We could stop all emissions tomorrow and it wouldn't be enough, because the CO2 level is already too high.

- sp332 3y agoWe've locked in 1.5C, but we can still avoid worse changes. It's not pass/fail.
- c00lio 3y agoIt'll be fine even at 3.0C. The IPCC report has scenarios up to 5.0C, and if you carefully read those and compare the population adversely affected to the overall population of the planet, you'll see that mankind will not end from climate change. Not even remotely.
- DennisP 3y agoOf course, but even the best case isn't great. If we can draw down a large amount of CO2, the best case can be significantly better. The potential for serious positive feedbacks makes this even more important.
