Moe Declares Sask Carbon Negative

[jazz]

What a joke. The world is at its lowest ppm CO2 in its history.

Or does history start in 1980 like Env Canada likes to tell you.

No farmers are plowing down the northern boreal forest chuck.

Sask is carbon negative and we have sequestered a lot of chinas emissions in the past 20 yrs.

And Trump is still President right? LOL

JAZZ you take the cake for the biggest dumbass time and again with statements like "the world is at its lowest ppm CO2 in its history." HUH?

Right up there with A5's idea that we need to burn coal to make it rain and that we will run out of C02 in the atmosphere if we don't keep burning fossil fuels. Hilarious!

So Jazz and other flat earthers, does it look like we are currently in a period of the lowest CO2 levels in history? Nope!

Graphic: The relentless rise of carbon dioxide
Ancient air bubbles trapped in ice enable us to step back in time and see what Earth's atmosphere, and climate, were like in the distant past. They tell us that levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are higher than they have been at any time in the past 400,000 years. During ice ages, CO2 levels were around 200 parts per million (ppm), and during the warmer interglacial periods, they hovered around 280 ppm (see fluctuations in the graph). In 2013, CO2 levels surpassed 400 ppm for the first time in recorded history. This recent relentless rise in CO2 shows a remarkably constant relationship with fossil-fuel burning, and can be well accounted for based on the simple premise that about 60 percent of fossil-fuel emissions stay in the air.

Today, we stand on the threshold of a new geologic era, which some term the "Anthropocene", one where the climate is very different to the one our ancestors knew.

If fossil-fuel burning continues at a business-as-usual rate, such that humanity exhausts the reserves over the next few centuries, CO2 will continue to rise to levels of order of 1500 ppm. The atmosphere would then not return to pre-industrial levels even tens of thousands of years into the future. This graph not only conveys the scientific measurements, but it also underscores the fact that humans have a great capacity to change the climate and planet.

Geez, last time I checked the earth is 4B yrs old.

Check out what CO2 was about 10M yrs ago.

Some scientist you are.

I was about to post the same. talk about cherry picking.

The 400,000 year glacial era in the chart above represents. 0.008% of earths history.

And this is coming from the poster who likes to chastise other posters for basing their covid informationon too small of a sample size.

Clueless, and willfully ignorant, not sure which is worse.

Lots of nice pictures of the carbon sinks but you forgot to add a picture of the carbon cycle.

Carbon is captured and released in a cycle that was mostly stable for thousands of years until humans starting clearing forests and grasslands and burning fossil fuels on a large scale.

And it doesn't really matter whether Saskatchewan is a net carbon sink, which it is not, unless you think the natural carbon sink suddenly stopped releasing carbon!

Carbon knows no boundaries and is increasing rapidly in the atmosphere. We were stable at 280 ppm of carbon dioxide about 200-300 years ago and now we are at over 400 ppm. Where did all that extra carbon come from? Burning fossil energy sources and changes to the landscape.

Most of the carbon captured by annual crop agriculture is in the top few inches of the soil and decomposes rapidly releasing carbon. Other wise there would be a large increase in organic matter and residues on the surface which there isn't in annual cropping. Most farmers don't want large amounts of residues on the surface otherwise they can't seed through it without a disc opener.

And when farmers clear or bulldoze all the trees and drain the wetlands they release a tremendous amount of carbon.

You get the award for that one Chuck.

[seldomseen]

So Chuck are you leaving all the trees grow back on your fields? Left all the pot holes and low spots grow trees? Have you stopped using diesel and gasoline to move around? No gas or propane or heating oil being used?
Lecture us while you do the same as us!

Some graphs for CC to CHOKE on...I have more too!

[fjlip]

WE ALL LOVE/need/for all life on earth...C02!

More is better, LESS is death! Except for Russia we are the COLDEST, least populated per sq mile on EARTH!

You guys using Scotty Moe's math method or what?

The chart covers over 800,000 years during which CO2 levels were consistently well below 300ppm. Now they are at 420ppm and have been above 300 since about 1950.

But you are still sure like Jazz, that the current levels of CO2 are the lowest in history? Huh? LOL

You don't need to go back millions of years in earth's history to measure human caused climate change. Its hardly relativant when modern humans have origins only 200,000 years ago and only had small impacts until the last 300 years.

But flat earthers don't have any good arguments to prove human caused climate change isn't real, so they have to make up lame ones.

[fjlip]

Aw, so busy typing, now answer the above charts.

Chuck put your farm into trees and go to China and spread your BS there. We in Canada are insignificant in production of CO2
