity). Compared with a[CO2], net assimilation rate was higher and stomatal conductance was lower under e[CO2], resulting in greater intrinsic water use efficiency. Elevated [CO2] stimulated both above- and belowground biomass as well as grain yield, however, this stimulation was greater under well-watered (WW) than drought (DD) throughout the whole soil profile. Imposition of drought in either or both soil layers decreased aboveground biomass and grain yield under both [CO2] compared to the well-watered treatment. However, the greatest ‘CO2 fertilisation effect’ was observed when drought was imposed in the top soil layer only (DW), and this was associated with e[CO2]-stimulation of root growth especially in the well-watered bottom layer. We suggest that stimulation of belowground biomass under e[CO2] will allow better access to sub-soil water during grain filling period, when additional water is converted into additional yield with high efficiency in Mediterranean-type dryland agro-ecosystems. If sufficient water is available in the sub-soil, e[CO2] may help mitigating the effect of drying surface soil. journals.plos.org

Climate and the Global Famine of 1876–78 Abstract From 1875 to 1878, concurrent multiyear droughts in Asia, Brazil, and Africa, referred to as the Great Drought, caused widespread crop failures, catalyzing the so-called Global Famine, which had fatalities exceeding 50 million people and long-lasting societal consequences. Observations, paleoclimate reconstructions, and climate model simulations are used 1) to demonstrate the severity and characterize the evolution of drought across different regions, and 2) to investigate the underlying mechanisms driving its multiyear persistence. Severe or record-setting droughts occurred on continents in both hemispheres and in multiple seasons, with the “Monsoon Asia” region being the hardest hit, experiencing the single most intense and the second most expansive drought in the last 800 years. The extreme severity, duration, and extent of this global event is associated with an extraordinary combination of preceding cool tropical Pacific conditions (1870–76), a record-breaking El Niño (1877–78), a record strong Indian Ocean dipole (1877), and record warm North Atlantic Ocean (1878) conditions. Composites of historical analogs and two sets of ensemble simulations—one forced with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and another forced with tropical Pacific SSTs—were used to distinguish the role of the extreme conditions in different ocean basins. While the drought in most regions was largely driven by the tropical Pacific SST conditions, an extreme positive phase of the Indian Ocean dipole and warm North Atlantic SSTs, both likely aided by the strong El Niño in 1877–78, intensified and prolonged droughts in Australia and Brazil, respectively, and extended the impact to northern and southeastern Africa. Climatic conditions that caused the Great Drought and Global Famine arose from natural variability, and their recurrence, with hydrological impacts intensified by global warming, could again potentially undermine global food security. journals.ametsoc.org

10/12〕ChatGPT did a good job of ‍‍‍‍explaining how elevated CO2 improves plants' water use efficiency and mitigates drought impacts: ‍‍“In agronomy, the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use efficiency and drought resilience are extensively studied. One of the key mechanisms through which elevated CO2 levels improve water use efficiency is by reducing stomatal conductance and, consequently, water loss through transpiration. ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍“Stomata are small pores on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, including the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of water vapor through transpiration. When CO2 levels are elevated, plants can maintain the same or higher rate of photosynthesis while reducing stomatal conductance. This reduction in stomatal conductance leads to a decrease in water loss through transpiration without significantly affecting CO2 uptake, resulting in improved water use efficiency.” References: 1.

Drought was imposed from stem-elongation in either the top or bottom soil layer or both by withholding 33% of the irrigation, resulting in four water treatments (WW, WD, DW, DD; D = drought, W = well-watered, letters denote water treatment in top and bottom soil layer, respectively). Leaf gas exchange was measured weekly from stem-elongation until anthesis. Above-and belowground biomass, grain yield and yield components were evaluated at three developmental stages (stem-elongation, anthesis and maturity). Compared with a[CO2], net assimilation rate was higher and stomatal conductance was lower under e[CO2], resulting in greater intrinsic water use efficiency. Elevated [CO2] stimulated both above- and belowground biomass as well as grain yield, however, this stimulation was greater under well-watered (WW) than drought (DD) throughout the whole soil profile. Imposition of drought in either or both soil layers decreased aboveground biomass and grain yield under both [CO2] compared to the well-watered treatment. However, the greatest ‘CO2 fertilisation effect’ was observed when drought was imposed in the top soil layer only (DW), and this was associated with e[CO2]-stimulation of root growth especially in the well-watered bottom layer. We suggest that stimulation of belowground biomass under e[CO2] will allow better access to sub-soil water during grain filling period, when additional water is converted into additional yield with high efficiency in Mediterranean-type dryland agro-ecosystems. If sufficient water is available in the sub-soil, e[CO2] may help mitigating the effect of drying surface soil. journals.plos.org

In the final days of the Biden administration, a $50 million grant was awarded to the Tribal Energy Consortium, a nonprofit led by Roger Fragua, who has a questionable financial history. The Trump administration has since launched an investigation into this funding. Fragua also runs the Flower Hill Institute, which shares an address with the Consortium and has faced audits revealing significant financial mismanagement and conflicts of interest. The USDA has received a corrective action plan from Fragua's group, but concerns remain about the potential disbursement of the grant.

EXCLUSIVE: In its final days, the Biden administration awarded $50 million to an obscure nonprofit whose leader has a history of self-dealing and financial mismanagement, documents show. Now, the Trump administration has launched an investigation and not yet disbursed the funding, officials shared w/ me.🧵

@gekaminsky - Gabe Kaminsky

The $50M grant — from the Department of Energy — was approved on Jan. 13 for the Tribal Energy Consortium. It is a 501(c)(3) charity on Indian tribal land focused on energy and mineral development.

@gekaminsky - Gabe Kaminsky

IRS records show the charity’s leader is Roger Fragua, a former Enron Corporation manager and consultant who wears different hats.

@gekaminsky - Gabe Kaminsky

Fragua is also the founder and executive director of the Flower Hill Institute, a charity on tribal land that, in fact, shares a mailing address with the $50 million awardee and Fragua’s LLC, Cota Holdings.

@gekaminsky - Gabe Kaminsky

Here’s why that’s notable: Fragua’s other charity, also a federal grantee, was found through an independent third-party audit to lack internal controls and violate federal rules. Among other issues, it did not test to see if other contractors could fulfill its needs other than a trio of companies tied to its board members — including Cota Holdings.

@gekaminsky - Gabe Kaminsky

Fragua’s Cota Holdings raked in hundreds of thousands from his charity, while it also overbilled the Department of Agriculture for reimbursements, the audit documents say.

@gekaminsky - Gabe Kaminsky

The USDA told me it later received a corrective actions plan from Fragua’s group to address its issues, though tax experts still said these are red flags for the Trump administration to critically investigate before potentially handing the $50M to Fragua’s Tribal Energy Consortium.

reSee.it AI Summary

In today's world, misinformation spreads faster than the truth, especially regarding topics like vaccines and GMOs. Anti-science communication thrives on fear, cherry-picked data, and emotional headlines, making it more shareable than factual information. People are drawn to conspiracies that feel empowering, while the damage from this misinformation can lead to preventable diseases and hinder progress in addressing hunger and climate change. To combat this, we need to make science engaging, teach critical thinking, and hold misinformation accountable. Ultimately, we must choose to trust science over fear-driven narratives.

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

In today’s world, misinformation travels faster than the truth. Whether it’s anti-vaxxers, chemophobia, GMO fear, or anti-nuclear. The internet has turned bad science into big business. Here’s how anti-science communication works, and why it’s so effective 🧵: 1/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

1. Fear is More Viral Than Facts: 🚨 “GMOs cause cancer!” 🚨 “5G is frying your brain!” 🚨 “The government is hiding the cure for cancer!” People don’t share boring but accurate statements like: “Overwhelming scientific evidence supports vaccine safety.” 2/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

2. Why Do People Fall for Anti-Science? ❌ It feels empowering – They think they’ve uncovered “hidden truths” that experts “don’t want you to know.” ❌ People love “evidence” that supports what they already believe. ❌ Science is complex. Conspiracies are easy. 3/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

3. Tactics of Anti-Science Communicators: 🔸 They cherry-pick data. Using one flawed study to discredit 100s of real ones. 🔸 They create fake experts. Self-proclaimed “doctors” with no credentials. 🔸 They weaponize uncertainty. “If science changes, it must be fake!” 4/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

They share shocking, emotional headlines, even if they’re false. A fake study with one scary anecdote spreads faster than a 500-page peer-reviewed report. The goal? Confuse the public enough that they distrust real experts. 5/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

5. The Damage Anti-Science Communication Causes: 🚨 Vaccine fear = preventable diseases making a comeback. 🚨 Anti-GMO laws = fewer tools to fight hunger and climate change. 🚨 Chemophobia = unnecessary bans on safe, effective technology. 6/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

6. How Do We Fight Anti-Science Communication? ✅ Make real science engaging – If misinformation is emotional, facts need to be compelling too. ✅ Teach critical thinking – If people question sources, they won’t fall for bad ones. 7/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

✅ Hold misinformation accountable – When influencers spread lies, call them out. ✅ Trust experts—not influencers – Being loud doesn’t mean being right. Science fights for truth. Misinformation fights for attention. 8/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

The Takeaway? Anti-science thrives because it’s simple, emotional, and viral. Misinformation is a business - there’s profit in fear. Fighting anti-science means making real science more accessible, engaging, and trusted. 9/10

@simonmaechling - Simon Maechling

Science isn’t perfect - but it’s the best tool we have to understand reality. The real question is: Will we trust science or let misinformation win? 10/10

I explored the MBH98 hockey stick graph and discovered an older reconstruction was mistakenly used in one figure. My goal is to reproduce and extend the post-1600 portion of the reconstruction, utilizing data from 62 proxies. I identified the proxies and found that 59 were weighted, while three coral records were excluded. After extracting proxy weights, I successfully emulated the reconstruction back to 1760 and further to 1400, noting that the warmest year was 1566. The emulation is available on GitHub for further exploration.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

MBH98 features its famous hockey stick graph in two figures. By mistake, an older version of the reconstruction was actually used for one of the figures. I like a good puzzle so decided to do some reverse engineering on the "old" MBH98 reconstruction. 🧵

@detgodehab - Savonarola

MBH98 uses the old reconstruction for signal detection. Since the forcing data begins in the early 1600s, only the post-1600 portion of the reconstruction is shown in the paper. The goal of this thread is to reproduce that part of the reconstruction and then extend it.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

The post-1760 portion also appears in an earlier paper by Mann and Bradley (MB98). This paper will be useful.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

Figure 1 of MB98 shows a map of 62 proxies from 58 locations. Let's start by identifying these proxies. We can make use of the fact that in periods with constant sample depth, the temperature reconstruction is a linear combination of the underlying proxy records.

All MBH98 proxies have data back to 1820, so let's project that part of the old reconstruction on the final set of 112 proxies. To get a perfect fit, we must also include a few "dirty laundry" series. The proxy data is available on @ncdave4life's website: https://sealevel.info/FOIA/2009/FOIA/documents/mbh98-osborn/

@detgodehab - Savonarola

The coefficients indicate that 59 proxy records were used. They are a subset of the 62 proxies marked on the map. The three unused proxies are coral records from the Galapagos Islands, the Great Barrier Reef and Espiritu Santo.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

So we know which proxies were used. MB98 also specifies which temperature principal components were used to calibrate the proxies. But the MBH98 algorithm doesn't produce the old reconstruction from this input. At least not with default settings...

