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.

No, it was Joe’s doing. He went to Glasgow, and as a result the whole world got time on for good behavior. Every time the years become too few, it’s up to POTUS to fly to a conference, preferably with a live chicken under his arm, lay a big fart with some wet stuff at the end, and that buys us all time.

We only had 11 years 21 years ago. Don't these people know anything?

Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels...

Hi.

An anthology. 50 years ago we we’re all going to die of global cooling. 30 years ago we we’re all going to die of global warming. 20 years ago and now, give or take 11 years, we’re all going to die of climate change.

Reminds me of the movie, “The Sting.”
