Global emissions have risen by around one per cent each year since 2010 Scientists say that global warming of 1.5°C (2.7°F) is now almost inevitable By

The world's carbon emissions hit an all-time high in 2023, a new report has revealed.

Scientists from the Global Carbon Budget Project found that 36.8 billion tonnes of CO2 were released into the atmosphere this year - an increase of 1.1 per cent compared to last year.

To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, emissions will need to fall by a whopping 8.9 per cent each year, experts say.

Lead researcher, Professor Pierre Friedlingstein, says that efforts to cap emissions have been 'painfully slow'.

The scientists now believe that global warming of more than 1.5°C (2.7°F) is almost inevitable.

Even as the world's leaders gather to discuss climate change at COP28, the study found that emissions due to fossil fuels rose year on year.

However, the total increase was not distributed evenly across the world.

The largest total increases came from India and China, where carbon emissions rose by 8.2 and four per cent respectively.

All the carbon goes into the growth of tree trunks. Ever wonder why around the roots of trees there isn’t a huge divot? It’s because the majority of the materials does NOT come from the soil. Photosynthesis of extracting CARBON and Di-Oxygen (CO2) using sunlight and water through the roots to use the CARBON to built the stems, trunks and branches.

But, but CO2 saved the world from THE COMING ICE AGE of the 1970s!

“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”

AND WE DID IT! No mention of THE COMING ICE AGE since the 1980s!

Wonder how many remember THE COMING ICE AGE scare of the 1970s when it was proposed to mine coal, grind it to dust, mix it with oil and spray it on the glaciers and ice sheets to INCREASE the absorption of sun rays to counteract the build up of ice. I remember it well.

Here is how the Coming Ice Age would affect us by Betty Friedan.. Read and laugh at the past!

Brrr....

Good thing God designed the earth and its atmosphere, and not these yokels from the local fright club.
Inconsequential hyperbole.

So?

Well I believe in an afterlife and my forecast is severely warm temps for these types and it won’t be CO2 causing it
