You forgot:
0) Since the troposphere has actually warmed only 0.5C in the last forty years, and the world is rapidly reducing human CO2 emissions (which turn out to be a smaller fraction of the total than previously thought), there is little to worry about, and we should direct our efforts at resolving more important issues.
- rcme 3y ago0.5C in 40 years sounds like a lot.

- ftxbro 3y agoI'm not an expert but my impression of the issue is like we are headed to (1) no matter what and they are trying to say that if we keep digging up and burning coal and venting or burning natural gas then we are in danger of reaching (2). But the headline says (3) and the deniers say (0).

This sure doesn’t look like a “rapid” reduction either https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-emissions-per-country?tab=chart&country=~OWID_WRL https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-emissions-per-... We’ve added 25% of ALL our Co2 emissions since 2010, and if current emissions remained flat we would add another 25% in ~15 years. But sure, let’s focus on 1 variable and live in denial.
- mitthrowaway2 3y ago> the world is rapidly reducing human CO2 emissions Since when? This is news to me.
- serf 3y agonews to me, too. there was a dip in 2020 apparently, but i'd hardly call that a trend -- and the reason is obvious: the world halted for a little bit.
- porb121 3y agogo ahead and google "co2 half-life in atmosphere" and "cumulative co2 emissions over time"