@detgodehab - Savonarola

The fact that 62 proxies are shown in MB98 but only 59 have nonzero coefficients suggests that the proxies were weighted (i.e. scaled after standardization), with zero weight assigned to the three unused coral records.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

Weighting of proxies was a non-default setting in the MBH98 computer program and wasn't used for the final reconstruction. As an aside, for their emulation of MBH98, Wahl and Ammann didn't use weights either and called it a "significant methodological simplification." 🤨

@detgodehab - Savonarola

Curiously, a file in the mbh98-osborn archive assigns zero weight to the three unused coral records, but the reconstruction isn't reproducible using these weights. We'll need to reverse engineer the correct values.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

A standard nonlinear least-squares solver (Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm) finds the approximate weights in a few iterations. 👍

@detgodehab - Savonarola

With the proxy weights successfully extracted, the emulation is exact back to 1760. MB98 doesn't specify which temperature PCs were used further back, so we'll reverse engineer this as well. More linear algebra...

@detgodehab - Savonarola

The reconstruction is a linear combination of the proxies, but also of the columns of PW²P₀ᵀU₀, where P is the proxy matrix, P₀ is the calibration-period submatrix of P, W is the weight matrix and U₀ is a matrix of temperature PCs. See @ClimateAudit: https://climateaudit.org/2008/04/05/squared-weights-in-mbh98/

Squared Weights in MBH98 A couple of weeks ago, I said that I would document (at least for Jean S and UC) an observation about the use of squared weights in MBH98. I realize that most readers won't be fascinated with this particular exposition, but indulge us a little since this sort of entry is actually a very useful… climateaudit.org

@detgodehab - Savonarola

By projecting the reconstruction on the column space of PW²P₀ᵀU₀ over periods with constant sample depth, we see which temperature PCs were used.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

Temperature PCs 1, 2, 3 and 5 were used back to 1760, as stated in MB98 and as we have seen. For the period 1610–1759, only the first two PCs were used. With these PC selections, the emulation is exact back to 1610, which is when the archived data begins.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

Comparing with Figure 7 of MBH98, the emulation looks accurate back to 1600 as well.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

MB98 states that the reconstruction is highly skilful back to 1450. Judging by the proxy map, 1400 might be the actual start year.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

To extend the emulation, we again need to know which temperature PCs to reconstruct. According to the algorithm description, the number of retained PCs decreases back in time, so let's keep one or two PCs for the period before 1600.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

Here is the emulation back to 1400. Whether one or two temperature PCs are used, the early and late 1400s are about as warm as the modern end of the reconstruction. The warmest year is 1566.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

This obviously changed when the proxy weights were dropped, and questionable bristlecone pine chronologies were added to the proxy network and mined for by the peculiar PCA method.

@detgodehab - Savonarola

As a final note, it may or may not be possible to work out which PCs were selected for the earliest period. MB98 gives a brief description of the selection rule and refers to MBH98 for the details, but MBH98 gives a different rule. What rule they really used is anyone's guess.

I've been discussing a troubling legal trend where pro-abortion officials in states like NY, CO, and CA are attempting to ban pro-life speech. They are targeting doctors and pregnancy centers that inform women about abortion pill reversal (APR), a safe treatment using progesterone. Despite claims of misleading information, evidence shows APR is effective and has saved lives. Many women who regretted taking the abortion pill are grateful for the support they received. These officials are misusing their power, and I'm committed to fighting back against these restrictions on free speech.

@ADFLegal - Alliance Defending Freedom

"Pro-choice"? Not so much. A thread about a shocking new legal tactic we're seeing from pro-abortion officials in multiple states. 👇

@ADFLegal - Alliance Defending Freedom

We’re currently litigating cases in NY, CO, and CA where state officials have tried to ban/punish pro-life speech. These officials are trying to punish doctors, nurses & pregnancy centers who provide a treatment called abortion pill reversal (APR)... or even TELL women about it.

@ADFLegal - Alliance Defending Freedom

These politicians accuse APR providers of “misleading” women. But the evidence says otherwise. APR uses progesterone, a natural hormone which has been safely prescribed to pregnant women for decades. Progesterone can counter the deadly effects of mifepristone when taken in time.

@ADFLegal - Alliance Defending Freedom

Statistics suggest APR has an effectiveness rate of 64-68%. It's safe for mom & baby and has likely saved thousands of lives, including... - a baby girl born to Atoria in 2022 (CA) - a baby girl born to Mackenna in 2024 (CO - pictured) - a baby boy born to Desirae in 2024 (CA)

@ADFLegal - Alliance Defending Freedom

All three of these women are incredibly grateful for the pregnancy centers and healthcare providers who helped them use APR to undo a decision they immediately regretted: taking the first abortion pill. All three of these babies were born healthy and are deeply loved.

@ADFLegal - Alliance Defending Freedom

It’s hard to believe ANYONE would oppose this happy outcome, or this lifesaving choice. But if government officials in these states had gotten their way, these women would have been forced to have abortions they didn’t want. And these babies would have never been born.

@ADFLegal - Alliance Defending Freedom

These officials are abusing their power. They have no right to punish speech about a safe, legal treatment. But they're also showing how extreme the modern pro-abortion movement is. There’s nothing “pro-choice” about banning speech so women are forced to have unwanted abortions.

@ADFLegal - Alliance Defending Freedom

In NY, CO, CA, and other states, ADF is fighting back. We’re suing officials and challenging laws that trample free speech and trap women in unwanted abortions. You can help. Learn more and join our work defending pro-life pregnancy centers at adflegal.org/wecare

While many believe debates are a staple of American politics, they only became recognizable with the Nixon/Kennedy debate in 1960, and regular debates didn't start until 1976 with Ford and Carter. Despite their shortcomings, Ford and Carter displayed thoughtfulness and decency in their debate. We have the politics we deserve because we tolerate and often demand it.

Climate activists predicted that a 1.5°C temperature increase would be disastrous, but nothing bad happened. The mild weather in 2023 was due to factors like El Niño, reduced air pollution, and volcanic activity. Storms have not worsened, and some categories of storms have decreased. Elevated CO2 levels improve crop yields and make plants more water-efficient and drought resilient. Global food security has improved, and famines are becoming rare.

And 3. The unusual 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption, which humidified the stratosphere. And 4.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

1/7. This PBS piece is extremely misleading. Elevated CO2 greatly improves crop yields, and it mitigates drought impacts, by improving plants' water use efficiency (WUE) and drought resilience. See: https://www.masterresource.org/carbon-dioxide/co2-increased-water-use-efficiency/ I asked ChatGPT to explain the mechanism by which agronomists have found that elevated CO2 improves crops' WUE and drought resilience. It did a good job: ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍꧁꧂ In agronomy, the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use efficiency and drought resilience are extensively studied. One of the key mechanisms through which elevated CO2 levels improve water use efficiency is by reducing stomatal conductance and, consequently, water loss through transpiration. Stomata are small pores on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, including the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of water vapor through transpiration. When CO2 levels are elevated, plants can maintain the same or higher rate of photosynthesis while reducing stomatal conductance. This reduction in stomatal conductance leads to a decrease in water loss through transpiration without significantly affecting CO2 uptake, resulting in improved water use efficiency. Several studies have quantified the effect of elevated CO2 on stomatal conductance and transpiration. For example, a meta-analysis published in 2013 (Kimball et al., 2013) found that under elevated CO2 levels, stomatal conductance decreased by an average of 22%, while transpiration decreased by only 17%. This indicates that plants under elevated CO2 levels were able to reduce water loss more efficiently than they reduced CO2 uptake, leading to an overall improvement in water use efficiency. Improvements in water use efficiency due to elevated CO2 levels can increase plants' drought resilience by allowing them to maintain adequate hydration during periods of water scarcity. This can be particularly beneficial in arid and semi-arid regions where water availability is limited. Overall, the literature suggests that elevated CO2 levels can improve water use efficiency in plants by reducing stomatal conductance and water loss through transpiration, which can enhance their resilience to drought conditions.

CO2 Enrichment Improves Plant Water-Use Efficiency - Master Resource “Gratefully, nature does not have to wait another century or so for the air’s CO2 concentration to double before reaping benefits from enhanced water use efficiency. It has already begun to profit in this regard from the approximate 50% increase in atmospheric CO2 that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution began.” In my last article I wrote […] masterresource.org

7/10. "Coming out" as a climate realist is a sure way to not get tenure in leftist-controlled schools. It's a safe bet that if Prof. Taylor had chaired the department's tenure and promotion committee at Princeton, Prof. Dyson would've been denied tenure.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

19/19› I'll conclude with the wisdom of the late Prof. Freeman Dyson: "…non-climatic effects of carbon dioxide as a sustainer of wildlife and crop plants are enormously beneficial… possibly harmful climatic effects of carbon dioxide have been greatly exaggerated, and… the benefits clearly outweigh the possible damage." When he wrote these words he was, by general consensus, America's most distinguished living scientist. He was the man who took over Einstein's position, when Einstein died. Prof. Dyson knew that manmade climate change is modest & benign, and CO2 emissions are beneficial, not harmful.

reSee.it AI Summary

Elevated CO2 levels improve crop yields and mitigate drought impacts by enhancing water use efficiency and drought resilience. Studies show that elevated CO2 reduces stomatal conductance, resulting in decreased water loss through transpiration while maintaining or increasing photosynthesis. This improves water use efficiency and can enhance plants' ability to withstand drought conditions. Rising CO2 levels have contributed to a decrease in the damage caused by droughts, making catastrophic famines less common. Ending famine is comparable to ending war or disease, highlighting the significance of these improvements. The scientific evidence suggests that manmade climate change is modest and CO2 emissions are beneficial. To understand climate change, it is important to seek balanced information from reliable sources.

1/7. This PBS piece is extremely misleading. Elevated CO2 greatly improves crop yields, and it mitigates drought impacts, by improving plants' water use efficiency (WUE) and drought resilience. See: https://masterresource.org/carbon-dioxide/co2-increased-water-use-efficiency/ I asked ChatGPT to explain the mechanism by which agronomists have found that elevated CO2 improves crops' WUE and drought resilience. It did a good job: ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍꧁꧂ In agronomy, the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use efficiency and drought resilience are extensively studied. One of the key mechanisms through which elevated CO2 levels improve water use efficiency is by reducing stomatal conductance and, consequently, water loss through transpiration. Stomata are small pores on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, including the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of water vapor through transpiration. When CO2 levels are elevated, plants can maintain the same or higher rate of photosynthesis while reducing stomatal conductance. This reduction in stomatal conductance leads to a decrease in water loss through transpiration without significantly affecting CO2 uptake, resulting in improved water use efficiency. Several studies have quantified the effect of elevated CO2 on stomatal conductance and transpiration. For example, a meta-analysis published in 2013 (Kimball et al., 2013) found that under elevated CO2 levels, stomatal conductance decreased by an average of 22%, while transpiration decreased by only 17%. This indicates that plants under elevated CO2 levels were able to reduce water loss more efficiently than they reduced CO2 uptake, leading to an overall improvement in water use efficiency. Improvements in water use efficiency due to elevated CO2 levels can increase plants' drought resilience by allowing them to maintain adequate hydration during periods of water scarcity. This can be particularly beneficial in arid and semi-arid regions where water availability is limited. Overall, the literature suggests that elevated CO2 levels can improve water use efficiency in plants by reducing stomatal conductance and water loss through transpiration, which can enhance their resilience to drought conditions.

