Definition for Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions refer to the total amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere from human activities on a global scale.
These emissions primarily result from the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as from certain industrial processes and deforestation.
Measuring global CO2 emissions involves tracking and estimating the quantity of CO2 released by various sectors, including energy production, transportation, industry, residential and commercial activities, and land-use changes. International organizations, research institutions, and national governments collect and analyze data to assess the magnitude of global CO2 emissions.
The Global Carbon Project (GCP), an international research consortium, provides comprehensive data on global CO2 emissions. Their estimates incorporate various sources, including energy consumption statistics, national greenhouse gas inventories, and industry reports. The GCP produces annual reports and updates that outline the current state of global CO2 emissions and provide projections for future trends.
As of the most recent available data (prior to my knowledge cutoff in September 2021), global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes reached a record high of 36.8 billion metric tons in 2019. However, it’s important to note that these emissions fluctuate over time due to factors such as economic activity, energy demand, policy interventions, and technological advancements.
Tracking global CO2 emissions is crucial for assessing the progress in mitigating climate change and achieving global emission reduction targets. It helps policymakers and stakeholders understand the scale of the problem and formulate strategies to transition to a low-carbon and sustainable future. Ongoing monitoring and analysis of global CO2 emissions are essential for evaluating the effectiveness of climate policies and informing decision-making processes at the international, national, and local levels.

Big Money Still Controls Planet’s Energy
When I was in college in the 1970s, I recall hearing people say, “We’ll have solar energy when the Rockefellers own the sun.”
Nothing’s changed too much in half a century.

Even Trump’s Endorsement Can’t Ruin This Guy’s Chances in His Race for Office
It’s hard to imagine how certain politicians can lose in the 2026 midterms, even with “the kiss of death” (Trump’s endorsement).
This guy’s district in Texas is largely the panhandle, far from the more educated and sophisticated parts of the state in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
He’s a physician and retired admiral.
If for some horrible reason I lived in a town in that district, perhaps called Buzzardsbreath, TX, I would probably vote for him myself, even with Trump’s endorsement.

A Metaphor on the Natural Forces that Support Human Life on Earth
I met a guy yesterday you told me, “We live on this planet at the generosity of the forces of nature. These privileges can be withdrawn at any time, and without notice.”
I thought that was clever.
