"In recent years Canada's claimed in its National GHG Inventory that the domestic Harvested Wood Products (HWP) industry is net Carbon negative. But this recent study argues this is misleading and that in fact the HWP industry is a net Carbon emitter of 80MtCO2e/yr"

"In the simplest sense the authors of the study are arguing that IF the Government isn't REPORTING wildfire and insect emissions on the claim these are "Natural" (which is the case) then it's not right for them to then claim sequestration from regrowth is "Anthropogenic""

"@ottawavalleywx That could work in theory but no government will ever go for it. It would grow our National carbon footprint by +30% (And just think of what [----] emissions will be once they parse out the share of wildfires taking place in managed land)"

"@ottawavalleywx Ok but even if we take [----] out of the mix and assume (conservatively) that only 20% of wildfire burn & insect emissions are from harvest-eligible areas thats still tens of Mt of CO2 on average each year that would be added to the Inventory going forward. Hard sell politically"

"@debit_downupper @GaryMarcus ChatGPT reminds me of that legendary guy who built an airplane from scratch inside his home and aeronautics experts said "yeah this would definitely fly". except he couldn't get the darned thing out of his house so it's 'effin useless for anything other than a good laugh"

"4) A few things happened in the early 1970s which eroded the foundations of embedded liberalism. First the Bretton Woods' fixed exchange system and Gold Standard were abandoned. This had all kinds of effects but importantly it created a global currency market (and volatility)"
