No interest or can’t

NASA – November 2020 was the warmest November recorded

Data.GISS: Data and Images

Gavin Schmidt - Only one month to go, but with the warm Nov. numbers & despite the evolving La Niña, the likelihood of a new annual record in GISTEMP is now > 90%. The confidence intervals (related to coverage, homogenization, etc.) will v. likely overlap with 2016.: https://twitter.com/ClimateOfGavin/s...18056457396226

Actually I have no interest in working anything out for you. If you were to actually read the information I put up you would see that it is becoming evident eliminating fossil fuels is not enough existing carbon will have to be removed to meet the goal to reverse climate change.

You can't work it out because you're a senile fucking moron. All of those existing trucks and cars will be phased out over time, renewable fuels are in development for air travel. I'm guessing you haven't heard about electric trains, since you're evidently stuck in the fucking 50's.

Fossil Fuels make up 30 Gigatonnes of CO2 emissions.

You've already posted that it costs $530 MILLION to capture one million tonnes.

Ergo it would cost around 16 TRILLION dollars.

Who is going to pay for this crackpot scheme of yours?

I see you think have it all worked out but there seems to be a few problems with your solution.

Have you considered how long overtime actually is?

Have you factored into your solution what the underdeveloped countries will be able to do as to replacing fossil fuels.

According to your so called experts we have very few years to implement all of these changes do you really believe changes of this magnitude can be completed in that short amount of time.

I do think your the one with the crackpot scheme.

Underdeveloped countries aren't massive consumers of fossil fuels or massive polluters you moron. The ones with the capacity to build hugely expensive carbon capture white elephants are also the ones that can build and ship renewable generation infrastructure. And more and more vehicle manufacturers are switching to EVs. Not to mention biofuels.

According to your so called experts we have very few years to implement all of these changes do you really believe changes of this magnitude can be completed in that short amount of time.

Why do you think building 30 gigatonnes of carbon capture is going to be quick?

I do think your the one with the crackpot scheme.

Yes but you're senile and a retard as you keep proving.

So underdeveloped countries will still be using fossil fuels?

How much time is over time you stated certain things would be developed over time.

It is quite clear you do not have any idea of the magnitude of implementing all the things you you are talking about. You say the underdeveloped countries arenÂ’t large consumers of fossil fuels but the do use fossil fuels when the production of fossil fuels is eliminated are the y just left to back to the dark ages?

What you propose would be decades in coming yet according to all the computer modeling shows we are already out of time.

How dense are you?

Countries like Albania and Congo are already 100% powered by renewables.

Add EVs and biofuels into the mix and they don't need any fossil fuels at all.

You keep spouting this fucking nonsense about the dangers of abandoning fossil fuels like the dopey little Republican drone that you are.

Actually I am just looking at realistically you have this wild idea of just flicking a switch and poof no more fossil fuel. News for you it is not going to happen in the foreseeable future.

US Federal Reserve joins multinational climate group

The Federal Reserve said Tuesday that it has joined a three-year-old network of central banks working to manage climate-related risks to the financial system and help mobilize low-carbon investments.

Why it matters: The Fed board's unanimous vote to join the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System shows how the Fed has increasingly been devoting attention to the topic.

The big picture: "As we develop our understanding of how best to assess the impact of climate change on the financial system, we look forward to continuing and deepening our discussions with our NGFS colleagues from around the world," Fed chairman Jerome Powell said in a statement.

Catch up fast: Reuters points out that the Fed had been the "only major global central bank" other than India's not to join.

But the Fed had already been working with the coalition on an informal basis, and it's the latest step in a growing push by the Fed and its branches to become more active in the topic.

Those efforts included a climate conference hosted last year by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

Powell, in a letter to lawmakers last year, noted severe weather can not only "devastate" local economies, including banks, but also "temporarily affect national economic output and employment."

Last month, for the first time, the Fed included climate among the risks described in its formal Financial Stability Report.

What we're watching: How much the Fed may deepen its involvement on climate in other ways, especially as incoming President Joe Biden makes nominations to the board.

There's already pressure from Democrats and environmentalists for a more aggressive posture.

Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii said in a statement that the Fed should follow up its decision to join with "concrete steps" on managing climate risks.

"That includes setting clear supervisory expectations for how banks should manage their climate risk exposure, and using tools like stress testing to hold them accountable," said Schatz, a member of the Senate Banking Committee.: Federal Reserve joins multinational climate group - Axios

No it isn't because the fossil fuel industry keep pumping the "climate change is false" narrative for witless fuckers like yourself, aided by corrupt Republicans who block all climate change legislation at the bidding of their sponsors.

Thankfully Biden will be reversing all that damage on the 21st January.

I think you have your hopes to high nothing Biden can do will change the fact that completely eliminating fossil fuels is a massive task that will take decades to accomplish thus the need for alternative methods of eliminating co2 in the atmosphere.

New climate models suggest faster melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet

Greenland’s vast ice sheet could melt faster than previously thought over the 21st century, according to a new study.

The Greenland ice sheet is the second largest mass of ice on Earth, holding enough water to raise global sea levels by 7.2 metres. Even if warming in the coming decades is kept to low levels, melting from the Greenland ice sheet is expected to reach unprecedented rates in the coming decades, contributing significantly to global sea level rise.

The study, published in Nature Communications, compares estimates of future sea level rise from the Greenland ice sheet in new (CMIP6) models to the previous generation (CMIP5). The study finds that the 21st century sea-level contribution from the Greenland ice sheet is always higher in the CMIP6 models than in the corresponding CMIP5 models running the same emissions scenario. (See Carbon Brief’s detailed CMIP6 explainer.)

This is mainly because CMIP6 models project a greater temperature increase over the 21st century, the study finds. For example, the researchers find that in a very high emissions scenario, the new models predict a 22-day longer melt season than the old models by the end of the 21st century.

Overall, the researchers estimate that 21st century sea level rise from Greenland would be 2.6cm higher under a low-emission future scenario in the CMIP6 simulations, 2.8cm higher under a medium-emission scenario and 5cm higher under a high-emission scenario.: https://www.carbonbrief.org/new-clim...land-ice-sheet
