BREAKING NEWS: U.S. CO2 levels PLUMMETING. Enviro weenies sad

[Minister of Truth]

You really are nuts, Corduroy Don. Can't you do better?

What's better than the truth? Unless the Russians secretly hacked US industry and pressed a button to forcibly lower CO² emissions. That would be better than the truth.

You should know that's not what I'm talking about, considering Donny boy. So CO2 is dropping, and he thinks it's time to stick his fanny in peoples faces. Considering damn near every developed nation is trying to keep with the Paris Climate stuff, I'd say it's more a chance that Corduroy Don ate some humble pie if it's down. He does after all, have the grace, and humility of a spoiled toddler. The fact he carries such a huge chip on his shoulder, with nothing to show, makes it slightly entertaining.

OMG and all without the Paris Accords!!!!!!

What the fuck!!!!!

How can this be?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I have highlighted key points

In a surprising turnaround, the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and government officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from dirtier-burning coal.

Many of the world's leading climate scientists didn't see the drop coming, in large part because it happened as a result of market forces rather than direct government action against carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.


Wait the worlds scientists who claim to know everything about climate were SURPRISED?

I am not surprised.


DRILL BABY DRILL!!!!!

Trying to follow this, a doubling of carbon dioxide greenhouse gas forces about 3.7 watts per meter sq., and then you say the black body radiation constant equation balances it?
How does what you said show me that a doubling of co2 continuously produces a linear increase in temperature? And how does that even if true prove the change in ave global temp
does not meet a point of irreversibility?

This is simple climate science, go crack a book open, even better go read the IPCC reports. The forcing caused by a doubling of CO2 concentration is around 3.7 W/m^2 and that equates to a temperature rise of about 1.2C. Further doublings will also result in the same extra climate forcing hence the effect attentuates with higher CO2 concentrations. It is akin to painting the glass in a greenhouse black, the first coat has the most effect and subsequent coats less and less.
