Fantasy dominates environmental reporting
According to the BBC there has been a 'record emissions drop' in 2020, the biggest annual fall in CO2 emissions since World War Two. But in the real world, away from the fantasy merchants in the media, what's happening is that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing in an apparently run away fashion. The reading from the Mauna Loa station recently (November 29) is quite remarkable at 415.5 ppm (parts per million). A year ago the level was just 410.67 ppm a year ago. This increase is roughly equivalent to the increase in CO2 ppm between July 2016 and September 2019 (more than three years). So the increase in CO2 in the atmospghere has tripled.
