Copied from just doing a search on Mammoth Mountain

 

300 Tons a Day of CO2 - thats over 90,000 Tons a Year

from just one volcano.  

 

Invisible CO2 Gas Killing Trees at Mammoth Mountain, California

Since 1980, scientists have monitored geologic unrest in Long Valley Caldera and at adjacent Mammoth Mountain, California. After a persistent swarm of earthquakes beneath Mammoth Mountain in 1989, geologists discovered that large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) gas were seeping from beneath this volcano. This gas is killing trees on the mountain and also can be a danger to people. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) continues to study the CO2 emissions to help protect the public from this invisible potential hazard.

Mammoth Mountain is a young volcano on the southwest rim of Long Valley Caldera, a large volcanic depression in eastern California. The Long Valley area, well known for its superb skiing, hiking, and camping, has been volcanically active for about 4 million years. The most recent volcanic eruptions in the region occurred about 200 years ago, and earthquakes frequently shake the area. Because of this, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) operates an extensive network of instruments to monitor the continuing unrest in the Long Valley area.

Numerous small earthquakes occurred beneath Mammoth Mountain from May to November 1989. Data collected from monitoring instruments during those months indicated that a small body of magma (molten rock) was rising through a fissure beneath the mountain. During the next year, U.S. Forest Service rangers noticed areas of dead and dying trees on the mountain. After drought and insect infestations were eliminated as causes, a geologic explanation was suspected. USGS scientists then made measurements and discovered that the roots of the trees were being killed by exceptionally high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in the soil. Today, areas of dead and dying trees at Mammoth Mountain total more than 100 acres. The town of Mammoth Lakes, just east of this volcano, has not been affected.

Geologists have detected CO2 emissions, like those at Mammoth Mountain, on the flanks of other volcanoes, including Kilauea in Hawaii and Mount Etna in Sicily. Measuring the total rate of CO2 gas emissions on the flanks of volcanoes or within calderas is difficult and labor intensive and is commonly done using portable infrared CO2 detectors.

Recent measurements at Mammoth Mountain indicate that the total rate of CO2 gas emission is close to 300 tons per day. This value varies on both short (days to weeks) and long (months to years) time scales because of changes in atmospheric conditions and in the rate at which gas is being released from beneath the volcano.

2018 SAW A GLOBAL REVOLT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES    https://dailycaller....olicy-protests/

 

It started in June with election of Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Ontario residents overwhelmingly voted Ford’s conservative coalition into power on a platform that included axing the Canadian province’s cap-and-trade program. 

 

In Australia, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull resigned after failing to pass a bill aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions. 

 

Washington State voters rejected the carbon tax measure in the November election. It was the second time in two years that Washington voters rejected a carbon tax ballot initiative.   

 

The November elections  saw the defeat of  Florida GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo, who introduced carbon tax legislation in July.   

 

French President Macron spent years styling himself as a staunch supporter of efforts to tackle global warming, including the Paris agreement. Indeed, raising taxes on diesel and gasoline was part of Macron’s plan to meet France’s Paris accord pledge.

 

It backfired. Angered over the new carbon taxes on fuel, tens of thousands of protesters, called “yellow vests” for the vests drivers are required to have in their cars, took to the streets calling for an end to the taxes and for Macron to resign.

Hey Greenies: Check out the global revolt against your green agenda... 

 

From Alberta to Australia, from Finland to France, and beyond, voters are increasingly showing their displeasure with expensive energy policies imposed by politicians in an inane effort to purportedly fight human-caused climate change.  

 

This global revolt tells portends the demise of the phony green agenda, which the public is increasingly onto.

 
The green agenda has decisively proven to have been a fraud and it's about time for something better on the environment. The green agenda is a failure and voters are wise to it. The gig is up.  https://www.american...een_agenda.html

The Green New Deal is a smoke-screen for govt control.

 

AOC'S Chief of Staff: 

 

“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.”

 

"Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”  https://www.washingt...-green-new-deal

WHAT ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE?!

 

Internet Has A Blast After Obamas Buy $15 Million Beachfront Mansion  

 

So Barack Obama has bought yet another house. He’s got a mansion in California, another in Chicago, plus there’s his massive residence in Washington, D.C., the one with the walls and fences to keep the riff-raff away.

 
The internet weighed in on the news:
 
"Barack Obama, who says climate change will put the coasts underwater in 12 years, just bought a multi-million dollar home in Martha's Vineyard right on the ocean. Somehow he doesn't act like he believes all this climate change junk, huh?"
 
“The Obama‘s totally reject socialism and buy another mega mansion – a $15 million dollar Martha’s Vineyard estate that they’ll only use a few weeks a year, in an attempt to set a new record for income inequality,”      https://www.thegatew...hfront-mansion/
