I am not endorsing this particular set of data, however, this is the type of discussions that will prove helpful for the public.

Single time constant, (click here) 2.5% per annum, exponential decline model gives an excellent fit between emissions (LH scale, coloured bands) and actual atmosphere (RH scale, black line). This confirms Roger Andrew’s assertion from a couple of weeks ago that it was possible to model sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere using a single decline constant. The Blue wedge at bottom is the pre-1965 emissions stack that is also declined at 2.5% per annum. The half life of ~27 years is equivalent to a residence time for CO2 of 39 years, slightly but not significantly different to Roger’s result.

Gone are the days when government operates without question. The facts on climate have been so oppressed for so long because right wing politicians simply didn't want to deal with it, circumstances have gotten far worse since the 1960s. If measures were taken then to address energy sources and auto emissions the world would not even be worried about a warming Earth. That is the truth and the technology today was available in the 1960s if the USA cared enough to develop it. At least California wasn't blind to the truth. If California wasn't leading the way regardless of the propaganda, the USA would still be wondering why all the drought.

Speaking of drought:

Salem, Ore. — Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (click here) has declared drought emergencies in four more Oregon counties, bringing the total to 19.
That's more than half of the state's 36 counties and the most since 2002, when 23 counties experienced drought emergencies.
"Oregon is only just beginning to face what will likely be an unprecedented wildfire season and drought," Brown said in a statement.
Brown used the announcement to push for a $56 million package in her proposed budget that would fund a statewide water resources program...

There were comments about private land ownership in the USA. There are plenty of land owners in the USA that own tracks of land.

He's from Kentucky, (click here) makes his own bourbon, drives a Ford pickup—and flies in a private plane.
These are some of the few details that have emerged about Brad Kelley, 55, a deeply private billionaire who made his fortune in the discount cigarette business. Mr. Kelley, whose hobbies include breeding rare, exotic animals, very rarely gives interviews. He doesn't tweet or use email.
He is also one of the largest private landowners in the country, spending by his own account hundreds of millions of dollars on about a million acres—or about 1,600 square miles... 

US Representative stated the President is going to create a monument of the Owyhee Canyonlands in Malheur County. That name "Malheur" turns up a lot in this part of Oregon. But, to address the Congressman's complain, there is no reason to complain.

Vale — The Malheur County Court (click here) has added its voice to the Owyhee Canyonlands debate, which is heating up.
The court adopted a resolution Wednesday opposing any move to create a new national monument to include the Owyhee Canyonlands or establish any other national monument, national conservation area or wilderness area on public lands within southern Malheur County.
The Oregon Natural Desert Association’s Owyhee Canyonlands Conservation Proposal seeks to protect public land in the county through a combination of National Conservation Area, wilderness, and wild and scenic river designations....

Ready for this? All this fuss over nothing. The President is absolutely correct. It is all politics. There is absolutely no reason why the Owyhee Canyonlands (click here) should not be a national monument.

Let me add one more thing about the lands in both these eastern regions of Oregon.

If there are droughted lands or over developed lands where rivers run, how is California going to solve it's drought problems. (click here)

The westerns states, whether they like it or not, are sometimes linked when it comes to climate and water supplies. There are healthy rivers right now in eastern Oregon. The Bureau of Land Management has it as it's jurisdiction. Those rivers are more valuable then gold. Until California and Earth are clearly out of the woods with this episode of anthropogenic warming they should be left alone. This are very healthy rivers. Leave it alone for now. No one is trying to go out of their way to be mean. The USA has to manage it's land with clear goals to prevent hardship for it's people and agriculture. The USA can feed the world today. That reality has to be respected.
