My wife and I went in summer nearly 50 yrs ago. Spent 4 nights in the park. 2 nights tenting in the back country (where I freaked my wife by reading from Night of the Grizzlies); 1 night at๐ Sperry Chalet www.sperrychalet.com (much cheaper then & with the glacier; 1 night in the park lodge.๐๐๐๐

What's in a name?
NOAA is now using "Gulf of America" for historical events. "The 2010 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and fire resulted in the most significant offshore oil spill in U.S. history when an estimated 3.2 million barrels of oil escaped into the Gulf of America ..."
My next vacation spot is definitely the Gulf of Steve Martin.
The Doge I can get behind.
Philip Larkin didnโt get it.
Fortunately, I am in no immediate need of blankets.

Try the onion song.
โNo onions for the Austrians is one inspiring call to arms.
Not to early to think about National Hedgerow Week. The oldest hedgerow in England was planted more than 900 years ago. Credit: The Wildlife Trusts.
It is correct that *talking* about CCS and CDR is greenwashing. Our job is to move past talking about it, to requiring it for any emissions not avoided by other means. Adopting that policy today would drive a lot more wind, solar, efficiency to minimize the firmโs CCS obligation.
We canโt do CCS instead of viable emission avoidance measures. It is an ADDED tool in the toolbox. And yes, it must be designed and operated for 1000+ year retention. CCS use today for EOR is due to policy failure, not technology constraints.
Job 1 is to minimize cumulative CO2, starting today: we need massive deployment of today's tools (wind, solar, efficiency) and rapid development of currently costly additional tools like CCS and CDR. We are running both a sprint and a marathon.
The paper you cite argues FOR geologic injection of captured CO2 as the required method to prevent warming from residual and historic CO2 emissions.
Trapping mechanisms for injected CO2 are well understood. Highest leak risk is during injection phase, when CO2 plume is buoyant. Solubility trapping ends the bouyant phase--5ish decades after injection. That's the period we need active rules to prevent leaks. www.geo.arizona.edu/~reiners/geo...
would love to see the GANTT chart
Kemper was an economic and policy failure. Economic because with lower gas prices it turned out to be cheaper to never operate the coal gasifiers and just run the unit on gas. Policy failure because with no CO2 emission limits, running on gas with no capture was legal.
Over here now too
