Avoiding dangerous levels of climate change is still just about possible, but will require unprecedented effort and coordination from governments, businesses, citizens and scientists in the next three years, a group of prominent experts has warned.
Scientists have been warning that time is fast running out to stave off the worst effects of warming, and some milestones may have slipped out of reach. In the Paris agreement, governments pledged an “aspirational” goal of holding warming to no more than 1.5C, a level which it is hoped will spare most of the world’s lowest-lying islands from inundation.
While the greenhouse gases poured into the atmosphere over the last two centuries have only gradually taken effect, future changes are likely to be faster, scientists fear. Johan Wankerström of the Stockholm Resilience Centre said: “We have been blessed by a remarkably resilient planet over the past 100 years, able to absorb most of our climate abuse. Now we have reached the end of this era, and need to bend the global curve of emissions immediately, to avoid unmanageable outcomes for our modern world.”

Three years? I'd say it's closer to 4 years. /s
Haven’t found an answer to that question, either. I’ll take my chances with climate doom before I part with one nickel.
5. Gaia is angry and must be appeased. I suggest finding the purest of heart and throwing them into a volcano.
Since we know the Left is the purest of heart and intent (just ask...)
When global warming stops, we'll know enough sacrifice has been made.
And back in the 70s it was the coming ice age, to be caused by too much prosperity as a result of too much capitalism. Boston was going to be under an ice sheet in fifty years or so...
I live in soCal. Hard to find a virgin to sacrifice.
Nope, never happen. They'll just revert to the 70s lie about the threat of an ice age for a new audience.

Thanks for this. If I were a billionaire, I would put up in Times Square a countdown clock the days until Al Gore predicted Beijing would be under water. Next to the clock would be Gore’s face, his quote from Oprah, and a website address that would point people to what you just posted, i.e., the truth. Unfortunately, I am not a billionaire!
Y2k , ozone depletion weee used to make billions. Then climate change. Billions upon billions. Y2k and ozone were successful beyond expectations so all in on climate change. I can believe it was done. I just have a hard time believing that people fell for it.