CO2 Enrichment Improves Plant Water-Use Efficiency - Master Resource “Gratefully, nature does not have to wait another century or so for the air’s CO2 concentration to double before reaping benefits from enhanced water use efficiency. It has already begun to profit in this regard from the approximate 50% increase in atmospheric CO2 that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution began.” In my last article I wrote […] masterresource.org

NASA Climate, specifically the JPL Earth Science Communications Team, is criticized for spreading misinformation and political propaganda. However, other parts of NASA employ real scientists who do valuable work. CO2 emissions are seen as beneficial for natural ecosystems, and NASA satellites measure the "greening" of the Earth. Concerns about the Antarctic Ice Sheet melting are addressed, stating that a few degrees of warming cannot melt it. Photos of Waikiki Beach illustrate the negligible sea-level trend. Scientific papers supporting the modest and benign nature of manmade climate change and the benefits of CO2 emissions are mentioned. Satellite altimetry measurements are questioned due to their limitations and malleability. Coastal measurements, on the other hand, show little acceleration in sea-level trends. The Gulf Stream's influence on sea-level rise along the Atlantic coast is highlighted. The benefits of rising CO2 levels, especially for agriculture and ecosystems, are emphasized.

6/9. The study which NASAClimate is hyping is based on satellite altimetry, not coastal measurements. https://sealevel.info/satellite_altimetry.html Coastal (tide gauge) measurements provide much higher quality data. Measurement of sea-level by satellite altimetry has many problems, which do not affect coastal measurements. One problem is that the satellites only measure sea-level far out to sea. They cannot measure sea-level near the coasts, where it matters. Also, satellite altimetry measurement records are generally only about a decade long. In contrast, many coastal measurement records are over a century long. Also, satellite altimetry measurements have proven to be disturbingly malleable. The very same data can show acceleration, deceleration, or linearity, depending on how it is processed! Here's an example from a 2014 paper, which turned apparent deceleration into linearity, by changing ("correcting") the measurements. https://sealevel.info/nclimate2159-f1_large_trimmed1.png A subsequent paper then turned the linear trend into an acceleration, by a combination of additional corrections and a little bit of additional data: https://sealevel.info/2017GL073308_fig4_scaled2match2.png The 2012 Envisat revisions were especially striking: https://sealevel.info/envisat_msl_correction_from_esa02.png A widely-hyped 2018 paper by U. Colorado's Dr. Steve Nerem et al claimed to have discovered “acceleration” in the satellite altimetry measurement record of sea-level. They did it by reducing the rate of measured sea-level rise in 20 year-old Topex-Poseidon data, thereby making more recent measurements appear to have accelerated, by comparison.

So happy to see this incredible work published, showing that 36 million large trees disappeared from agricultural land in India

@matin_brandt - Martin Brandt

We mapped a half billion individual farmland trees in India, and tracked their fate over a decade. Many large trees have disappeared. The paper in Nature Sus.: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-024-01356-0, Viewer: https://rs-cph.projects.earthengine.app/view/tree. It's a new framework for temporal monitoring of single trees..

Severe decline in large farmland trees in India over the past decade - Nature Sustainability Agroforestry practices that include the integration of multifunctional trees within agricultural lands can generate multiple socioecological benefits, in addition to being a natural climate solution due to the associated carbon sequestration potential. Such agroforestry trees represent a vital part of India’s landscapes. However, despite their importance, a current lack of robust monitoring mechanisms has contributed to an insufficient grasp of their distribution in relation to management practices, as well as their vulnerability to climate change and diseases. Here we map 0.6 billion farmland trees, excluding block plantations, in India and track them over the past decade. We show that around 11 ± 2% of the large trees (about 96 m2 crown size) mapped in 2010/2011 had disappeared by 2018. Moreover, during the period 2018–2022, more than 5 million large farmland trees (about 67 m2 crown size) have vanished, due partly to altered cultivation practices, where trees within fields are perceived as detrimental to crop yields. These observations are particularly unsettling given the current emphasis on agroforestry as a pivotal natural climate solution, playing a crucial role in both climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies, in addition to being important for supporting agricultural livelihoods and improving biodiversity. Agroforestry practices represent important natural climate solutions, in addition to providing a variety of socioecological benefits. This study evaluates spatiotemporal agroforestry patterns in India by tracking the fate of large farmland trees over the past decade. nature.com

reSee.it AI Summary

Concrete is a valuable material that can be used for negative emissions. By using carbon-free heat sources and capturing process emissions, concrete can absorb CO2. It is cheaper and less energy-intensive to capture CO2 from concrete plants compared to the atmosphere. Making more carbon-negative concrete can offset global aviation emissions and other "hard to abate" sectors. We should focus on smarter concrete production rather than using less concrete. Additionally, evaluating embodied emissions should consider the evolution of manufacturing processes for different technologies.

@JessePeltan - Jesse Peltan

We should use more concrete - not less. Concrete is a foundational pillar of civilization. It's also an easy answer to "hard to abate" emissions. Concrete is about 8% of global emissions, but we could make it negative 4%. (or even more if we use more concrete) Concrete emissions come from two places: 1. fuel use to heat up limestone 2. decomposition of limestone (process emissions) (emissions are roughly half and half) Over time, concrete reabsorbs the CO2 it gave off (process emissions) during production. The rate and magnitude vary by geometry and exposure. (thinner slabs carbonate more quickly) If we provide heat from carbon free sources and capture the process emissions, concrete can be a net absorber of CO2. Capturing a concentrated stream of CO2 from a concrete plant is a lot cheaper and less energy intensive than capturing dilute CO2 from the atmosphere. This exact same chemistry is actually exploited by some direct air capture (DAC) processes to capture CO2 from the air. We don't have to set up a dedicated direct air capture facility that makes and unmakes cement over and over again. That's a lot of energy and capex that only captures CO2. By comparison, if we just make more concrete and make it carbon negative, we can capture the CO2 and use concrete for things we need. We can even substitute it for other building materials. The world needs concrete to build safe shelters, infrastructure, power plants, etc. If we make current volumes of concrete carbon negative, they could offset all of global aviation emissions (~2.5%). If we make even more concrete, we could offset other "hard to abate" sectors too. Concrete is an extremely valuable material. There's a big push to use less concrete or find alternative concrete chemistries that don't emit CO2. That push misses the massive opportunity for concrete as a tool for negative emissions. We don't need less concrete. We just need to be smarter about how we make it.

@JessePeltan - Jesse Peltan

Concrete is DAC. We're already spending the energy necessary for global scale DAC. With a few tweaks, we can get the benefit of it too.

@JessePeltan - Jesse Peltan

Side note: "embodied emissions" is mostly B.S. - at least how we typically use it. A nuclear plant has negative embodied carbon if the concrete used is negative carbon. Steel has a vastly different emissions intensity if it comes from a blast furnace, DRI with methane, DRI with hydrogen, recycling, etc. When evaluating embodied emissions, it's critical to take into account the evolution of processes used to manufacture a given technology. Solar's embodied carbon today is vastly different than 20 years ago. In 20 years, it will be just as unrecognizable. This is true broadly across technologies as processes electrify, the grid becomes cleaner, and we deploy alternative production pathways.

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

Despite objections Steyn produced the National Academy of Sciences code of Conduct. Does Mann have an issue with codes of conduct? Perhaps?

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

Code states "NAS members shall treat all individuals in the scientific enterprise collegially and with respect....colleagues, other NAS members, students, and interested members of public"

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

Steyn told jury code of conduct also says "NAS members must refrain from all forms of discrimination, harassment, and bullying in their professional encounters" - Can you guess where Steyn is going?

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

"The NAS described what Mann does all day every day on social media, discriminating against, harassing & bullying anyone who disagrees with him: "

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

He harasses and bullies "Colleagues or interested members of the public. Mann is one of the most vicious blowhards on Twitter, which is pretty much vicious blowhard central"

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

Steyn points out to the jury that Mann has produced THREE abusive emails from strangers to prove damages. Two are from "OverlordMustafa" and the third calls him a loser. "Is that all they've got? Steyn ask?

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

Loser? Steyn says Mr. Mann says far worse than call people a loser every moment of the day. "He doesn't even stop for public holidays."

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

I was shocked when I heard what Mann treated two days ago. Steyn told the jury that on MLK day, Mann tweeted that, Steve McIntyre, an upcoming witness in the trial who challenged Manns stats had "a disturbing connection with white supremacy."!!!!

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

Steyn said that if Mann had said this before a trial in the UK - it would be "witness tampering" and Mann would be "facing a spell behind bars."

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

Steyn:"Michael Mann is now an activist, tweeter..... couple of scientific papers provide cover for activism"But in the crazy world of Michael E. Mann, highly technical disagreement about Mann's use of principal components analysis is equivalent of burning a cross on your lawn.

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

If Steyn statements are defamatory of Mann, "why is Mann's statement not defamatory of Stephen McIntyre? Mr. Mann wants a world where no one can criticize him but he can damn anyone he cares to as a white supremacist, a racist, a homophobe, whatever."

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

"This is extremely weird behavior from a scientist" Steyn told the jury. "Which is why so many scientists around the world want nothing to do with him. Mann's a classic example of the guy who can dish it out but can't take it."

@PhelimMcAleer - Phelim McAleer

The earth's atmosphere has warmed due to human burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide levels were higher during the time of dinosaurs, but the world did not end. Greenhouses intentionally pump CO2 to aid plant growth. NASA found that CO2 fertilization is greening the earth. Mars has a significant global warming issue. French-style nuclear power is environmentally friendly. US commercial nuclear plants are less radioactive than the Capitol Building. Germany's shift from nuclear to coal may have caused more deaths than Chernobyl and Fukushima. New York and Vermont have replaced nuclear with fossil fuels. Wind energy companies have been responsible for eagle deaths. Wind and solar farms rely on fossil fuels as backup. Michael Shellenberger switched from anti-nuclear to pro-nuclear power.

