Earth has 11 years to cut emissions to avoid dire climate scenarios, a report says
NPR ^ | 4/11/21 | Scott Neuman

The current rate of greenhouse gas pollution is so high that Earth has about 11 years to rein in emissions if countries want to avoid the worst damage from climate change in the future, a new study concludes.

Despite dipping in 2020 because of the global pandemic, greenhouse gas emissions are on track to return to pre-pandemic levels, according to the annual Global Carbon Budget report.

The findings, currently under review before publication, underscore that the urgency of cutting emissions is even greater than previously thought if the world is to avoid a rise in average global temperatures that is greater than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels. That was the goal set by the 2015 Paris climate agreement and pursued by countries currently gathered for a major United Nations climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland.

Again? Doesn't NPR preaching climate change with public funds violate the "establishment of religion" clause?

I thought we had less time, as per what AOC told us back some two or three years ago.

Here's my problem. Apparently, the perfect temperature for the earth was just previous to the industrial revolution when Co2 was at "x". Why then? Why not in the time of the Fall of the Roman Empire. So the premise of the "point in time" itself makes no sense.

There has to be some correlation between population and Co2 since Co2 must be sufficient to support that population, its vegetation and animals.

But todays population is much greater today and it follows that more Co2 is necessary to support todays population.

The entire premise that Co2 is the factor to change is ridiculous. Mother Nature will not obey mans arrogant premise. We cannot control climate.

We can however control "money" and that's what makes this a crusade which will produce "0" change in climate....but plenty of people will lose and make money.

Bottom line...the care of the earth cannot survive without fossil fuels. They've been used since the beginning of time.

We only had 15 years left forty years ago. The climate has always been changing and there’s not a thing we can do about it, despite with these arrogant fools have to say.

These climate catastrophe predictions never end! When this 11 years passes and the “dire scenarios” don’t happen these hustlers will issue another prediction.

There is a lot of scientific items missing from Google. Not just climate change, covid related, homeopathic treatments...

I was looking for an article on Friday and not only was it no longer available, the entire topic had been scrubbed.

Years ago, years ago...Glenn Beck said to start to save books. History books, dictionaries, etc. His reason for collecting them was a bit different, but he was correct.

2020 was the year of cancel culture, we are now well into censorship at an unprecedented level. It is essentially modern day ‘Book Burning.’ The only difference is we don’t see libraries on fire yet.

When all the books are gone, when all the internet is scrubbed of truths, what world will we live and die in then?
