If you’re an “investor” and need to see results every 3 months, you are speculating, not investing. Investing is for long term strategies and quarterly results are not necessary. Semi annual is sufficient

@keepitquarterly I’m an investor. Six months is way too long to see what my companies have been doing.

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

New research claims human emissions are not driving atmospheric CO2.

A paper by Dai Ato ran multiple linear regressions for 1959 to 2022, testing two predictors of the annual CO2 increase: sea surface temperature and human emissions.

The result was clear, when the oceans warmed, CO2 levels rose almost exactly in step: about two to three ppm for every 1C of warming.

Adding human emissions to the model didn't change the outcome.

Using only ocean temperature, the model reproduced global CO2 levels with near-perfect accuracy, a correlation of 0.995 and an error of just one to two ppm by 2022.

The main factor governing the annual increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is sea surface temperature rather than human emissions.

Earlier studies have shown the same pattern.
Temperature changes first, CO2 follows.

If Ato is correct, cutting human emissions won't lower atmospheric CO2 because it's the oceans that set the pace.

Have we really gambled the entire world economy on a statistical rounding error?

CO₂ is a single trace gas at 427 parts per million. Its effects do not increase exponentially, as the warming crisis narrative seems to overlook. The warming effects of CO₂ are actually logarithmic, as parts of its bandwidth become saturated or overloaded. Each additional unit has a diminishing impact.

There are endless examples of warming trends that were not caused by CO₂, such as the Roman and Mediaeval warm periods during the 11,700 years of the current Holocene interglacial period. This 'control knob' scenario cannot be compared with the massive, linear influence of a world dominated by the oceans and ocean currents.

The well understood properties of water, ocean currents and clouds ultimately dominate the earth's dynamic biosphere and all life within it. It's well established that CO₂ is not the root cause of the ongoing Late Cenozoic Ice Age - and the recurring glacial cycles and climate spikes over the last 2.58 million years.

The oceans are truly vast. They cover 71% of the world's surface area to an average depth of 2.3 miles and hold 96.5% of all water. They also contain 91-93% of all the world's retained heat energy, the great driver of ocean currents. Water is also 1,000 times denser and heavier than the air.

This massive volume of water is the de facto lungs of the earth, containing 86% of the entire carbon reservoir (the atmosphere retains only 1-2%). The oceans are also the world's great air conditioning unit and the heartbeat of all life.

Ocean currents have warmed Northern Europe for hundreds of millions of years; one round trip takes 1,000 years for a single parcel of water. The flow of warm waters to the north prevents most of northern Europe having a climate like Greenland.

The oceans effects on the climate we experience day-to-day are overwhelming. There's a hundred times more water vapour in the air than CO₂, a trace gas at 427 parts 'per million'. Water vapour dominates the world's atmosphere, reaching 4% over the mid latitudes and responsible for clouds, storms, rainfall, humidity and snowfall.

Clouds permanently cover around 67% of the world's surface, reflecting incoming shortwave radiation from sunlight yet trapping outgoing longwave infrared radiation. They are a unique cooling parasol and warming blanket at the same time.

Solar radiation, orbital cycles, oceanic thermohaline circulation and water vapor dictate earth's endlessly changing climate - largely independent of CO₂.

Oceanic heat content is the primary driver that dictates how much water vapor is released, rather than the air temperature alone.

As Ronald Reagan said..if it moves, tax it..if it keeps moving, regulate it..if stops moving, subsidize it

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

I agree. We need to start discussing now, what a robot tax looks like. I like a straight amount per hour of use , per robot or cobot. Doesn’t matter what the shape or form is.

And start coming up with the responses to the inevitable “we won’t be able to compete economically with other country’s robots “

Every country will face the prospect of national instability if the economics get out of wack, which is far more expensive than what you are paying in taxes on your robots.

Everyone should ask themselves why roughly thirty billion was added onto the backs of US citizens for additional SNAP benefits during Biden's term.

How is it even remotely possible that the program DOUBLED in size in a very short amount of time?

Also note that this lines up with Joe and Co. throwing open the gates to endless waves of illegal aliens. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that this was all intentional.

Treason.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

Why CO₂ does not control earth's climate. CO₂ is 0.042% (1 molecule in 2,500 or 420 parts per million); argon 0.93% (9,340 ppm), water vapour 0.4% (40,000 ppm), oxygen 21% (209,460 ppm), & nitrogen 78% (780,840 ppm). This is the concentration of each gas by volume in dry air.

[Jeff @jeffmsolberg]

CO2 is 420 parts per million and methane “ a powerful greenhouse gas” is 2 ppm….TWO…. These molecules barely exist in the atmosphere. Until some one proves how these trace molecules “trap heat” I will remain a denier