17/18. Rising CO2 levels improve crop yields in two major ways: through "CO2 fertilization," and by improving drought resilience and water use efficiency (WUE). That's long-settled science, among agronomists. Most plants utilize C3 photosynthesis, and agronomy studies show that for C3 crops the CO2 fertilization benefit is highly linear as CO2 levels rise, until above about 1000 ppmv (which is far higher than we could ever hope to drive outdoor CO2 levels by burning fossil fuels). That linearity is obvious in the green (C3) trace, in this graph: https://sealevel.info/C3_and_C4_Pflanze_vs_CO2_Konzentration_1750_1984_2018_2019.png Here's a study about wheat (a C3 crop): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26929390 Fitzgerald GJ, et al. (2016) Elevated atmospheric [CO2] can dramatically increase wheat yields in semi-arid environments and buffer against heat waves. Glob Chang Biol. 22(6):2269-84. doi:10.1111/gcb.13263. Plants (and animals) are carbon-based lifeforms. Plants get the carbon they need from CO2 in the air; CO2 is, literally, plant food. The higher the CO2 level, the less air plants must process through their stomata, and the less water they lose in the process (transpiration). Elevated CO2 improves plants' WUE and drought resilience by improving CO2 stomatal conductance relative to transpiration. So eCO2 is especially beneficial in arid regions, and especially beneficial for crops which are under drought stress. Corn (maize) has been very heavily studied. Even though it is a C4 grass (and C4 plants are better at enduring low CO2 levels), corn benefits greatly from elevated CO2, especially under drought stress. Here's a paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Chun et al. (2011). Effect of elevated carbon dioxide and water stress on gas exchange and water use efficiency in corn. Agric For Meteorol 151(3), pp 378-384, ISSN 0168-1923. doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2010.11.015. EXCERPT: "There have been many studies on the interaction of CO2 and water on plant growth. Under elevated CO2, less water is used to produce each unit of dry matter by reducing stomatal conductance." That improvement is one of several major reasons that catastrophic drought-triggered famines are fading from living memory, for the first time in history. If you're too young to remember huge, devastating, drought-triggered famines, count yourself blessed. Through all of human history, until very recently, famine was one of the great scourges of mankind, the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse. But no more. That is a miracle!

Major crops like corn, wheat, potatoes & soybeans are produced from Mexico to Canada. Compared to that, a degree or two of warming (disproportionately at night, in winter, at chilly high latitudes) is de minimis -- as is the 0.35±0.13°C between now and what the IPCC calls "1.5°C of warming").

Recent increases in terrestrial carbon uptake at little cost to the water cycle - Nature Communications Quantifying the responses of the coupled carbon and water cycles to current global warming and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration is crucial for predicting and adapting to climate changes. Here we show that terrestrial carbon uptake (i.e. gross primary production) increased significantly from 1982 to 2011 using a combination of ground-based and remotely sensed land and atmospheric observations. Importantly, we find that the terrestrial carbon uptake increase is not accompanied by a proportional increase in water use (i.e. evapotranspiration) but is largely (about 90%) driven by increased carbon uptake per unit of water use, i.e. water use efficiency. The increased water use efficiency is positively related to rising CO2 concentration and increased canopy leaf area index, and negatively influenced by increased vapour pressure deficits. Our findings suggest that rising atmospheric CO2 concentration has caused a shift in terrestrial water economics of carbon uptake. The response of the coupled carbon and water cycles to anthropogenic climate change is unclear. Here, the authors show that terrestrial carbon uptake increased significantly from 1982 to 2011 and that this increase is largely driven by increased water-use efficiency, rather than an increase in water use. nature.com

8.1/10. Aside: for agricultural plants, carbon absorption is roughly proportional to crop yield, so a +17% increase in carbon uptake from a mere 55 ppmv (16%) rise in CO2 level strongly suggests that crop yield improvements from elevated CO2 are much greater than the +20% conservative estimate which I previously mentioned.

You're in denial of thousands of rigorous agronomy studies, over more than a century, which have measured the very large benefits of rising CO2 levels for agriculture. Of course, despite the benefits of elevated CO2, it's still possible to destroy agricultural productivity with bad governance. https://twitter-thread.com/t/1719372491536085167 Mao demonstrated that 60+ years ago, in pursuit of socialist utopia. Gotabaya Rajapaksa proved it again in Sri Lanka in 2021. Sri Lanka's humanitarian and economic disaster is the poison fruit of climate alarmism. Leftist politicians and climate activists are doing their best to lower crop yields, and return us to the days of mass famines. Most young people don't know much history, so they don't know what that's like. They're in for a very rude awakening, if the climate activists get their way. Compare: ● Covid-19 has killed about 0.1% of world population, so far ● The 1918 flu killed ≈2% ● WWII killed ≈2.7% ● But the global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed an estimated 3.7% of world population Dutch farmers are some of the most productive in the world, but their leftist, climate-conscious government is doing their best to end that: https://reuters.com/business/environment/dutch-farmers-protest-plan-curb-nitrogen-pollution-2022-06-22/ So is Baby Trudeau's leftist, climate-conscious government in Canada: https://agweb.com/news/policy/politics/new-policy-forces-canadian-producers-cut-back-fertilizer The Left and the Climate Industry are at war against agriculture, and against against humanity https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=famine#famine In fact, the Climate Industry is ultimately at war against science itself.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

1/7. The only trace on that graph which does not show large improvement in cereal yield per hectare is the trace for Niger. The graph ended with an anomalously bad crop year for cereals in Niger (2021). Fortunately, 2022 was much better; here's an article https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2023/06/19/niger-strong-agricultural-season-boosts-economic-rebound-in-2022

Niger: Strong Agricultural Season Boosts Economic Rebound in 2022 Niger's economy recovered strongly in 2022 after two years of weak growth. This is primarily due to a good agricultural season, thanks to favorable rainfall and an expansion of irrigated land. However, there are uncertainties and risks that could affect future growth, such as the security situation and climatic shocks. These are the findings of the World Bank’s latest economic update for Niger published today. worldbank.org

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

2/7. By displaying high productivity countries like the USA along with Niger, you forced OurWorldInData to scale the graphs so that it's hard to see the trend in Niger. But if you display Niger alone, as I've done here, you'll see that cereal yields declined there until about thirty years ago, but they've improved since then (except for 2021).

The other major staple crop in Niger is cassava. Its yields have improved considerably. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cassava_yield_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

4/7. That's probably because cassava benefits tremendously from additional CO2, especially in the dry conditions which are prevalent in most of Niger. Here's a paper about it: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03650340.2018.1446523 Cruz et al 2018. Elevated CO2 reduces whole transpiration and substantially improves root production of cassava grown under water deficit. Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science 64: 1623-1634. doi:10.1080/03650340.2018.1446523

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

5/7. Most of Niger is desert or near-desert, which means most of its land is poorly suited for growing crops. Over the 60 year period shown, Niger's population increased by about 640%. As a result, the amount of land under cultivation drastically increased, resulting in more marginal land being put to the plow. That, of course, can be expected to lower the average cereal yield per hectare. Nevertheless, other than a bad year in 2021, yields there have been improving since the mid 1990s. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cereal_production_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

6/7. That's probably because of the well-known fact that, in addition to improving production by CO2 fertilization, rising CO2 levels improve crops' water use efficiency and drought resilience. Here's a paper about wheat: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gcb.13263 Fitzgerald GJ, et al. (2016) Elevated atmospheric [CO2] can dramatically increase wheat yields in semi-arid environments and buffer against heat waves. Glob Chang Biol. 22(6):2269-84. doi:10.1111/gcb.13263.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

1/7. The only trace on that graph which does not show large improvement in cereal yield per hectare is the trace for Niger. The graph ended with an anomalously bad crop year for cereals in Niger (2021). Fortunately, 2022 was much better; here's an article https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2023/06/19/niger-strong-agricultural-season-boosts-economic-rebound-in-2022

Niger: Strong Agricultural Season Boosts Economic Rebound in 2022 Niger's economy recovered strongly in 2022 after two years of weak growth. This is primarily due to a good agricultural season, thanks to favorable rainfall and an expansion of irrigated land. However, there are uncertainties and risks that could affect future growth, such as the security situation and climatic shocks. These are the findings of the World Bank’s latest economic update for Niger published today. worldbank.org

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

2/7. By displaying high productivity countries like the USA along with Niger, you forced OurWorldInData to scale the graphs so that it's hard to see the trend in Niger. But if you display Niger alone, as I've done here, you'll see that cereal yields declined there until about thirty years ago, but they've improved since then (except for 2021).

The other major staple crop in Niger is cassava. Its yields have improved considerably. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cassava_yield_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

4/7. That's probably because cassava benefits tremendously from additional CO2, especially in the dry conditions which are prevalent in most of Niger. Here's a paper about it: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03650340.2018.1446523 Cruz et al 2018. Elevated CO2 reduces whole transpiration and substantially improves root production of cassava grown under water deficit. Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science 64: 1623-1634. doi:10.1080/03650340.2018.1446523

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

5/7. Most of Niger is desert or near-desert, which means most of its land is poorly suited for growing crops. Over the 60 year period shown, Niger's population increased by about 640%. As a result, the amount of land under cultivation drastically increased, resulting in more marginal land being put to the plow. That, of course, can be expected to lower the average cereal yield per hectare. Nevertheless, other than a bad year in 2021, yields there have been improving since the mid 1990s. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cereal_production_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

6/7. That's probably because of the well-known fact that, in addition to improving production by CO2 fertilization, rising CO2 levels improve crops' water use efficiency and drought resilience. Here's a paper about wheat: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gcb.13263 Fitzgerald GJ, et al. (2016) Elevated atmospheric [CO2] can dramatically increase wheat yields in semi-arid environments and buffer against heat waves. Glob Chang Biol. 22(6):2269-84. doi:10.1111/gcb.13263.

The conversation revolves around the contribution of methane (CH4) to radiative forcing and climate change. @Willard1951 and @ncdave4life debate the percentage of CH4's impact, with @Willard1951 claiming it to be around 18% and @ncdave4life stating it is only 8.6%. @Daniel_Marbella emphasizes the significance of CO2 as the main greenhouse gas. The conversation also touches on historical climate trends and the impact of air pollution.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

I'm glad you finally understand that, according to NOAA's AGGI chart, over the last 1/3 century CH4 has accounted for just 8.6% of the radiative forcing increase from anthropogenic GHGs. I'm a bit worried about your failing memory, though. They say the mind is the second thing to go. https://sealevel.info/aggi_percentage_forcing_attribution_per_GHG_2022_annot1.png

@Willard1951 - James William Owens

@ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin @COP28_UAE I noted 6 days ago that the annual radiative forcing of methane was ~18% based on a quick look at the NOAA AGGI chart, Dave After showing you the AMS SoC tables, you now agree Yet, you still flounder and try to cover up your mistakes Why Dave?

@Willard1951 - James William Owens

@ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin @COP28_UAE Yes, the AMS SoC 2022 table was somewhat simpler with fewer minor GHGs With radiative forcing for 2022 in column #6 CO2 again row 1 = 2.3 W/m^2 CH4 row 2 = 0.56 W/m^2 About the same 4:1 ratio, as I've noted again & again

@Daniel_Marbella - Daniel

@Willard1951 @ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin James, if you read carefully, he claims about last 1/3 century, not since pre industrial times. After 1992 CH4 slope curves, adding just around 0,2 W/m^2 of radiative forcing in 30 years (0,0066 W/m^2/year). In fact, the effect of CH4 is truly magnified.

@Willard1951 - James William Owens

@Daniel_Marbella @ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin Dave is floundering, Dan Methane constitutes a significant human GHG emission and thus a significant contributor to the current warming of Earth's climate system

@Daniel_Marbella - Daniel

@Willard1951 @ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin According to modern evidence, CH4 only contributed about 0,6 W/m^2 since it was half nowaday concentration. And barely 0,7W/m^2 when doubled. The big factor as GHG is CO2.

