‼️ Concerning paper from Cornell about our global carbon sink - here is a 🧵on the findings:
The average CO2 growth rate during 2013-2022 was 2.42 ± 0.08 ppm per year.
In 2023, it increased to 3.37 ± 0.11 ppm per year at the Mauna Loa station (MLO) and 2.82 ± 0.08 ppm per yr 1/
The OCO-2 satellite observations showed a growth rate of 3.03 ± 0.14 ppm per year.
The higher MLO growth rate compared to MBL in 2023 indicates a potential CO2 source anomaly in the tropics.

With my second background in emergency management - I thought I’d start tweeting some daily tips during this #COVID19 pandemic. During a crisis some people have a tough time mentally coping with the overload of information and the concern, worry and many unknowns that exist. 1/
A crisis can paralyze you mentally. What might seem like common sense normally, isn’t during a crisis. It’s a normal psychological response to have. So, today I want to focus on grocery shopping. 2/
