@pfriedling.bsky.socialSad news. Bob was the godfather of land surface modeling.
@pfriedling.bsky.socialAccording to their study, under net zero, the global ocean is still a sink of carbon. It is the southern ocean that becomes a source.
@kevinclimate.bsky.socialReposted by @pfriedling.bsky.socialI was asked by a colleague from my oil & gas days (who has remained in the industry) why UK producing its own gas is less acceptable to the Greens (& others) than importing it from America and West Africa.' The full question & my reply is now online at: climateuncensored.com/there-is-no-...
@pfriedling.bsky.social👏👏👏
@pfriedling.bsky.socialIt would be like saying population is growing globally therefore it’s not declining in some countries.
@pfriedling.bsky.socialNo but there is a conflict when one uses global numbers to state that transition is not possible, while it is clearly happening in some regions.
@pfriedling.bsky.socialNot sure I’ll find the time to listen to his talk but my point remains valid. Many countries have a net zero target and are already reducing fossil fuel use (ex EU). China is not far from peak fossil use. More countries will follow. Global fossil emissions will decline. Happy to bet on that. 😉
