The Unseen Effects of Deforestation: Biophysical Effects on Climate. These effects in the tropics alone deliver planetary cooling of one-third of a degree Celsius; when combined with the CO2, the cooling effect is more than 1 degree Celsius. Article link: [link].

C of warming without removing carbon from the atmosphere – in other words, carbon capture (or, to use less controversial nomenclature: carbon removal) in some form. Here’s Part 1 and Part 2 ). The bigger controversy and bigger set of potential emergency actions focuses on industrial carbon capture.

CO 2 levels in the atmosphere hit an all-time high in early May. Think of the atmosphere as a bathtub, and emissions as the water that flows from the tap. Keeping wild spaces wild, stopping deforestation and restoring degraded land to protect biodiversity, boost food production and store carbon. The tub is still filling.

As the atmosphere continues to warm, severe weather events have gone from occasionally urgent to relentless assault. . Restoring trees along deforested riverbanks, for example, can shade the ecosystem and cools the river during extreme heat. On the Au Sable, the threat is a slow burn.

Satellites, for example, are used in meteorology to track weather systems and to monitor atmospheric fronts to predict what the weather will do next. Known as ENSO, they are opposite effects of the same process and are defined as an oscillation (a variation in magnitude) between the temperature of the atmosphere and the ocean.

Effective preventive action involves both cutting emissions and tackling other drivers of tipping events, such as deforestation or overfishing. But the report warns that removals capacity is likely to prove limited, and should be dedicated to dealing with excess atmospheric CO2 rather than balancing otherwise abateable residual emissions.

The Colorado River water that cooled the plant is part of a broader legal impasse. Vincent, Borneo, and Alaska, decades of displacement, deforestation, and warming have defined a harrowing Anthropogenic Epoch. Big rains are more likely to swell into monster storms because a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture. Brett Walton.
