Short Takes — 20

Do you want to see what a SUCCESSFUL Carbon Storage and Sequestration (CSS) solution looks like?

Distribution of permafrost zones that together represent the permafrost region. It’s about 22% of the exposed land area in the Northern Hemisphere.

PERMAFROST is what REAL CSS done on a planetary scale looks like.

Global carbon storage in soils and atmospheric carbon (2017).

If “PERMAFROST” was a CSS company it was only founded about 750,000 years ago. Before then, there was NO Permafrost. There was no Ice Cap on Greenland. Arctic sea ice was probably a “year round” thing but it hadn't been for long.

At +2.0°C we think that the Arctic Ice Cap will completely melt during the Summer months.

When you imagine the “Arctic Ice Cap”, I’ll bet you thought it would be “bigger”. Summer Sea Ice 2019.

Arctic summer sea ice could disappear as early as 2035 — (pub. 2020)

FYI — We are also now “on track” to reach +2.0°C of WARMING by 2035.

This is a Warming FEEDBACK.
