Science Rant, Not politics: Can CO2 cause "Climate Change?"

[madhatter]

Skies in China clearing of smog.
You can see the bottom of the canal's in Venice.
The virus seems to be fighting climate change very well.

Shocking how that works isn't it. Mother Earth has been around for what... A few years or so.

the health and survival of the planet itself has never been in jeopardy due to climate change...it will still be here long after the last one of us is gone...

Maybe this will take care of the virus...

Is it working along the Southern Tier?

Problem is right now it's spring here and fall there ( Brazil, etc ) .

Not hot anywhere except the equator - not a lot of cases or population on the equator.........

AOC must be positively ecstatic...

US power sector GHGs projected to fall 7.5% in 2020 amid record drop in global emissions

The economic halt caused by COVID-19 is expected to decrease global carbon emissions by 5% in 2020, the largest annual decline ever, according to an April 9 analysis from Carbon Brief. U.S. power sector emissions are expected to drop 7.5% this year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's latest Short-Term Energy Outlook released last week.

A relative of mine posted a picture taken from the Keene NH area showing the White Mountains being visible. I am guessing over 100 miles due to the cleaner air.

People in northern India can see the Himalayas now for that same reason.

So it's going to be a colder powderfest next year?

[Mister Moose]

Over on guess the ski area thread, MH guessed Hogback, which motivated me to see it's history, and I found this gem:

Even with the late start, the 1955-56 season was one of Hogback's best, as the area operated for 74 days.

Yeah, global warming is really going to shorten our season compared to the 'olden days'.... K is at 75 days by MLK weekend.

Yeah, that's a really good comparison except for the fact Hogback is on the Mass border, had no snowmaking and is all below 3,000 feet.

[TheLurker]

How many days would K have without snow making?

[Mister Moose]

Yeah, that's a really good comparison except for the fact Hogback is on the Mass border, had no snowmaking and is all below 3,000 feet.

Directly comparable with Mt Snow lower lifts, (Hogback is 1850 - 2,400 MSL) and if 75 days constituted a good year, that would be like Pico natural trails being open from Jan 1 to March 16. Or something like Home Stretch. Sorta like now on a good year. 75 days on natural snow is the current state of affairs on a good year. So add the benefit of snowmaking, and the outlook isn't so grim considering it's 2020.
