In order for CO2 to mimic the Greenhouse effect there must be sufficient molecules of CO2 to cause that to happen. That CO2 has been increasing since the Industrial Revolution 200 years ago is not sufficient to cause that effect. Commercial greenhouses pump CO2 to stimulate their plant growth at levels far above what exists in the world. Also we know that CO2 levels were much higher in the geologic past which matches higher vegetation growth seen in the fossil record. After 200 years of industrialization the level of CO2 has barely increased. Couple that with uncertainty as to the veracity of current temperature data and the correlation with CO2 to temperature is less than concrete.

Air-conditioning may indeed be a modern necessity that many of us who live in hot parts of the world can’t survive without. But it is also a technology of forgetting. Once upon a time, people understood the dangers of extreme heat and designed ways to live with it. And now, as temperatures rise as a result of our hellbent consumption of fossil fuels, tens of thousands of lives may depend on remembering how that was done. Or finding better ways to do it. The Heat Wave Scenario That Keeps Climate Scientists Up at Night https://lnkd.in/e6WBkkCW

🌡️ 2023 became the hottest year in history, with an average temperature 1.2°C above the 20th century average. Is it a big surprise? 🤔 This chart from NOAA Climate.gov shows a clear correlation between atmospheric CO2 concentrations 📈 and the average global surface temperature 🌍. The trend is self-explanatory and anticipates the record-breaking figures of 2023. Here is a simple evidence of climate change and its direct link to human activities, serving as a useful tool to convince people that we must start making changes before it's too late ⏳. From time to time, for individuals, organizations, and mission-driven companies like ClimeRock, it’s essential to remember why we are committed to reducing the atmospheric CO2 level. 🌱 Link to the articles (related to the chart and 2023 map and figures) in the comments. 👇

Growth in CO2 levels just hit a new year-on-year high. The major parties seem trapped by their vested interests and paying only lip service to climate action. I think credible I ndependents are our best hope. We can energise, mobilise and vote for a safe planet. I’d love your thoughts on my latest blog.👇🏽 https://lnkd.in/eR6gtg-e

🌿 From coast to coast, US forests face a changing landscape. Climate change looms large, but so does the impact of nitrogen and sulfur deposition. Learn from #EPAers who delve into county-level projections, revealing how temperature, precipitation, & deposition impacts could reshape carbon stored in living plant tissues located above the earth's surface.

There is a heck of a lot to process in Carbon Brief's latest State of the Climate review. There's this for starters: "It was the warmest year on record by a large margin – at between 1.34C and 1.54C above pre-industrial levels across different temperature datasets." The article also covers ocean heat content, atmospheric temperatures, greenhouse gas concentrations, sea level rise, glacier melt, sea ice extent, how models compare with observed temperatures, the role of El Nino, and even predictions for 2024. https://lnkd.in/d-MEFitm

You may not be aware of Climate Reanalyzer from the University of Maine. Every day or so it updates various temperature series to give a long term understanding of how our climate is changing. Here's the website: https://lnkd.in/eGVXB5ZF Sea surface temperatures are really important, because oceans cover 70% of Earth's surface, and they tell us how much solar radiation is being absorbed, and stored for later release, and much much more. This graph tells us that we have exactly 13 calendar months of record average global temperatures.

The overshoot scenario: is it a fantasy? In a recent piece for The Conversation UK, associate professors Wim Carton and Andreas Malm of Lund University who authored the book "Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown," share a history and critique of the idea that allowing global temperatures to rise above 1.5 C and then lowering them again by removing carbon from the atmosphere after the fact is the same as meeting the target in the first place. 💡 Read more about this and other views on the #energytransition from Kathari.News Perspectives: https://lnkd.in/d48AVNqa
