The EU Biofuels directive pushed up the world price of biodiesel. This in turn
pushed up the value of Palm oil. Hence the directive underwrites ongoing
tropical forest clearance and replacement with oil palm plantations in Sumatra,
Kalimantan, Central Africa. Biofuels produced on such land have
Soils are the biggest on land carbon store. Forests store carbon on an ongoing
basis in soil. Leaves and twigs drop, taking carbon out of the air into organic
matter that eventually becomes soil. And in some circumstances - eg compression
by water - over millions of years this turns into sedimen

Hi John
The course of action to slow the rate of warming (it is 0.1 degree per decade
not 0.2) and ultimately to stop it requires all of the following. Young people
and climate activists the world over are calling for these things and
campaigning actively and at cost of their freedom sometimes

Dear Mike and Jonathan
I enjoy quietly reading this list and learn, especially from atmospheric and
arctic scientists.
As a non-scientist I note that the economics and the science seem to indicate
that:
CCS is expensive (because social costs of burning fossil fuels are
externalities not born
Steven Hawking has said this about moving planets before. This is why ultra
physics is in some ways part of the problem. It makes people think purely in
terms of equations and possibility theorems.
Neil Young considered this escape option more memorably and critically in the
1970s. He noted the
arena) rather than a putative ‘they’.

Hi all
Seeing that sunspots are down 77% 2019-20 and a paper has already been
published in the journal Temperature indicating that a new Grand Solar Minimum
has begun and will cause cooling of 1 degree C until 2050 the case for
geoengineering is surely over. The last GSM ended in 1821 after cau
