Wow, it's cold in Texas; had to turn the heat on in the apartment today. Global warming? LOL. The atmospheric CO2 must have dropped below 400 ppm. By the way, rumors are there's an atmospheric CO2 app for the new Apple Watch. It comes pre-installed on the Algore Apple Watch edition. $15,000 edition. Just a rumor.

Today's atmospheric CO2 report:

For the women, and perhaps for some of the men out there, the book recommendation for this month: Jane Hawking's Traveling To Infinity: The True Story Behind The Theory Of Everything. Surprisingly good. Especially for Anglophiles.

Good news: Stark County (Dickinson area) rejects new wind farm. The Dickinson Press is reporting:

Applause erupted Tuesday morning after the Stark County Commission rejected a conditional use permit for an 87-turbine wind farm stretching between Richardton and Gladstone.

The developer, NextEra Energy, is headquartered in Florida. Needs to go back home.  NextEra  has no wind farms or solar farms in its home state.
