Climate Letter #633

Are we witnessing a CO2 train wreck?  Yesterday’s reading was an astounding 409.34.  That compares with a peak day of 404.63 in the spring season of 2015, which fell on April 14.  It represents a gain of nearly 5 ppm, and we are not even sure if we have reached the peak yet for this year.  An El Nino event causes all sorts of volatility, due to natural disturbances, but this is just too much.  We can hope it will quickly fall back and stay back; otherwise we have a problem.  Note that on some days at Mauna Loa no reading is posted because of possible data corruption from unusual local sources that must be screened out.

The lawsuit organized by James Hansen is going to move forward.  The suit may be completely unusual, but could hardly be called frivolous.  I think we will end up seeing the predictions of science being argued in court, and that will be fascinating, perhaps the “trial of the century.”  It could stretch on for years, and the public will get more and more involved educationally as arguments are plainly set forth in a dramatic setting.

One more piece of good news:  The World Bank, as announced, is going to make a “fundamental shift” away from financing efforts to ease global poverty, towards tackling climate change.  Does that sound strange, or does the move actually make sense as a better way to relieve poverty?  The World Bank has a lot of leverage in the developing world, which it can use to steer the coming surge in electrification away from coal in favor of assorted renewable energy sources.  If they really bear down it could make a huge difference in future emissions growth, a result that might otherwise be neglected for lack of properly focused leadership.

Israel plans to boost its economy by cutting carbon emissions.  Israelis know as much as anyone about how to maximize economic benefits under any set of circumstances.

A better way to make biofuel.  Biofuel is a potentially useful alternative to gasoline, but corn-based ethanol does not have the right answers.  Scientists are learning how to easily break down lignin and cellulose by observing how some animals are doing it.  We may get cheaper and cleaner fuel from waste biomass as a result.

“The Art of Sustainable Living.”  The lady who wrote the above story has a personal website that celebrates the wonders of life in the natural world.  She added this piece about sustainable living in words that beautifully capture a set of values the industrialized world has completely lost sight of, leading directly to the evils of climate change.  Everyone should read it, and don’t be afraid to pass it on.  Thanks, Neha.
