Eh, that graphic is kind of misleading. It's only for emissions based on transportation and the US is pretty consistently around 5,000 million tons per year give or take oh 50,000 tons. The decrease really is just year over year noise.
“Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”
Switching from a carbon-based economy to a more sustainable isn't something that can be easily done without repercussions. How much is that oil in the ground worth it it won't be burned? Saudi Arabia, Russia...
How so?
1) Burning fossil fuels, as well as other human activities such as concrete production, release CO2 to the atmosphere;
2) Atmospheric C02 is increasing rapidly;
3) Quantities of C02 released by human activities fit the increase.
4) CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas trapping heat (energy).

I support the totality of the science. Which is overwhelming.
Climate change is really about rates. How many of you run your trucks at 9k rpm? I mean, the engine is just turning as it always does.
A few thoughts that kind of intertwine (some of which were already expressed in the thread). This is a huge area for research there's just so much that goes into how population shifts some of which canb e relatively rapid, but a lot is slooooow. There are still reverberations from the civil...
I think I read the first four books in 2005-6, A Feast for Crows had just come out. Martin, too, has lost whatever it was that made the first three books great. Whether his ideas have petered out or have become unfocused, I don't know. The middle two were ok, but the story was so tight and...
NY Bird 20.2 lbs, 8 1/2" beard 3/4" spurs. Someone was already in my spot, so I drove another couple of 100 yards to hunt the other side of the road. I turned the truck off, got out to get my gear and a tom sounded off from the ridge I was going to hunt. :) And he didn't shut up. I followed...
Growing up in the 70s/80s, Mom was a competent cook but it was mostly prepackaged stuff or right out of Betty Crocker. Dad was a disaster. Cheap hot dogs, spaghetti, or breakfast for dinner. He would boil chicken before slathering it with BBQ sauce and burning it on a grill.
That said, I am...
Beagles bark. Can't deal with them.
Why not another Britt? They're great dogs. Mine was an unabashed lap dog, but dude could turn it on in the woods whether we were camping/hiking/canoeing or hunting. I miss that stupid mutt every day. I'm looking into getting another one ... just a matter...
Listening to Turnpike Troubadours makes me wish I was born in Oklahoma. They're fantastic.

I'd probably still have the 6300 if the upgrade wasn't really forced on me as a result of a baggage theft. Thankfully, Delta paid the claim, so I have a fancy 6500.
Randy, you guys are just using the mounted rode mics, right? Do you hook up any kind of wireless lav mic?
Yep, the only major difference is in the in-body stabilization. The touchscreen isn't all that great and it's only used for a few things.
I just upgraded from the 6300 to the 6500 this last month.

That little bit of hope is all it takes. I hadn't really planned on hunting Wyoming elk this season, but...
1) Yes when still hunting or tracking by myself. Of the bucks I've killed, I probably could have loaded before pulling the trigger ... but I'm hesitant to do so since shot opportunities are incredibly rare and I don't want to blow one with a touch of extra movement or a metallic click when it's...
I've been an environmental scientist involved in remedial cleanup of hazardous waste sites for going on 15 years. Trust me, I have one guy saying that he'd drink a cup of the discharge from his plant (spoiler alert: he wouldn't) to people freaking out because there are high concentrations of...
I suppose that all of the folks agitating for a grizzly hunt based "on the science" are also agitating for a comprehensive and effective climate change policy based "on the science."
