The Chinese are BELOW the minimal range for anything situated in the actual Far East. Note that it is official - under IMF Treaty that Trump quit just recently, everything ground-based with under 5,000 km is verboten. Not anymore, of course. The Chinese are not considered a very credible military treat to Russian landforces even without the nukes. Actually, nobody is. Not on land, on Russia's home continent. It would steamroll all of European NATO and the Chinese simultaneously in a few days if it needs be, even it were down to conventional land forces only. The largest BS is US enforcing some kind of "freedom of navigation" which nobody but US itself is even trying to impede. Except for armed warships. Whose rights of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocent_passage are ever contestable (see article) Not that it should concern the US, which never actually ratified the UNCLOS which it is somehow trying to enforce! With most potential infractions also due to US itself, it is bloody unlikely that it ever will. So, the US is there harassing other people's shipping, under the bogus claim of ensuring free passage for its own warships, which never existed under the convention that US is also not itself even a part of?!? The US is not even likely to have anything but armed warships participating in "navigational activities" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I mentioned, invented by Mr. Arrenius, together with global warming, around 1905. Just a couple years after he awarded himself the first Nobel price in chemistry for modelling acid-base interactions. It is simple than this. The CO2 is by far the densest/heaviest common componet of our atmosphere. This causes most of atmospheric CO2 to be close to the sea level. Which likely explains the Earth resonating in the IR at the frequency of CO2. Because it is largely IR radiation that gets down to ground level in the first place? The rest is Releigh-scattered, producing blue sky. Naturally, does the emission spectrum of Earth in visible light most likely peak in blue. Like Duh! Than, we turn to carbonating the oceans (which really is making them bubblier more that sourer Just the first 10 meters got at least as much as the entire atmosphere (1 atm / bar ~= 10 meters of water head) After that, does the amount maximally dissolvable grow very close to constant factor of decimal orders of magnitude of metric depth. A fairly peculiar property - the amount of CO2 dissolvable depends on pressure and very little on temperature or anything else. Alas, is most of the ocean starting at some depth at constant +4 degrees or whereabouts. So, the amount of CO2 dissolved grows thusly to some 4-5 km depth, after which it stops. At which point there is barely any gasses dissolved in it. Also no oxygen for anything air-breathing to breath. (With obvious exception of the deepest depth of the Marina Trench, where James Cameron riding a custom submersible is always greeted by a peculiar procession of wildly deformed fishes. Those must be the kindred spirits - local entertainment celebrities coming out to greet a colleague?) Ergo - the deepest ocean hasn't even been mixed well enough to absorb any CO2 whatsover yet, even though the lower layers may accommodate a lot more. Will add charts to the effect when I find them again. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if you are interested to know......... 1. heatwaves and drought in Europe (DW documentary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT8z5e408Og This documentary says that massive change of land use is causing drought, desertification in southern Europe, longer lasting forest fire, weaker wind etc. Climate change is another culprit. While the majority and authority are still focusing on if subsidy given to greener agri-activities and technologies would work, issues were highlighted: a) could there be a possibility that the massive change in land use IS causing climate change, and not the other way round? b) longer lasting forest fire might be caused by the close proximity of tree planted during attempts of reforestation. The distance of less than 30cm between two trees makes burning material available more easily. (it used to be more than 1 m or 100cm) 2. Presentation titled: Development, Livability and neglected signs of climate change. Location of presentation: South East Asia-German Urban Experts "(Alumni) Forum for urban future in SEA - National Urban Development strategies in South East Asia" The following is part of the presentation. It might explain what the documentary left out or what is happening. Hope these help to widen your perspective i) why carbon or carbon dioxide is not really the major culprit ii) why wind powered solution might not work well in weaker or no wind condition (due to massive change of land use). iii) Black paneled solar might increase localized temperature which in turn, produces similar result as barren land. iv) why electric vehicles, although good to have, should not be a mandate absolutism, especially without proper planning or in hast.

There is simply no way it will ever be achieved. At best emissions world wide might be held steady - that is, prevented from increasing - and even that would require political will and commitment to the green cause simply not evident at all in developing countries. It is difficult to believe that people seriously repeat this nonsense.. there might be a possibility to achieve net zero if it means CO2 produced = CO2 absorbed. How? The world needs to cut back on deforestation and massive rate of development. Rapid urbanization might aimed at reducing the rate of poverty in countries. But it produces unwanted side effects including those mentioned above. If it means zero production of carbon and carbon dioxide, which is the direction of thinking and action at the moment, then, you could be right. It might bring more detrimental consequences than being useful?

A new study published in the journal Science Advances titled “Biophysical impacts of Earth greening largely controlled by aerodynamic resistance” reports that the entire land surface would have been much warmer without the cooling effect of increased green cover during the recent decades. The study used high-quality satellite data from NASA’s MODIS sensors and NCAR’s state-of-the-art numerical earth system model. As for the cut back on deforestation this is already happening, at least in developed countries. The deforestation scare stories you read about, say, the Amazon basin, are largely baseless.. farmers cut jungle down in those areas and it grows back. the stories then quote the stats on jungle cut down but does not mention the jungle growing back..
