Submission + - Models Need an Upgrade: Plants Absorb 31% More Carbon Than Previously Thought (goodnewsnetwork.org)
An anonymous reader writes: “Figuring out how much CO2 plants fix each year is a conundrum that scientists have been working on for a while,” said Lianhong Gu, co-author and staff scientist in ORNL’s Environmental Sciences Division.
“The original estimate of 120 petagrams per year was established in the 1980s, and it stuck as we tried to figure out a new approach. It’s important that we get a good handle on global GPP since that initial land carbon uptake affects the rest of our representations of Earth’s carbon cycle.”
“We have to make sure the fundamental processes in the carbon cycle are properly represented in our larger-scale models,” Gu added. “For those Earth-scale simulations to work well, they need to represent the best understanding of the processes at work. This work represents a major step forward in terms of providing a definitive number.”
The new OSC approach yielded a total of 157 petatons per year, equivalent to the emissions of 37.36 billion international combustion vehicles.

"To suppress free speech is a double wrong, it violates the rights of the hearer as well as the speaker."-F. Douglass
I don't want anyone else making decisions on what I can, and can't hear. The beauty of free speech is that it usually says more about the speaker than the subject of the speech. 'Consent of the Governed' demands a fully informed public.
Any government that is losing credibility due to foreign influence of the public under their authority has bigger issues than foreign governments meddlin'...
Submission + - SPAM: Top MUST WATCH Moments From Glendale, Arizona
dbreeze writes: President Donald J. Trump just wrapped up remarks in Glendale, Arizona, where he spoke about his vision to lower the cost of living, secure the border, and make our cities safe again — and received key endorsements from special guests.
Here are the top MUST WATCH moments you missed:
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., endorsed President Trump: "Don't you want a safe environment for your children? ... Don't you want a president who's going to Make America Healthy Again?"
President Trump pledged to join with RFK, Jr. as they battle the political elites: "Bobby and I will fight together to defeat the corrupt political establishment and return control of this country to the people."
President Trump welcomed new supporters into the Make America Great Again movement: "We're welcoming support from millions of disaffected Democrats, Independents, moderates and old-fashioned liberals who still believe in things like borders ... democracy, liberty, and, of course, always the right of free speech."
President Trump was endorsed by the Arizona Police Officers Association: "If you support law enforcement and safe communities, vote Trump."
President Trump called out Kamala Harris for the brazen lies in her convention speech: "She lied about everything!"
President Trump hammered Kamala Harris over the epidemic of missing migrant children on her watch: "Many of these children are now in sex slavery or dead, never to see their homes or their parents again."
President Trump laid out his vision of returning America to economic prosperity once again: "Together, we will deliver low taxes, low regulations, low energy, low interest costs, low inflation ... we want to make sure everyone can afford groceries, a car, and a home."
