It’s 20 years since we started blogging on climate here on RealClimate (December 10, 2004). There is one graph that perhaps tells the story of what has happened since 2004, and it’s the Keeling curve shown in the figure below. Another thing I didn’t anticipate in 2004 was efforts such as the World Weather Attribution (WWA).

Without the considerable carbon absorption capacity of our lands (and oceans), we’d currently have much more CO 2 in the atmosphere and an accelerated timeline of warming. In North America, the land carbon sink between 2004 and 2013 offset roughly 39% of fossil fuel emissions , but varied substantially year to year.

To put this in perspective, Kees van der Leun tweeted last month, ” Annual global solar PV market hit the 1 GW mark in 2004. So, if our answers to climate change and air pollution are growing, with even global coal consumption peaking, why is there still more and more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere?

Studies show it may be possible through the adoption of improved farming practices which take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it in the soil. By the time Barry took over the farm in 2004, soils were dusty and depleted. Soil tests indicated that carbon levels were a low 0.4%. “It Berrada, A.F.,
