Comment CO2 residence time (Score 0) 41

Previous critical analyses facing the IPCC's favored interpretation of the carbon cycle and residence time have been published, e.g., by Jaworowski et al. (1992), Segalstad (1998), Dietze (2001), Rörsch et al. (2005) or Essenhigh (2009), and more recently by Humlum et al. (2013), or Salby, 2013, Salby, 2016. Although most of these analyses are based on different observations and methods, they all derive residence times (in some cases also differentiated between turnover and adjustment times) in part several orders of magnitude shorter than specified in AR5. As a consequence of these analyses also a much smaller anthropogenic influence on the climate than propagated by the IPCC can be expected.

Comment Either the wood gets burned,, or it gets burned (Score 2) 108

Trees fall down on the road. People in high vis chop it up with chainsaws. Then they pile it up and burn it, or we take it home and let it season and then burn it. Either way whatever was in the tree ends up as smoke. I estimate about half the wood we burn is from trees that have to be removed from our driveway or the local roads.

Comment Australian experience (Score 2) 240

Be careful what you wish for. When the Australian car industry shut down the suppliers shut down. The toolmakers shut down. The heavy aircraft maintenance industry shut down (they relied on those toolmakers, but didn't have enough volume to make them viable). Every developing country that doesn't have an auto industry wants one, and every country that has one defends it legally or illegally. But yeah, roll that free market die and see how it goes. FAFO for real.
