There is no (as
in zero) evidence in the Mauna Loa CO2 record of the Covid-19 economic
slowdown last year. These results are from my 1D CO2 budget model,
which includes a number of natural climate variables (plus volcanoes)
as yearly forcing terms. The Mauna Loa measurements are consistent with
no 2020 reduction in CO2 emissions (the blue model curve assumes a 5.8%
reduction in emissions, per EIA estimates).

Looks like the Global Warmiacs -- or as Tim call 'em, the Gang Green -- were one of the big losers during the Faucian Year of Shutdowns. Of course, they won't recognize it or admit it. . .

No they won't Dana. I brought this up in an argument with one of them and he flat-out refused to believe it. He didn't know a thing about it because the mainstream media - while reporting it - did very little to call attention to this story.

I weep for those who only get their news from the Lamestream Media. They really don't know what's going on.

Me too. The sad thing is they actually THINK they are well-informed! As Reagan said "it's not that my liberals friend are ill-informed, it's just that so much of what they know just isn't so."