@Willard1951 - James William Owens

@Daniel_Marbella @ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin As we noted in the thread on current contributions to radiative forcing CO2 ~65% CH4 ~18% And remember, CH4 has resumed its rise

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

1/4. We've been over this, Willard. According to NOAA's AGGI chart, over the last 1/3 century CH4 has accounted for just 8.6% of the radiative forcing increase from anthropogenic GHGs. Not 18% or 25%. That's about 1/10ᵗʰ of the contribution which we get from the ongoing rise in CO2. If that tiny contribution to modest and benign warming worries you, perhaps counseling would help.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

@Willard1951 @ProfMarkMaslin @COP28_UAE Willard wrote, "CH4 increase is now returned to the higher rate" False. CH4 is rising nowhere near the higher rate of the 1960s and 1970s. Why do make guesses like that, and assert them as facts, without bothering to do the arithmetic to check them? The arithmetic is pretty…

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

2/4. Here's the CH4 graph: https://sealevel.info/CH4.html https://sealevel.info/CH4_2012-2022_10.55_ppbv_per_yr.png Despite the modest uptick in CH4 level over the last 15 years, the rate of rise in CH4's radiative forcing is still much slower than it was 50-60 years ago. In the 1960s and 1970s the CH4 level rose relatively fast, and consequently CH4 was a larger contributor to radiative forcing increase.

CH4 since 1840 sealevel.info

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

3/4. The relatively sharp rise in CH4 level in the 1960s & 1970s was insufficient to reverse the worrisome 1950s-70s cooling trend. Here's a clip from CBS TV, in which Walter Cronkite, The Most Trusted Man in America™, reporting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4JX1S9YZBo Hubert Lamb (source for that CBS story) was the founding director of the UEA Climate Research Unit. Here's a 1974 CIA report, based on the best current science, about the worrisome cooling trend: climatemonitor.it/wp-content/upl… Here's an excerpt, from the Summary: "The western world's leading climatologists have confirmed recent reports of a detrimental global climatic change… during 50 of the last 60 years the Earth has, on the average, enjoyed the best agricultural climate since the eleventh century… The world is returning to the type of climate which has existed over the last 400 years. That is, the abnormal climate of agricultural-optimum is being replaced by a normal climate of the neo-boreal era. The climate change began in 1960…" The grim climate to which we were thought to be returning was the Little Ice Age. "Boreal" means cold: boreal. adj. Relating to or characteristic of the climatic zone south of the Arctic, especially the cold temperate region dominated by taiga and forests of birch, poplar, and conifers… ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ The global cooling scare was one of the main reasons for the shiny new anti-air-pollution laws governing power plants, in the 1970s. The other main reason was "acid rain." (Note: Unlike "acidified" oceans, which are actually alkaline, acid rain really is acidic.)

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

4/4. But, Willard, you said "current warming." The CH4 rise 50-60 years ago is irrelevant to that. 1. The main anthropogenic factors affecting it are CO2 & air pollution abatement. 2. The main natural factors are probably Hunga Tonga (1/2022) & El Niño. https://t.co/LDKUWm76lJ

reSee.it AI Summary

The IPCC, the leading organization behind the "climate emergency" campaign, faces credibility issues. Their recent AR6 Report promotes pseudoscience, rejecting real science. Concepts like TCRE and RCB are akin to homeopathy, believing in the memory of CO2's effect. However, only GHGs in the air have a warming effect. CO2 emissions have proven to be beneficial, not harmful. Claims of major harms are hypothetical and implausible. The evidence shows that extreme weather, such as hurricanes and droughts, is not worsening. The Earth's temperature has only risen by about 1.0 to 1.3°C since the Little Ice Age, which is a negligible change. The climate industry's alarmism seems driven by emotional needs and financial interests rather than genuine concern for the planet.

@DaveRheaume @CO2Coalition 10/25. Droughts have showed a slight decreasing trend, but they're substantially less destructive now, because elevated CO2 levels make plants more water-efficient and drought-resilient.

@rcbregman 17/ Also, elevated CO2 makes plants more water-efficient & drought-resilient, by improving CO2 stomatal conductance relative to transpiration. That's long-settled science among agronomists (though most climate scientists are apparently unfamiliar with it).

20/25. Actually, that's not what they pretend. They pretend less than half of that is a dire threat! What they call "1.5°C warming" is actually just 0.35°C warmer than present. That's because their baseline is an estimate of late Little Ice Age "pre-industrial" average temperature.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

Climate activists prioritize addressing the crisis, not just emissions. The $1.5 trillion/year invested in this cause is significant. Amplifying support for funding is crucial, as the climate industry requires substantial propaganda. China's CO2 emissions aren't their primary concern. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActivism

The reason climate activists aren't worried about China's CO2 emissions is that they aren't really worried much about emissions. They're mainly worried about keeping Piggy fed. They don't call it a crisis "for nothing." $1.5 trillion/year ain't "nothing." It's all about the Benjamins. They call it a crisis to amp up support for feeding Piggy.

Climate change does not make hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, or droughts worse. Sea-level trends are not significantly affected. Temperatures are slightly milder but not unprecedented. Past natural warming events were more rapid. CO2 emissions have positive consequences, like greening the Earth and improving food security. Rising CO2 levels benefit regions like the Sahel. Famines are now rare. CO2 fertilization increases crop yields. Balanced information is crucial to understanding climate change.

Climate and the Global Famine of 1876–78 Abstract From 1875 to 1878, concurrent multiyear droughts in Asia, Brazil, and Africa, referred to as the Great Drought, caused widespread crop failures, catalyzing the so-called Global Famine, which had fatalities exceeding 50 million people and long-lasting societal consequences. Observations, paleoclimate reconstructions, and climate model simulations are used 1) to demonstrate the severity and characterize the evolution of drought across different regions, and 2) to investigate the underlying mechanisms driving its multiyear persistence. Severe or record-setting droughts occurred on continents in both hemispheres and in multiple seasons, with the “Monsoon Asia” region being the hardest hit, experiencing the single most intense and the second most expansive drought in the last 800 years. The extreme severity, duration, and extent of this global event is associated with an extraordinary combination of preceding cool tropical Pacific conditions (1870–76), a record-breaking El Niño (1877–78), a record strong Indian Ocean dipole (1877), and record warm North Atlantic Ocean (1878) conditions. Composites of historical analogs and two sets of ensemble simulations—one forced with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and another forced with tropical Pacific SSTs—were used to distinguish the role of the extreme conditions in different ocean basins. While the drought in most regions was largely driven by the tropical Pacific SST conditions, an extreme positive phase of the Indian Ocean dipole and warm North Atlantic SSTs, both likely aided by the strong El Niño in 1877–78, intensified and prolonged droughts in Australia and Brazil, respectively, and extended the impact to northern and southeastern Africa. Climatic conditions that caused the Great Drought and Global Famine arose from natural variability, and their recurrence, with hydrological impacts intensified by global warming, could again potentially undermine global food security. journals.ametsoc.org

I believe there's little difference between Democrats and Trump when it comes to taxes and spending. Trump's massive federal deficit is alarming, and tariff revenue barely makes a dent. I see Trump as more like a Democrat, sharing traits with figures like Bill Clinton, but lacking his decorum. Both Trump and Biden exhibit cognitive decline and frequently lie, which is troubling. I miss principled conservative leadership and am frustrated by the GOP's abandonment of its values. While I recognize the flaws in both parties, I expect better from Republicans.

Remember when Biden thoughtfully defused the "Trump stolen top secret documents" issue, by getting caught with stolen top secret documents? Now Trump's returning the favor, thoughtfully defusing the "Biden elderly cognitive decline" issue, by showing signs of cognitive decline, himself. Maybe that's why he won't debate Haley. When Biden, of all people, or at least his campaign team, wants to talk about the issue of cognitive decline in elderly candidates, you know there's something seriously wrong with Trump. He sounds drunk, but he's famously a teetotaler, so it's not booze. Is he ill? Maybe he just took too much cold & flu medicine. I hope so! But I fear that it's a much deeper problem. Maybe that's why Scott & DeSantis endorsed him: they've seen how Trump is declining, and they're angling for the veep slot, figuring that he won't last four more years. Biden & Trump are much more alike than their allies are willing to admit. They're both elderly men showing signs of early dementia. They both lie with disturbing regularity and practiced ease. They're both divorced & remarried, and they're both rich old white guys. For both of them, a moist finger held in the wind is their only moral compass, and both of them have flip-flopped between being pro-life and radically pro-abortion, when it became politically expedient for them to change their views. Thankfully, Nikki Haley is not at all like them.

I shared my thoughts on climate discussions, emphasizing that the narrative around climate change often overlooks the benefits of CO2. I referenced studies showing that increased CO2 levels can enhance agricultural productivity and improve drought resilience. I noted that historical famines were linked to lower CO2 levels and highlighted positive environmental changes in regions like Africa. I believe the evidence suggests that manmade climate change is modest and that CO2 emissions are largely beneficial. I encourage seeking balanced information on this topic.

Elevated [CO2] mitigates the effect of surface drought by stimulating root growth to access sub-soil water Through stimulation of root growth, increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) may facilitate access of crops to sub-soil water, which could potentially prolong physiological activity in dryland environments, particularly because crops are more water use efficient under elevated [CO2] (e[CO2]). This study investigated the effect of drought in shallow soil versus sub-soil on agronomic and physiological responses of wheat to e[CO2] in a glasshouse experiment. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yitpi) was grown in split-columns with the top (0–30 cm) and bottom (31–60 cm; ‘sub-soil’) soil layer hydraulically separated by a wax-coated, root-penetrable layer under ambient [CO2] (a[CO2], ∼400 μmol mol-1) or e[CO2] (∼700 μmol mol-1) [CO2]. Drought was imposed from stem-elongation in either the top or bottom soil layer or both by withholding 33% of the irrigation, resulting in four water treatments (WW, WD, DW, DD; D = drought, W = well-watered, letters denote water treatment in top and bottom soil layer, respectively). Leaf gas exchange was measured weekly from stem-elongation until anthesis. Above-and belowground biomass, grain yield and yield components were evaluated at three developmental stages (stem-elongation, anthesis and maturity). Compared with a[CO2], net assimilation rate was higher and stomatal conductance was lower under e[CO2], resulting in greater intrinsic water use efficiency. Elevated [CO2] stimulated both above- and belowground biomass as well as grain yield, however, this stimulation was greater under well-watered (WW) than drought (DD) throughout the whole soil profile. Imposition of drought in either or both soil layers decreased aboveground biomass and grain yield under both [CO2] compared to the well-watered treatment. However, the greatest ‘CO2 fertilisation effect’ was observed when drought was imposed in the top soil layer only (DW), and this was associated with e[CO2]-stimulation of root growth especially in the well-watered bottom layer. We suggest that stimulation of belowground biomass under e[CO2] will allow better access to sub-soil water during grain filling period, when additional water is converted into additional yield with high efficiency in Mediterranean-type dryland agro-ecosystems. If sufficient water is available in the sub-soil, e[CO2] may help mitigating the effect of drying surface soil. journals.plos.org

I addressed Ian James's claim that climate change is worsening droughts in the U.S., stating it's inaccurate. Data shows droughts aren't worsening, and elevated CO2 levels actually help mitigate drought impacts by improving plants' water efficiency. This has contributed to a decline in catastrophic drought-induced famines, a significant historical change.

