Top Study Confirms Sunlight and Clouds Drive Earth’s Climate, Not ‘Carbon Emissions’

A major new study has confirmed that Earth’s global temperature and climate are driven naturally by sunlight and clouds, not by so-called “carbon emissions.”

Two scammers, a web of betrayal, and Europe’s fraud of the century. Issue no. 148, “Watch It Burn,” by Jessica Camille Aguirre, is now live:

The scam would help Daphne accrue even more money, and it would make him famous. In the media he cut a dashing figure, partying with celebrities and oligarchs. He maintained his slim physique by avoiding carbohydrates like they were venom and dressed in blazers cut from blue velvet or embroidered with shimmering brocade flowers. He liked to wear a diamond-encrusted Chopard sun pendant on his partially bared chest and was rarely photographed without one of his hundreds of pairs of Tom Ford sunglasses, all aviator-style with gradient lenses. Always, it seemed, he had a cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth.

Reporters dubbed Daphne the “prince of carbon,” but it wasn’t just his flamboyant charisma that elevated him to criminal royalty. So did the nature of his new fraud. Daphne was scamming the fight against climate change by exploiting a policy flaw that left billions for the taking.

new thing for new business cards: some lush future Africa, de colon1zed & self determined, where the great green wall has grown thick and steady & date palms & mango trees could maybe share canopies, adapting to the new weather patterns & all hope is not lost

The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Orbit, 2021. 9780316300148. 576pp.

I've listened to a lot of economics podcasts over the last few years, so the bits of this book that fascinated me the most were the parts where the Ministry for the Future tries to get the world to fund and adopt a carbon coin, which gives ongoing value to sequestering carbon vs. putting it into the atmosphere where it will contribute to climate change. Lots of fascinating meetings in the book, plus politics. There's also a bit of terrorism and many, many climate refugees that need a place to live. At the center of it all is the head of the Ministry for the Future, who comes much more into focus as a character at the end of the book as she tours the world and considers it in light of how it is changing. It's a novel with some hope for the short-term future of our planet if humanity is willing to come together to do the necessary work around removing carbon from the atmosphere. It offers no simple solutions, but it does show a few possible places to start.

I was daunted by the size of this book but I shouldn't have been; once I started it I didn't want to put it down.

A healthy ocean is critical for all life on Earth. 🌏️

But to make predictions about the future of our ocean, scientists need to understand its biological and chemical cycles. That’s where MBARI’s Ocean Biogeochemical Sensing Team comes in. Led by marine chemist Yui Takeshita, this team is developing sensors that detect how climate change alters ocean chemistry.

Each year, the ocean absorbs 25 percent of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activities. It has buffered our planet from the worst effects of climate change but at a heavy cost. The ocean is becoming more acidic, creating a more stressful environment for marine life.

Scientists need new tools to better understand the ocean's changing chemistry. Yui’s team is developing and deploying autonomous robots to measure and monitor these changes.

They’re studying how ocean acidification affects ecosystems from the coast to the open sea. The team is sharing new sensor technologies with colleagues around the world to quickly scale our ability to observe the world ocean at this critical moment.

Learn more about the Ocean Biogeochemical Sensing team and their work on our website.
