Source: PBS News Hour
In a first-of-its-kind report issued Wednesday, the United Nations has said that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst of global warming's harms. Now, the world must figure out how to get temperatures below the danger zone and back to safety, officials warn. Earth is soon going to exceed the safe temperature threshold agreed upon by the world in the 2015 Paris climate agreement because of warming from the burning of coal, oil,...

Rock Weathering Can Counteract River CO2 Emissions Induced By Permafrost Thaw

H/T @aaron Bufe
“[The researchers] measured carbon emissions and water chemistry in 50 headwater rivers draining 780,000 km² of the Tibetan Plateau.
The rivers flow in landscapes underlain by continuous permafrost and landscapes in which the permafrost has retreated since the last glacial maximum. They collect[ed] organic carbon from soils and dissolved inorganic carbon that is fixed by rock-weathering.
Where the permafrost cover is continuous, rivers emit CO2 from degrading (permafrost) soil carbon. Weathering reactions in these catchments are relatively slow.
In landscapes with (almost) no permafrost, carbon fluxes from weathering are faster than CO2 emissions from rivers.
Thus, as permafrost landscapes transition to landscapes without permafrost cover, chemical weathering reactions may play an ever more important role in riverine carbon cycling.
Interestingly, weathering can affect the carbon cycle in different ways. Where sulfide minerals are present, weathering reactions can emit CO2. Where silicate minerals dominate, weathering draws down CO2 from the atmosphere…”

“Climate-induced permafrost thaw unlocks large stores of organic carbon that are mineralized and emitted as carbon dioxide (CO2) from rivers to the atmosphere. Concurrently, warming and permafrost thaw can increase mineral weathering rates, thus affecting the release and sequestration of inorganic carbon. Yet how these biological and geological carbon cycles interact and jointly affect CO2 dynamics (emission compared with drawdown) in permafrost rivers remains unknown. Here [they] combine[d] CO2 emissions, organic and inorganic solute concentrations, dual carbon isotopes (δ13C–Δ14C) and geochemical modelling to infer how permafrost thaw may affect river biogeochemistry over decades to centuries across the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Leveraging a gradient of thermal permafrost degradation, we find that river CO2 emissions decline, whereas solute fluxes from rock weathering increase with decreasing permafrost cover. Across this region, net CO2 drawdown fluxes from rock weathering are about 35% of river CO2 emissions, varying from around 15% in catchments with continuous permafrost to more than 100% in catchments with discontinuous or isolated permafrost. Thus, carbon fluxes from chemical weathering may become increasingly important with ongoing permafrost thaw, potentially even outpacing river CO2 emissions. [Their] findings disentangle the interplay between biological and geological carbon fluxes that are important for the cryosphere and the global carbon cycle…”

A study published in Scientific Reports in 2024 claims that "AI systems emit between 130 and 1500 times less CO2e per page of text generated compared to human writers, while AI illustration systems emit between 310 and 2900 times less CO2e per image than their human counterparts." 👀
Huge if true.
Here's the kicker: "For the human writing process, we looked at humans’ total annual carbon footprints, and then took a subset of that annual footprint based on how much time they spent writing." 🤔
Of course, writing contributes to carbon footprints in the same way as all other human activities like *checks notes* heavy industry, transport, agriculture, and energy and heating. /s 🙄
Last author Andrew W. Torrance declares holding shares in NVIDIA. 🤦

What would happen in #GreaterManchester if the spatial plan 'Places for Everyone' were to be implemented?
Could GM stay within its carbon budget?
Could it make a fair contribution to the nationally legislated net zero target?
We ran the numbers, trying our best to be fair and rigorous.
It's not a pretty picture.