Climate and the Global Famine of 1876–78 Abstract From 1875 to 1878, concurrent multiyear droughts in Asia, Brazil, and Africa, referred to as the Great Drought, caused widespread crop failures, catalyzing the so-called Global Famine, which had fatalities exceeding 50 million people and long-lasting societal consequences. Observations, paleoclimate reconstructions, and climate model simulations are used 1) to demonstrate the severity and characterize the evolution of drought across different regions, and 2) to investigate the underlying mechanisms driving its multiyear persistence. Severe or record-setting droughts occurred on continents in both hemispheres and in multiple seasons, with the “Monsoon Asia” region being the hardest hit, experiencing the single most intense and the second most expansive drought in the last 800 years. The extreme severity, duration, and extent of this global event is associated with an extraordinary combination of preceding cool tropical Pacific conditions (1870–76), a record-breaking El Niño (1877–78), a record strong Indian Ocean dipole (1877), and record warm North Atlantic Ocean (1878) conditions. Composites of historical analogs and two sets of ensemble simulations—one forced with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and another forced with tropical Pacific SSTs—were used to distinguish the role of the extreme conditions in different ocean basins. While the drought in most regions was largely driven by the tropical Pacific SST conditions, an extreme positive phase of the Indian Ocean dipole and warm North Atlantic SSTs, both likely aided by the strong El Niño in 1877–78, intensified and prolonged droughts in Australia and Brazil, respectively, and extended the impact to northern and southeastern Africa. Climatic conditions that caused the Great Drought and Global Famine arose from natural variability, and their recurrence, with hydrological impacts intensified by global warming, could again potentially undermine global food security. journals.ametsoc.org

Elevated [CO2] mitigates the effect of surface drought by stimulating root growth to access sub-soil water Through stimulation of root growth, increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) may facilitate access of crops to sub-soil water, which could potentially prolong physiological activity in dryland environments, particularly because crops are more water use efficient under elevated [CO2] (e[CO2]). This study investigated the effect of drought in shallow soil versus sub-soil on agronomic and physiological responses of wheat to e[CO2] in a glasshouse experiment. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yitpi) was grown in split-columns with the top (0–30 cm) and bottom (31–60 cm; ‘sub-soil’) soil layer hydraulically separated by a wax-coated, root-penetrable layer under ambient [CO2] (a[CO2], ∼400 μmol mol-1) or e[CO2] (∼700 μmol mol-1) [CO2]. Drought was imposed from stem-elongation in either the top or bottom soil layer or both by withholding 33% of the irrigation, resulting in four water treatments (WW, WD, DW, DD; D = drought, W = well-watered, letters denote water treatment in top and bottom soil layer, respectively). Leaf gas exchange was measured weekly from stem-elongation until anthesis. Above-and belowground biomass, grain yield and yield components were evaluated at three developmental stages (stem-elongation, anthesis and maturity). Compared with a[CO2], net assimilation rate was higher and stomatal conductance was lower under e[CO2], resulting in greater intrinsic water use efficiency. Elevated [CO2] stimulated both above- and belowground biomass as well as grain yield, however, this stimulation was greater under well-watered (WW) than drought (DD) throughout the whole soil profile. Imposition of drought in either or both soil layers decreased aboveground biomass and grain yield under both [CO2] compared to the well-watered treatment. However, the greatest ‘CO2 fertilisation effect’ was observed when drought was imposed in the top soil layer only (DW), and this was associated with e[CO2]-stimulation of root growth especially in the well-watered bottom layer. We suggest that stimulation of belowground biomass under e[CO2] will allow better access to sub-soil water during grain filling period, when additional water is converted into additional yield with high efficiency in Mediterranean-type dryland agro-ecosystems. If sufficient water is available in the sub-soil, e[CO2] may help mitigating the effect of drying surface soil. journals.plos.org

1/7. This PBS piece is extremely misleading. Elevated CO2 greatly improves crop yields, and it mitigates drought impacts, by improving plants' water use efficiency (WUE) and drought resilience. See: https://www.masterresource.org/carbon-dioxide/co2-increased-water-use-efficiency/ I asked ChatGPT to explain the mechanism by which agronomists have found that elevated CO2 improves crops' WUE and drought resilience. It did a good job: ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍꧁꧂ In agronomy, the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use efficiency and drought resilience are extensively studied. One of the key mechanisms through which elevated CO2 levels improve water use efficiency is by reducing stomatal conductance and, consequently, water loss through transpiration. Stomata are small pores on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, including the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of water vapor through transpiration. When CO2 levels are elevated, plants can maintain the same or higher rate of photosynthesis while reducing stomatal conductance. This reduction in stomatal conductance leads to a decrease in water loss through transpiration without significantly affecting CO2 uptake, resulting in improved water use efficiency. Several studies have quantified the effect of elevated CO2 on stomatal conductance and transpiration. For example, a meta-analysis published in 2013 (Kimball et al., 2013) found that under elevated CO2 levels, stomatal conductance decreased by an average of 22%, while transpiration decreased by only 17%. This indicates that plants under elevated CO2 levels were able to reduce water loss more efficiently than they reduced CO2 uptake, leading to an overall improvement in water use efficiency. Improvements in water use efficiency due to elevated CO2 levels can increase plants' drought resilience by allowing them to maintain adequate hydration during periods of water scarcity. This can be particularly beneficial in arid and semi-arid regions where water availability is limited. Overall, the literature suggests that elevated CO2 levels can improve water use efficiency in plants by reducing stomatal conductance and water loss through transpiration, which can enhance their resilience to drought conditions.

How did Germany fare without Russian gas? | Brookings After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there was a heated debate in Germany about whether to embargo the import of Russian natural gas as a sanction against Russia’s aggression. Before Germany could act, Russian began cutting the flow of gas to Germany, eventually halting it entirely. On this episode of the Brookings Podcast on Economic Activity, Benjamin Moll and Georg Zachmann talk with Economic Studies Director Ben Harris about their BPEA paper on how Germany navigated this tense situation and their prior work that helped spur the “Great German Gas Debate.” brookings.edu

Elevated CO2 levels improve crop yields and mitigate drought impacts by enhancing water use efficiency and drought resilience. Studies show that elevated CO2 reduces stomatal conductance, resulting in decreased water loss through transpiration while maintaining or increasing photosynthesis. This improves water use efficiency and can enhance plants' ability to withstand drought conditions. Rising CO2 levels have contributed to a decrease in the damage caused by droughts, making catastrophic famines less common. Ending famine is comparable to ending war or disease, highlighting the significance of these improvements. The scientific evidence suggests that manmade climate change is modest and CO2 emissions are beneficial. To understand climate change, it is important to seek balanced information from reliable sources.

1/7. This PBS piece is extremely misleading. Elevated CO2 greatly improves crop yields, and it mitigates drought impacts, by improving plants' water use efficiency (WUE) and drought resilience. See: https://masterresource.org/carbon-dioxide/co2-increased-water-use-efficiency/ I asked ChatGPT to explain the mechanism by which agronomists have found that elevated CO2 improves crops' WUE and drought resilience. It did a good job: ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍꧁꧂ In agronomy, the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use efficiency and drought resilience are extensively studied. One of the key mechanisms through which elevated CO2 levels improve water use efficiency is by reducing stomatal conductance and, consequently, water loss through transpiration. Stomata are small pores on the surface of plant leaves that regulate gas exchange, including the uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of water vapor through transpiration. When CO2 levels are elevated, plants can maintain the same or higher rate of photosynthesis while reducing stomatal conductance. This reduction in stomatal conductance leads to a decrease in water loss through transpiration without significantly affecting CO2 uptake, resulting in improved water use efficiency. Several studies have quantified the effect of elevated CO2 on stomatal conductance and transpiration. For example, a meta-analysis published in 2013 (Kimball et al., 2013) found that under elevated CO2 levels, stomatal conductance decreased by an average of 22%, while transpiration decreased by only 17%. This indicates that plants under elevated CO2 levels were able to reduce water loss more efficiently than they reduced CO2 uptake, leading to an overall improvement in water use efficiency. Improvements in water use efficiency due to elevated CO2 levels can increase plants' drought resilience by allowing them to maintain adequate hydration during periods of water scarcity. This can be particularly beneficial in arid and semi-arid regions where water availability is limited. Overall, the literature suggests that elevated CO2 levels can improve water use efficiency in plants by reducing stomatal conductance and water loss through transpiration, which can enhance their resilience to drought conditions.

CO2 Enrichment Improves Plant Water-Use Efficiency - Master Resource “Gratefully, nature does not have to wait another century or so for the air’s CO2 concentration to double before reaping benefits from enhanced water use efficiency.

Scientific papers supporting the modest and benign nature of manmade climate change and the benefits of CO2 emissions are mentioned. Satellite altimetry measurements are questioned due to their limitations and malleability. Coastal measurements, on the other hand, show little acceleration in sea-level trends.

They illustrate how negligible the sea-level trend is. https://sealevel.info/moana_hotel_1925_vs_now.png (Caveat: the widening of Waikiki Beach in front of the Moana Surfrider Hotel is due to a sand renourishment project. Ignore that, please. It's the negligible change in the elevation of the hotel above sea-level that I want you to notice.)

6/9. The study which NASAClimate is hyping is based on satellite altimetry, not coastal measurements. https://sealevel.info/satellite_altimetry.html Coastal (tide gauge) measurements provide much higher quality data. Measurement of sea-level by satellite altimetry has many problems, which do not affect coastal measurements. One problem is that the satellites only measure sea-level far out to sea. They cannot measure sea-level near the coasts, where it matters. Also, satellite altimetry measurement records are generally only about a decade long. In contrast, many coastal measurement records are over a century long. Also, satellite altimetry measurements have proven to be disturbingly malleable. The very same data can show acceleration, deceleration, or linearity, depending on how it is processed! Here's an example from a 2014 paper, which turned apparent deceleration into linearity, by changing ("correcting") the measurements. https://sealevel.info/nclimate2159-f1_large_trimmed1.png A subsequent paper then turned the linear trend into an acceleration, by a combination of additional corrections and a little bit of additional data: https://sealevel.info/2017GL073308_fig4_scaled2match2.png The 2012 Envisat revisions were especially striking: https://sealevel.info/envisat_msl_correction_from_esa02.png A widely-hyped 2018 paper by U. Colorado's Dr. Steve Nerem et al claimed to have discovered “acceleration” in the satellite altimetry measurement record of sea-level. They did it by reducing the rate of measured sea-level rise in 20 year-old Topex-Poseidon data, thereby making more recent measurements appear to have accelerated, by comparison.

