    "One Upside of More CO2: Beautiful Upper Atmospheric Clouds":

    https://www.drroyspencer.com/2020/01/one-upside-of-more-co2-beautiful-upper-atmospheric-clouds/

    Increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will continue to cause upper atmospheric cooling in the 2020s, which will lead to some of the most beautiful cloud displays ever witnessed by human eyes.

    Along with the warming in the lower atmosphere that more CO2 is theoretically expected to produce, the upper atmosphere is supposed to cool even more strongly. For example, in our satellite observations since 1979, we have observed about 3-4 times as much cooling in the middle stratosphere as warming in the troposphere over the last four decades. This cooling is expected to exist even higher up, into the upper mesosphere and beyond, which is at the edge of outer space and where meteors burn up. The current record solar minimum conditions are probably also contributing to this cooling. ​

    Gotta curb population growth.

    1950: 2.5 billion
    2020: 7.8 billion
    2100: 11.2 billion (projected)

    All these people and their carbon footprints and the demands they put on the earths resources.

    THIS.

    Not a sexy topic on the campaign trail. But totally true.

    Not sure if this belongs here, but wasn't sure if I should start an Australian Bushfires thread.
    I flew up from Melbourne to Brisbane on NYE, the air nearly all the way up was smoky with a strange red/orange colour. Could also see the fires burning on the horizon.

    Our PM is doing sweet FA at the moment, and this is the treatment he gets.

    The argument they it’s the environment versus the economy is a false choice. How much damage are the Australian fires doing to Australia? How much damage does repeated flooding do to Texas’?

    Climatic shifts that are happening now will end up doing a lot of damage to our economy. It is one reason why the DOD has long recognized that climate change is a national threat.

    The people opposed to climate change aren't opposed to it because they fear it will wreck the economy any more they fear the national debt. They oppose climate change because they are afraid of policy that will make them given up what they love.

    They don't want to eat less red meat and drive 0 emission cars. **** the planet.
