Interesting to see the regeneration of Fynbos vegetation at Silvermine Dam near Cape Town
The area burnt in April 2025 (see link in last post), the orange flowers are Watsonia, and the burnt flower is a Protea
There is quite a lot Bracken but it’s growth seems to be limited by shallow soils

There is a strong relationship between temperature & cumulative CO2 emissions.
The relationship is different for CO2 concentration, but approximately linear:
* CO2 concentration grows faster than cumulative emissions
* Declining CO2 emissions leads to declining concentration

Russia is selling oil at $34, gutting budget revenues. Deficits are funded by massive bond issuance, draining bank liquidity forcing permanent central bank support. Deposits are leaving, defaults & restructurings are rising, real spending is falling, civilian output is shrinking.