Nobel Laureate Svante Arrhenius, known as "The father of climate change," believed that CO2 emissions and rising CO2 levels would be beneficial. Some argue against this view, labeling those who disagree as "science denying idiots." Scientific evidence supports Arrhenius' claims, showing that rising CO2 levels have positive effects on the environment, including greening the Earth, improving crop yields, and benefiting natural ecosystems. Resources are available for those seeking balanced information on the topic of climate change. The CO2 Coalition, an organization of volunteer scientists, provides valuable resources and aims to combat disinformation and corruption in the field.

Most plants utilize C3 photosynthesis, and agronomy studies show that for C3 crops the CO2 fertilization benefit is highly linear as CO2 levels rise, until above about 1000 ppmv (which is far higher than we could ever hope to drive outdoor CO2 levels by burning fossil fuels). That linearity is obvious in the green (C3) trace, in this graph: https://sealevel.info/C3_and_C4_Pflanze_vs_CO2_Konzentration_1750_1984_2018_2019.png Here's a study about wheat (a C3 crop): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26929390 Fitzgerald GJ, et al. (2016) Elevated atmospheric [CO2] can dramatically increase wheat yields in semi-arid environments and buffer against heat waves. Glob Chang Biol. 22(6):2269-84. doi:10.1111/gcb.13263. Plants (and animals) are carbon-based lifeforms. Plants get the carbon they need from CO2 in the air; CO2 is, literally, plant food. The higher the CO2 level, the less air plants must process through their stomata, and the less water they lose in the process (transpiration). Elevated CO2 improves plants' WUE and drought resilience by improving CO2 stomatal conductance relative to transpiration. So eCO2 is especially beneficial in arid regions, and especially beneficial for crops which are under drought stress. Corn (maize) has been very heavily studied. Even though it is a C4 grass (and C4 plants are better at enduring low CO2 levels), corn benefits greatly from elevated CO2, especially under drought stress. Here's a paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Chun et al. (2011). Effect of elevated carbon dioxide and water stress on gas exchange and water use efficiency in corn. Agric For Meteorol 151(3), pp 378-384, ISSN 0168-1923. doi:10.1016/j.agrformet.2010.11.015. EXCERPT: "There have been many studies on the interaction of CO2 and water on plant growth. Under elevated CO2, less water is used to produce each unit of dry matter by reducing stomatal conductance." That improvement is one of several major reasons that catastrophic drought-triggered famines are fading from living memory, for the first time in history. If you're too young to remember huge, devastating, drought-triggered famines, count yourself blessed. Through all of human history, until very recently, famine was one of the great scourges of mankind, the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse. But no more. That is a miracle! Here's the data: https://ourworldindata.org/famines https://sealevel.info/Famine-death-rate-since-1860s-revised-annot1.png Ending famine is a VERY Big Deal, comparable to ending war and disease. Compare: ● Covid-19 killed 0.1% of world population. ● 1918 flu pandemic killed about 2%. ● WWII killed 2.7%. ● The near-global drought and famine of 1876-78 killed about 3.7% of the world population. https://sealevel.info/C3_and_C4_Pflanze_vs_CO2_Konzentration_1750_1984_2018_2019.png https://sealevel.info/Famine-death-rate-since-1860s-revised-annot1.png

1/10. Where on earth do you "learn" such nonsense, Willard? Growing ranges for most major crops cover climate zones with average temperatures that vary by tens of °C. Major crops like corn, wheat, potatoes & soybeans are produced from Mexico to Canada. Compared to that, a degree or two of warming (disproportionately at night, in winter, at chilly high latitudes) is de minimis -- as is the 0.35±0.13°C between now and what the IPCC calls "1.5°C of warming").

Recent increases in terrestrial carbon uptake at little cost to the water cycle - Nature Communications Quantifying the responses of the coupled carbon and water cycles to current global warming and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration is crucial for predicting and adapting to climate changes. Here we show that terrestrial carbon uptake (i.e. gross primary production) increased significantly from 1982 to 2011 using a combination of ground-based and remotely sensed land and atmospheric observations. Importantly, we find that the terrestrial carbon uptake increase is not accompanied by a proportional increase in water use (i.e. evapotranspiration) but is largely (about 90%) driven by increased carbon uptake per unit of water use, i.e. water use efficiency. The increased water use efficiency is positively related to rising CO2 concentration and increased canopy leaf area index, and negatively influenced by increased vapour pressure deficits. Our findings suggest that rising atmospheric CO2 concentration has caused a shift in terrestrial water economics of carbon uptake. The response of the coupled carbon and water cycles to anthropogenic climate change is unclear. Here, the authors show that terrestrial carbon uptake increased significantly from 1982 to 2011 and that this increase is largely driven by increased water-use efficiency, rather than an increase in water use. nature.com

8.1/10. Aside: for agricultural plants, carbon absorption is roughly proportional to crop yield, so a +17% increase in carbon uptake from a mere 55 ppmv (16%) rise in CO2 level strongly suggests that crop yield improvements from elevated CO2 are much greater than the +20% conservative estimate which I previously mentioned.

The conversation discusses the benefits of rising CO2 levels for agriculture and the potential negative impact of bad governance. It also mentions instances where climate alarmism has led to humanitarian and economic disasters. The conversation highlights the perceived war against agriculture by leftist politicians and climate activists. The participants discuss the impact of CO2 fertilization on crop yields and present data on cereal and cassava yields in Niger. The conversation concludes by asserting that elevated CO2 is beneficial for agriculture and criticizing climate activists for denying this fact.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

You're in denial of thousands of rigorous agronomy studies, over more than a century, which have measured the very large benefits of rising CO2 levels for agriculture. Of course, despite the benefits of elevated CO2, it's still possible to destroy agricultural productivity with bad governance. https://twitter-thread.com/t/1719372491536085167 Mao demonstrated that 60+ years ago, in pursuit of socialist utopia. Gotabaya Rajapaksa proved it again in Sri Lanka in 2021. Sri Lanka's humanitarian and economic disaster is the poison fruit of climate alarmism. Leftist politicians and climate activists are doing their best to lower crop yields, and return us to the days of mass famines. Most young people don't know much history, so they don't know what that's like. They're in for a very rude awakening, if the climate activists get their way. Compare: ● Covid-19 has killed about 0.1% of world population, so far ● The 1918 flu killed ≈2% ● WWII killed ≈2.7% ● But the global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed an estimated 3.7% of world population Dutch farmers are some of the most productive in the world, but their leftist, climate-conscious government is doing their best to end that: https://reuters.com/business/environment/dutch-farmers-protest-plan-curb-nitrogen-pollution-2022-06-22/ So is Baby Trudeau's leftist, climate-conscious government in Canada: https://agweb.com/news/policy/politics/new-policy-forces-canadian-producers-cut-back-fertilizer The Left and the Climate Industry are at war against agriculture, and against against humanity https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=famine#famine In fact, the Climate Industry is ultimately at war against science itself. The IPCC's 2022 AR6 Report explicitly promotes homeopathic climatology (TCRE/RCB), which is just as unscientific as it sounds. Eli Rabett @EthonRaptor won't answer the question; so how about you, Willard? Do you agree with AR6 that CO2 which was FORMERLY in the air STILL has a warming effect? Or do you reject the IPCC's unscientific homeopathic climatology? Climate activists are like modern Lysenkoists, pretending to be scientific, while shredding real science.

1/7. The only trace on that graph which does not show large improvement in cereal yield per hectare is the trace for Niger. The graph ended with an anomalously bad crop year for cereals in Niger (2021). Fortunately, 2022 was much better; here's an article https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2023/06/19/niger-strong-agricultural-season-boosts-economic-rebound-in-2022

Niger: Strong Agricultural Season Boosts Economic Rebound in 2022 Niger's economy recovered strongly in 2022 after two years of weak growth. This is primarily due to a good agricultural season, thanks to favorable rainfall and an expansion of irrigated land. However, there are uncertainties and risks that could affect future growth, such as the security situation and climatic shocks. These are the findings of the World Bank’s latest economic update for Niger published today. worldbank.org

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

2/7. By displaying high productivity countries like the USA along with Niger, you forced OurWorldInData to scale the graphs so that it's hard to see the trend in Niger. But if you display Niger alone, as I've done here, you'll see that cereal yields declined there until about thirty years ago, but they've improved since then (except for 2021).

The other major staple crop in Niger is cassava. Its yields have improved considerably. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cassava_yield_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

4/7. That's probably because cassava benefits tremendously from additional CO2, especially in the dry conditions which are prevalent in most of Niger. Here's a paper about it: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03650340.2018.1446523 Cruz et al 2018. Elevated CO2 reduces whole transpiration and substantially improves root production of cassava grown under water deficit.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

5/7. Most of Niger is desert or near-desert, which means most of its land is poorly suited for growing crops. Over the 60 year period shown, Niger's population increased by about 640%. As a result, the amount of land under cultivation drastically increased, resulting in more marginal land being put to the plow. That, of course, can be expected to lower the average cereal yield per hectare. Nevertheless, other than a bad year in 2021, yields there have been improving since the mid 1990s. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cereal_production_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

You're in denial of thousands of rigorous agronomy studies, over more than a century, which have measured the very large benefits of rising CO2 levels for agriculture. Of course, despite the benefits of elevated CO2, it's still possible to destroy agricultural productivity with bad governance. https://twitter-thread.com/t/1719372491536085167 Mao demonstrated that 60+ years ago, in pursuit of socialist utopia. Gotabaya Rajapaksa proved it again in Sri Lanka in 2021. Sri Lanka's humanitarian and economic disaster is the poison fruit of climate alarmism. Leftist politicians and climate activists are doing their best to lower crop yields, and return us to the days of mass famines. Most young people don't know much history, so they don't know what that's like. They're in for a very rude awakening, if the climate activists get their way. Compare: ● Covid-19 has killed about 0.1% of world population, so far ● The 1918 flu killed ≈2% ● WWII killed ≈2.7% ● But the global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed an estimated 3.7% of world population Dutch farmers are some of the most productive in the world, but their leftist, climate-conscious government is doing their best to end that: https://reuters.com/business/environment/dutch-farmers-protest-plan-curb-nitrogen-pollution-2022-06-22/ So is Baby Trudeau's leftist, climate-conscious government in Canada: https://agweb.com/news/policy/politics/new-policy-forces-canadian-producers-cut-back-fertilizer The Left and the Climate Industry are at war against agriculture, and against against humanity https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=famine#famine In fact, the Climate Industry is ultimately at war against science itself. The IPCC's 2022 AR6 Report explicitly promotes homeopathic climatology (TCRE/RCB), which is just as unscientific as it sounds. Eli Rabett @EthonRaptor won't answer the question; so how about you, Willard? Do you agree with AR6 that CO2 which was FORMERLY in the air STILL has a warming effect? Or do you reject the IPCC's unscientific homeopathic climatology? Climate activists are like modern Lysenkoists, pretending to be scientific, while shredding real science. Or are you going to pretend there's anything scientific about GISS "climate scientist" @DrKateMarvel Kate Marvel's "intersectional science"? https://sealevel.info/intersectional_blah_blah_blah.html

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

1/7. The only trace on that graph which does not show large improvement in cereal yield per hectare is the trace for Niger. The graph ended with an anomalously bad crop year for cereals in Niger (2021). Fortunately, 2022 was much better; here's an article https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2023/06/19/niger-strong-agricultural-season-boosts-economic-rebound-in-2022

Niger: Strong Agricultural Season Boosts Economic Rebound in 2022 Niger's economy recovered strongly in 2022 after two years of weak growth. This is primarily due to a good agricultural season, thanks to favorable rainfall and an expansion of irrigated land. However, there are uncertainties and risks that could affect future growth, such as the security situation and climatic shocks. These are the findings of the World Bank’s latest economic update for Niger published today. worldbank.org

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

2/7. By displaying high productivity countries like the USA along with Niger, you forced OurWorldInData to scale the graphs so that it's hard to see the trend in Niger. But if you display Niger alone, as I've done here, you'll see that cereal yields declined there until about thirty years ago, but they've improved since then (except for 2021).

