You joke but solar radiation management is being touted as a short term solution.Man, if only the sun didn’t heat the Earth…

Well, at least mowing the grass is easier if it isn’t covered in a couple of feet of snow.The temperature finally plummeted. It’s +8C today.
I should be shovelling snow but I may need to mow the grass this winter.

This will not be a surprise to anyone who tuned into the climate news this year, but 2023 is the hottest year on record and not just by a bit.
The prediction for 2024 is that it will be another temperature record-breaking year, surpassing 2023. Looks like more lawn mowing in December next year, too.

Lost count of the number of visits. Chopper to and land at the bottom of the Grand Canyon with papillon is a must do. The bar at the top of Palms is excellent, fab view back to the strip at night. The terrace at mon ami gabi is nice for lunch, you can watch the fountains at the Bellagio opposite. Been to so many great bars and restaurants, down to budget really. Not been post covid so dread to think now. Don’t forget old Vegas. You’ll be goosed after 4 days, that’s for sure.
Ponty,
You remind me of the people who say they are stuck in traffic, rather than admitting they are traffic.
At least have the intellectual honest to admit that you -- just like me -- are part of the problem, and that its solution is not up to others.

I think all would say we are not moving anywhere near fast enough. Sadly with each passing year it’s going to be harder and harder to dig ourselves out of this mess.

Are you ignoring trees and plants consuming CO2?
It’s really depressing but population reduction is the real answer even though it’s incredibly unrealistic to think the world can work together to achieve it. What we are doing now is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic…. We outsource our manufacturing to China..by this I mean we buy lots of stuff from them instead of making it ourselves so we export CO2 creation to China in return. For heavens sake we even buy EVs from China. We could go back to subsistence living but that’s even more unrealistic than population reduction but one of these options will be the ultimate outcome.
Is the current atmospheric CO2 causing climate change that is having a material impact on life? No.
Apart from the shifting monsoon patterns in Asia wrecking the rice and grain harvests, the droughts in US and Canada etc. The worldwide food production is in chaos this year.We are nowhere near needing population reduction. Is the current atmospheric CO2 causing climate change that is having a material impact on life? No.
Maybe the summer wildfires will burn it to desert?The temperature finally plummeted. It’s +8C today.
