Today is Wednesday 20th September 2023. The Autumnal Equinox is on the 23rd. The atmospheric CO2 level was 418.86 ppm on the 19th, according to CO2 earth, up from 416.19 ppm on the 19th September 2022, an increase of 2.67 ppm = 0.64% p.a.

The Keeling Curve has a reading of 418.55 ppm for the 19th September 2023. 418.55 ppm = 811.1 mg/m^3 = 3,266.5 GtCO2. 418.86 ppm = 811.7 mg/m^3 = 3,268.9 GtCO2.

There are some climate scientists who seem to think that all we have to do to "solve" the climate emergency is end humanity's dependence on fossil fuels and achieve a complete transition of global energy production to renewable energy in as short a time span as possible. Would that things were that simple! They are NOT! In 2021, world energy consumption was 176,431 TWh (Terawatt-hours) = 635.156 EJ (exajoules). Oil, coal, natural gas and traditional biomass made up 529.6644 EJ of that, which is 83.39% of the t...
