Abstract

Mapped monthly data products of surface ocean acidification indicators from 1998 to 2022 on a 0.25° by 0.25° spatial grid have been developed for eleven U.S. large marine ecosystems (LMEs). The data products were constructed using observations from the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas, co-located surface ocean properties, and two types of machine learning algorithms: Gaussian mixture models to organize LMEs into clusters of similar environmental variability and random forest regressions (RFRs) that were trained and applied within each cluster to spatiotemporally interpolate the observational data. The data products, called RFR-LMEs, have been averaged into regional timeseries to summarize the status of ocean acidification in U.S. coastal waters, showing a domain-wide carbon dioxide partial pressure increase of 1.4 ± 0.4 μatm yr−1 and pH decrease of 0.0014 ± 0.0004 yr−1. RFR-LMEs have been evaluated via comparisons to discrete shipboard data, fixed timeseries, and other mapped surface ocean carbon chemistry data products. Regionally averaged timeseries of RFR-LME indicators are provided online through the NOAA National Marine Ecosystem Status web portal.

Oops, they try arguing for an extreme trend. But this indicates a minor to negligible Fahrenheit, not Celsius, rise in most states...except those that are heavily populated now vs. 120 years ago.

Urban heat island effect? Locally created heat from too many people as in California that seems to lead the pack?

Didn't Bill gates say that AI will save us?

Google’s greenhouse gas emissions have surged 48 percent in the past five years due to the expansion of its data centers that underpin artificial intelligence systems, leaving its commitment to get to “net zero” by 2030 in doubt.

The Silicon Valley company’s pollution amounted to 14.3 million tonnes of carbon equivalent in 2023, a 48 percent increase from its 2019 baseline and a 13 percent rise since last year, Google said in its annual environmental report on Tuesday.

Google said the jump highlighted “the challenge of reducing emissions” at the same time as it invests in the build-out of large language models and their associated applications and infrastructure, admitting that “the future environmental impact of AI” was “complex and difficult to predict.”

Chief Sustainability Officer Kate Brandt said the company remained committed to the 2030 target but stressed the “extremely ambitious” nature of the goal.

“We do still expect our emissions to continue to rise before dropping towards our goal,” said Brandt.

And then there is this one from June 29, 2024, barely a year later:

Universal Hydrogen, pioneer of hydrogen-powered flight, goes bust

Only $1,000,000,000 of taxpayer dollars were wasted, given to the governor's buddies who I'm sure will be donating some of it back to him in the form of campaign contributions and other sundries. Boy it's a very good thing that climate genius Jay Inslee didn't become president. Whew!

Oops. Despite goal of net zero by 2030, due to greater electricity used by data centers & AI, Google was up 13% in 2023 & up 48% since the baseline year of 2019.

Yet you can guarantee they will push anything negative about climate alarmism to the back of any seach...if mentioned at all.
