   You don’t need a state of the art supercomputer to see where Earths temperature anomaly is heading, and we know that even if we stopped carbon emissions there would be a multi decade lag before we will be able to measure any effect.

   I guess the rise in temperatures still needs pointing out regularly, less the mass human low attention span kicks in.

   ========================================

   “It Could Be Decades Before Emissions Cuts Slow Global Warming, Scientists Warn.

   Over the last half-century, human activity has loaded the atmosphere with more than a trillion tonnes of planet-warming CO2, a gas that lingers for hundreds of years.

   “Human-induced climate change can be compared with an ocean tanker at high speed in big waves,” said Samset.

   “You can put the engine in reverse, but it will take some time before you start noticing that the ship is moving more slowly.”

     “Earth Could Hit Critical Climate Threshold in Next Five Years

     “Limiting warming to 1.5 C [2.7 F] is possible within the laws of chemistry and physics,” Jim Skea of Imperial College London, one of the authors of the 2018 IPCC report, told NPR’s Christopher Joyce in 2018, “but doing so would require unprecedented changes.”

   As long as CO2-levels rise the temperatures will rise to. CO2-emissions have to go down on a more permanent basis then just a economic crisis. CO2-emissions will only go down if we use less fossil fuel. It is as simple as it gets.

   We tell them so. They deny.
   We tell them so. They deny.

   It gets to the point where it hits them personally, and they’ll just complain “You just love being able to say ‘I told you so’.”

   Ignore the whumping sound of my head hitting my desk.
