ROME — Climate change alarmists are pressing for faster transition away from affordable fossil fuels, insisting that the world has only nine years to avoid a “critical climate change threshold.”
Citing the yearly Global Carbon Budget report, Zack Budryk wrote in the Hill Friday that humanity must radically reduce its consumption of fossil fuels to avoid crossing the 1.5-degree warming threshold, warning that at current levels that threshold will be reached in just nine years.
Assuming 2022 emissions levels, the Global Carbon Budget to limit global warming to 1.5, 1.7, and 2º C has reduced to the equivalent of 9, 18, and 30 years, the report stated.
The authors of the report assume a likelihood of 68 percent that “the true value will be within the provided range,” a choice that reflects “the difficulty of characterizing the uncertainty in the CO2 fluxes between the atmosphere and the ocean and land reservoirs individually, particularly on an annual basis, as well as the difficulty of updating the CO2 emissions from land-use change.”
The report projects that China will have cut its carbon emissions by about 0.9 percent in 2022, while the European Union is believed to have reduced emissions by around 0.8 percent. The report expects the U.S. to have increased its emissions by 1.5 percent over the same period and India to have increased emissions by 6 percent.
Leaders meeting at COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh “will have to take meaningful action if we are to have any chance of limiting global warming close to 1.5°C,” Pierre Friedlingstein, the report’s lead author, said. “The Global Carbon Budget numbers monitor the progress on climate action and right now we are not seeing the action required.”
... highlighted the steps countries can take to “get back on track,” especially “accelerating the transition to renewable...”

They have been claiming “nine years to ruination” for more than 40 DAMN YEARS!
How come no one in Congress or the US enemedia has noticed this?
BOTTOM LINE:
These elite idiots want to cut the world population by at least HALF....
Thought it was 8.3 years just last week?
One of the things I learned from studies in geology is that climatic changes tend to happen slowly, then all at once.
Geologically speaking, we are barely out of the last ice age. Of course it’s warming. We are coming out of a deep freeze that lasted 60,000 years.
Plenty of time, call me in 8 and a half years...
They don’t get to keep changing the date every few years. Aoc said 9,years left about 3 years ago! Every time their rediculous predictions don’t come true, they tack on more “years left before such and such happens “
Those are billions of souls that these b’tards want to murder.
Ah, another NEW deadline. How many of these phonies’ deadlines have we passed so far?
I’m fast approaching my threshold for climate thresholds.
And once that threshold has passed, I will magically have a new threshold.
Liars, nothing but liars, lying to advance their commie BS!
Fuel shortages, food shortages, restricted medical care, doctor assisted suicide, abortion on demand, destroy the family, mutilate and molest your children, no borders, empty prisons, streets flooded with deadly drugs, silence religious expression, destroy our freedoms and our Constitutional Republic,..... (what'd'I miss?)
They just need to stop lying.
The Democrats are going to screw us over.
Just stop lying about it.
Stop talking intelligently and scientifically. You’re destroying Al Gore’s arguments and facts.
I guess I don’t have to pay taxes anymore?
Since we’re all gonna die!
It reminds me of the Armageddon mongers who are constantly finding correlations between current events and scripture.
One thing to keep in mind. It’s not just a power play. They are trying to kill us all.
The climate change crisis, formerly known as global warming, is obviously a fraud. But the fraud goes on and on, with no end in sight. Is there intelligent life on earth? Some, but they aren’t in charge of any government I am aware of.
The Democrats don’t really worry about tax money anymore.
They have deficit spending.
They can spend as much as they want.
You only pay taxes so they have some control on you.
For 40 years, it’s been “If we don’t fix this in 10 years, we will have reached the ‘tipping point’ and it will be too late. Then there is nothing we can do about it because the wheels are in motion.”
If their forecasts 40 years ago, 30 years ago, 20 years ago, and 10 years ago had been accurate and true, we would have been in a runaway situation for 10 to 30 years from which we cannot return.
Yet we are obviously NOT in such a runaway cycle, thus disproving all their Chicken Little predictions. So why should we believe THIS Chicken Little prediction?
