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.

The only way my family survived the Great Starvation of the 1980s was by eating remaindered copies of Ehrlich's The Population Bomb.

Right now the race seems to be between those who are using 1984 as an instruction manual, those using Brave New World (with forced drugging and birth control) and those using Fahrenheit 451.

The ancients wrote their history on stone tablets; we have written ours on the equivalent of an etch-a-sketch.

Gore declared that unless we took “drastic measures” to reduce greenhouse gasses, the world would reach a “point of no return” in a mere ten years. He called it a “true planetary emergency.”

We don’t need to worry about 11 years.
Apophis (Wormwood?) will be here sooner, on April 13, 2029.

Ozone Hole
Acid Rain
Spotted Owl
All weaponized causes which resulted in near zero changes and then magically vanished from talking heads.

I remember when the MSM reported an actual photo of the Ozone Hole from space.
It was an Aurora Borealis seen from space.
No one ever questioned it.

11 more years? It’s like the old Bennie Youngman joke:

“Doctor told his patient, ‘You only have six more months to live.’ Patient said he couldn’t pay him. Doctor gave him six more months.”
