Not climate science. Not really.

And Now the Really Big Coal Plants Begin to Close
Old, small plants were the early retirees, but several of the biggest U.S. coal burners—and CO2 emitters—will be shuttered by year’s end

The sad part of this is that the workers will likely receive zero support from the government for finding new training and new work.
This is not climate science, and has now led to a considerable derail. Maybe there just isn't enough climate science to discuss. If you want, I can add some:
You know, the calculations of how much olivine to dump on beaches only seems to take into consideration compensating for human carbon inputs, but this is probably not enough. The arctic regions are thawing, and a feedback is under way. The smart money is on how to buy enough time to start solving climate problems, but there isn't really very much smart money these days.

Humanity is not anywhere near smart enough, collectively, to tackle the problem, let alone manage it. Maybe Jebus will come back.
