The thing about planting trees to remove carbon is that it makes no difference. In the end - at some future time - probably in about a hundred years that tree will come down and liberate all of its sequestered carbon. This would be fine if all carbon emitted to the atmosphere was from the biological carbon cycle.

It isn't. WE have been digging up fossilised carbon and liberating it. Two thousand, billion tones so far. Fossilised carbon release can not be counteracted by tree planting. Tree planting carbon sequestration is temporary only unless we cut down the trees and bury them permanently.

In the complicated self delusional world of carbon accounting, it all depends on where the boundary is drawn. That's roughly how wood burning power stations get away with it.

If woodland / tree planting / other biofuels are dedicated to a particular purpose, then the emissions of one can be set against the carbon absorption of the other. Net zero.

At the rate we are replacing gas power stations with solar and wind, the problem with burning fossil fuel will be gone in a generation. Over population will be the problem of the day because automation driven by ai will make 9/10 of us more or less redundant.

Think back to December, when for a month the rather splendid installed wind generating capacity of around 30 Gigawatts averaged an actual generation of about 10 gigawatt. Of course, at that point in the year, solar was negligible. There were many days when the actual wind output was as low as 1 Gwatt. I check almost every day and it was obvious and is obvious that we can never be free of gas turbines at least as a backup.

Methane is a low carbon fuel. When you burn methane you get 2 molecules of water and one molecule of co2 (methane is CH4). Compared to coal or oil it is very low carbon.

You are right about the population. the Utopian sort think that automation and AI will usher in a heavenly period where people will spend their days in delightful leisure, supported by the wealth generated by giant general AI. Dream on. All that wealth generated by AI will be in the hands of giant corporations headed up by people like Musk and governed abroad by the likes of Trump. They are not going to hand over that wealth to support Utopian projects then, anymore than they do now.

3 Coal Fired power stations in Ireland closed down.
Meanwhile China building 100 New Coal powered stations in 2025 to make Windmills for us Paddys, hehe.
Then Storm Eowyn blew them all away, making Frisbees of the solar flaps that ended up in the Irish sea!
Hello Greening World :)

I am not sure about that. The conspiracist in me says that somebody profited from a panic selling of overvalued AI companies' stock. All the big players in AI: Open AI, Anthropic, Palantir, Microsoft, Tesla, and AI hardware related Nvidia, AMD, SMCI are all vastly overvalued to the tune of trillions. So if you can trigger a panic selling, you can make hundreds of billions in a day. The mechanics of how to create another DeepSeek R1 is well understood for months. The cleverness of what happened is they documented step by step an easy recipe using only open source ingredients that any average computer science undergraduate can follow. You can build your own 'DeepSeek Rx' using a good home PC with 16GB+ vram and Ollama or similar. The recipe is on many GitHub sites. One guy on youtube did just that as a demo. He trained his 1.5B Qwen model for reasoning in just 15 minutes on his PC.

I am using DeepSeek releases since over 9 months. The results have been great all the time but are getting better and better. I am running locally on my Linux PC all Qwen based DeepSeek R1 models and they are all great. The 1.5B model works fantastic when you are using it in the q16 variant. It is really killer. Inference is not very fast since I am running all models (from 1.5B up to 32B) on my CPU Ryzen5 8600G WITHOUT a dedicated GPU adapter. The CPU uses up to 40GB of my 64GB RAM for the 32B model. With good prompting the results are fantastic and save me hours of work every day. The dynamic memory allocation of the 8600G is great and allows me to run powerful LLMs with a small budget. My PC has cost me $900.
