However, scientists are increasingly concerned that carbon dioxide levels are not falling fast enough

The more interesting news is co2 levels are falling, when did that happen? Last thing I saw was us breaking through 430ppm.

Oh cool they are doing the plot of snowpiercer

In 2014, an attempt to stop climate change via stratospheric aerosol injection catastrophically backfires, creating a new ice age that destroys much of life on Earth.

Or the matrix. It's a relatively popular idea for how incredibly stupid and dangerous it is.

Oh hey, look, it's the thing that the west was saying that the bad guy countries would be doing in order to be lazy and not actually improve emissions and green energy! I sure am glad the good guy countries are the ones doing this, I'd hate to think what would happen if a country responsible for the vast majority of lifetime global emissions did something like this as a quick shortcut instead of actually trying to right their past wrongs!

Oh cool it's not like that will also lower crop yields or the efficiency of solar power or anything

Yup, but we’ll be able to burn more coal and oil…capitalists love this one trick?

UK found out about dim sum and is trying to replicate it, but of course...

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Does the UK even get sun more than three times a year?

If they could somehow contain their "experiments" just to the UK, this would be funny

co2 levels are falling

they are? I didn't see it when I skimmed the article

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

They aren't, but the article says:

However, scientists are increasingly concerned that carbon dioxide levels are not falling fast enough and that further action may be needed to prevent catastrophic warming.

which is just a weird way of saying it, they aren't falling at all. Levels are increasing faster then ever. idk why the article says that, I pointed it out but obviously was a bit too lazy to find a different source.

Was trying to say it sarcastically, like "oh really when did that happen?" but it didn't come across when I reread 😔

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

It's extremely irresponsible phrasing. CO2 is still increasing. They probably meant 'the increase in CO2 is not slowing as fast as it needs to'

Jesus fucking christ we're actually going to do it

comparing a single days reading is absurd to me.

the atmospheric CO2 amount fluctuates seasonally (due to the northern hemisphere forests leafing out) which has all manner of factors adjusting the start and end. especially early season where overall warmer conditions in upper latitudes is going to push leaf out forward.

those crests of every little wave is the peak cumulative sequestration of northern forests prior to seasonal senescence of deciduous trees.

the overall yearly average trend up is the existential problem, so yearly averages are what matters.

The yearly average from 2023 to 2024 was 3.75 ppm, worse then that daily reading. But yes, you are correct that the average is what matters.