The other major staple crop in Niger is cassava. Its yields have improved considerably. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cassava_yield_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

4/7. That's probably because cassava benefits tremendously from additional CO2, especially in the dry conditions which are prevalent in most of Niger. Here's a paper about it: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03650340.2018.1446523 Cruz et al 2018. Elevated CO2 reduces whole transpiration and substantially improves root production of cassava grown under water deficit. Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science 64: 1623-1634. doi:10.1080/03650340.2018.1446523

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

5/7. Most of Niger is desert or near-desert, which means most of its land is poorly suited for growing crops. Over the 60 year period shown, Niger's population increased by about 640%. As a result, the amount of land under cultivation drastically increased, resulting in more marginal land being put to the plow. That, of course, can be expected to lower the average cereal yield per hectare. Nevertheless, other than a bad year in 2021, yields there have been improving since the mid 1990s. https://sealevel.info/Niger_Cereal_production_1961-2021_OourWorldInData.png

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

6/7. That's probably because of the well-known fact that, in addition to improving production by CO2 fertilization, rising CO2 levels improve crops' water use efficiency and drought resilience. Here's a paper about wheat: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gcb.13263 Fitzgerald GJ, et al.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

I'm glad you finally understand that, according to NOAA's AGGI chart, over the last 1/3 century CH4 has accounted for just 8.6% of the radiative forcing increase from anthropogenic GHGs. I'm a bit worried about your failing memory, though. They say the mind is the second thing to go. https://sealevel.info/aggi_percentage_forcing_attribution_per_GHG_2022_annot1.png

@Willard1951 - James William Owens

@ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin @COP28_UAE I noted 6 days ago that the annual radiative forcing of methane was ~18% based on a quick look at the NOAA AGGI chart, Dave After showing you the AMS SoC tables, you now agree Yet, you still flounder and try to cover up your mistakes Why Dave?

@Willard1951 - James William Owens

@ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin @COP28_UAE Yes, the AMS SoC 2022 table was somewhat simpler with fewer minor GHGs With radiative forcing for 2022 in column #6 CO2 again row 1 = 2.3 W/m^2 CH4 row 2 = 0.56 W/m^2 About the same 4:1 ratio, as I've noted again & again

@Daniel_Marbella - Daniel

@Willard1951 @ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin James, if you read carefully, he claims about last 1/3 century, not since pre industrial times. After 1992 CH4 slope curves, adding just around 0,2 W/m^2 of radiative forcing in 30 years (0,0066 W/m^2/year). In fact, the effect of CH4 is truly magnified.

@Willard1951 - James William Owens

@Daniel_Marbella @ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin Dave is floundering, Dan Methane constitutes a significant human GHG emission and thus a significant contributor to the current warming of Earth's climate system

@Daniel_Marbella - Daniel

@Willard1951 @ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin According to modern evidence, CH4 only contributed about 0,6 W/m^2 since it was half nowaday concentration. And barely 0,7W/m^2 when doubled. The big factor as GHG is CO2.

@Willard1951 - James William Owens

@Daniel_Marbella @ncdave4life @ProfMarkMaslin As we noted in the thread on current contributions to radiative forcing CO2 ~65% CH4 ~18% And remember, CH4 has resumed its rise

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

1/4. We've been over this, Willard. According to NOAA's AGGI chart, over the last 1/3 century CH4 has accounted for just 8.6% of the radiative forcing increase from anthropogenic GHGs. Not 18% or 25%. That's about 1/10ᵗʰ of the contribution which we get from the ongoing rise in CO2. If that tiny contribution to modest and benign warming worries you, perhaps counseling would help.

@ncdave4life - ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 Dave Burton

@Willard1951 @ProfMarkMaslin @COP28_UAE Willard wrote, "CH4 increase is now returned to the higher rate" False. CH4 is rising nowhere near the higher rate of the 1960s and 1970s. Why do make guesses like that, and assert them as facts, without bothering to do the arithmetic to check them? The arithmetic is pretty…

Here's the CH4 graph: https://sealevel.info/CH4.html https://sealevel.info/CH4_2012-2022_10.55_ppbv_per_yr.png Despite the modest uptick in CH4 level over the last 15 years, the rate of rise in CH4's radiative forcing is still much slower than it was 50-60 years ago. In the 1960s and 1970s the CH4 level rose relatively fast, and consequently CH4 was a larger contributor to radiative forcing increase.

3/4. The relatively sharp rise in CH4 level in the 1960s & 1970s was insufficient to reverse the worrisome 1950s-70s cooling trend. Here's a clip from CBS TV, in which Walter Cronkite, The Most Trusted Man in America™, reporting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4JX1S9YZBo Hubert Lamb (source for that CBS story) was the founding director of the UEA Climate Research Unit. Here's a 1974 CIA report, based on the best current science, about the worrisome cooling trend: climatemonitor.it/wp-content/upl… Here's an excerpt, from the Summary: "The western world's leading climatologists have confirmed recent reports of a detrimental global climatic change… during 50 of the last 60 years the Earth has, on the average, enjoyed the best agricultural climate since the eleventh century… The world is returning to the type of climate which has existed over the last 400 years. That is, the abnormal climate of agricultural-optimum is being replaced by a normal climate of the neo-boreal era. The climate change began in 1960…" The grim climate to which we were thought to be returning was the Little Ice Age. "Boreal" means cold: boreal. adj. Relating to or characteristic of the climatic zone south of the Arctic, especially the cold temperate region dominated by taiga and forests of birch, poplar, and conifers… ‍‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ The global cooling scare was one of the main reasons for the shiny new anti-air-pollution laws governing power plants, in the 1970s. The other main reason was "acid rain." (Note: Unlike "acidified" oceans, which are actually alkaline, acid rain really is acidic.)

The IPCC, the leading organization behind the "climate emergency" campaign, faces credibility issues. Their recent AR6 Report promotes pseudoscience, rejecting real science. Concepts like TCRE and RCB are akin to homeopathy, believing in the memory of CO2's effect. However, only GHGs in the air have a warming effect. CO2 emissions have proven to be beneficial, not harmful. Claims of major harms are hypothetical and implausible. The evidence shows that extreme weather, such as hurricanes and droughts, is not worsening. The Earth's temperature has only risen by about 1.0 to 1.3°C since the Little Ice Age, which is a negligible change. The climate industry's alarmism seems driven by emotional needs and financial interests rather than genuine concern for the planet.

Climate and the Global Famine of 1876–78 Abstract From 1875 to 1878, concurrent multiyear droughts in Asia, Brazil, and Africa, referred to as the Great Drought, caused widespread crop failures, catalyzing the so-called Global Famine, which had fatalities exceeding 50 million people and long-lasting societal consequences. Observations, paleoclimate reconstructions, and climate model simulations are used 1) to demonstrate the severity and characterize the evolution of drought across different regions, and 2) to investigate the underlying mechanisms driving its multiyear persistence. Severe or record-setting droughts occurred on continents in both hemispheres and in multiple seasons, with the “Monsoon Asia” region being the hardest hit, experiencing the single most intense and the second most expansive drought in the last 800 years. The extreme severity, duration, and extent of this global event is associated with an extraordinary combination of preceding cool tropical Pacific conditions (1870–76), a record-breaking El Niño (1877–78), a record strong Indian Ocean dipole (1877), and record warm North Atlantic Ocean (1878) conditions. Composites of historical analogs and two sets of ensemble simulations—one forced with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and another forced with tropical Pacific SSTs—were used to distinguish the role of the extreme conditions in different ocean basins. While the drought in most regions was largely driven by the tropical Pacific SST conditions, an extreme positive phase of the Indian Ocean dipole and warm North Atlantic SSTs, both likely aided by the strong El Niño in 1877–78, intensified and prolonged droughts in Australia and Brazil, respectively, and extended the impact to northern and southeastern Africa. Climatic conditions that caused the Great Drought and Global Famine arose from natural variability, and their recurrence, with hydrological impacts intensified by global warming, could again potentially undermine global food security. journals.ametsoc.org

reSee.it AI Summary

Wind and solar energy are often touted as cheaper alternatives to fossil fuels, but this is misleading. While their prices may be low, their unreliability leads to spikes in electricity costs. Dependence on renewables also worsens grid reliability without providing any significant environmental benefits. The truth is, the climate crisis is exaggerated, and CO2 emissions are more beneficial than harmful.

The claim that wind and solar energy are less expensive than electricity from dispatchable sources like fossil fuels is false. It's a product of either economic illiteracy or deliberate deception by the renewable energy marketers, because it confuses price with total cost. You've probably heard the old saying that there's nothing more expensive than a free puppy, except a free boat. Wind and solar energy are like that: it's not their price which makes them costly. The reason average wind and solar electricity prices are low is they tend to produce power when it is not needed. Power produced when it isn't needed fetches low prices. But it's the converse which is the big problem with wind and solar: they very often do not produce power when it is needed. That unreliability causes enormous spikes in electricity prices. During those price spikes most of the electricity being produced is generated by fossil fuels and nuclear plants. Wind and solar apologists pretend that means electricity from fossil fuels and nuclear plants is expensive. But the real reason for the high prices is replacement of reliable fossil fuel and nuclear plants with unreliable wind and solar. Exorbitant electricity prices are an inevitable cost of reliance on wind and solar for electricity. Fossil fuel and nuclear powered electricity generation is said to be "dispatchable," because their electricity production can be ramped up ("dispatched") to meet demand. Wind & solar output cannot be ramped up to meet demand, so increased reliance on wind and solar means increasingly unreliable electricity production. When demand increases and/or the wind dies, reliance on wind and solar causes enormous spikes in the price of electricity — or, in extreme cases, even brownouts and blackouts. The inevitable consequences of increasing reliance on wind and solar "renewables" are rising electricity prices and worsening grid reliability — and absolutely no environmental benefit. That's right: the punch line is that it's all for naught. The rationale for the immensely destructive transition to wind and solar is to "fight climate change." But that's a fool's errand, because the "climate crisis" is a marketing ploy. It's not real, it's just "FUD." The scientific evidence is compelling that manmade climate change is modest and benign, and CO2 emissions are highly beneficial, rather than harmful. Does that surprise you? If so, it means you're not getting balanced information.

“However, this improvement was surpassed by that of solar PV. This renewable power source was 710% more expensive than the cheapest fossil fuel-fired solution in 2010 but cost 29% less than the cheapest fossil fuel-fired solution in 2022” @ABDanielleSmith #abpoli
