🧵 Sydsvenskan skriver om LST Skånes miljömålsbedömningar. Artikeln har ganska stort fokus på miljömålet jag ansvarar för: "Hav i balans samt levande kust och skärgård".
Jag gillar att man lyfter shifting baseline-syndromet - att vi börjar glömma bort hur friska hav och goda fiskbestånd ska se ut.

I have a new estimate:
Earth's albedo (reflectivity) has declined about 0.55% since 2000 (CERES data), the so-called "great darkening."
Just to restore the albedo lost since 2000 would require a band of mirrors (92% efficient) circling the earth at the equator about 90km wide.
