It may slow down for a maybe short while the emission of greenhouse gases originated by permafrost thawing. But that won't solve that we keep adding big amounts of fossil carbon to the atmosphere, nor the amount of fossil carbon that w

I'm not saying that the mitigation shouldn't be done. What I am against is doing the side mitigation instead of going for the core problem solutions, or delaying them because your budget is focused by now on them, or first this, t

Mitigation as in hitting a wall at 180 mph instead of 200? Or hitting the wall in 32 years instead of 30? Everything helps, but in the end the solution to the problem is elsewhere. Not tackling the problem and only going to partial mitigati

If you capture the carbon to shortly after that burn it again you are not reducing the carbon in the atmosphere, you may be only reducing how much you add (maybe, if actually fossil carbon stops to be extracted). And the problem is that how

Didn't understand if it stops but do not bounce back light or if it lets light to pass as there was nothing there. Those are different ways to be invisible.

In the big numbers being in a rich family, in the right social group/culture and in the right country could influence a lot if you become (or continue to be) rich. And that is not an evenly distributed chance, nor requires very high IQ

It should be a lot of emergent weather events and other affected areas if global warming goes so high. The predictions of this article is pretty dry in that sense, sea rise, normal heatwaves, droughts, stronger storms, in general the same b

"fine within this timeframe", that may be shorter than you think. As things become more extreme new weather patterns seem to be emerging, with some weather events that surprised meteorologists. Think that a Canadian town at lat 50

If it was so short, why you just skimmed through it? You are seeing a few parts (titles, maybe a paragraph or two, a sample of the diagrams and pictures) and you are not seeing the system behind it. You have to read it whole to properly und

How much time for that? How big can that scale? To give an idea of the current trend, every single day, near 100 million barrels of oil are produced. Each of those barrels make between 500 and 750kg of CO2 equivalent (source https:/&#

We are not going to a new normal, because even if we stop everything feedback loops will keep worsening things till we can't adapt anymore, will be no mark in the sand saying that we will stay there. It is not just about temperature, o

No. The car will still be running even if we fully stop right now. There is an excess of carbon in the atmosphere, there are feedback loops that are emitting carbon due to the already existing warming, you don't shutdown the greenhouse

It is something that have to be done anyway, as the other benefits matter too. But how it is done could be the difference between a solution and a far worse problem. Global warming is already pushing toward more frequent forest fires, or dr

The most efficient carbon capture technology is not releasing the carbon in the first place. And if you think the consequences of doing that will be bad, not doing it will be far worse. Because when that starts to become even more evident y

We are not at the end of the process, but the beginning of it. And the change is speeding up, as positive feedback loops are being triggered. We probably won't end like Venus, but if nothing is done we will reach conditions not fit fo

Most countries had pledged to reach net zero by 2050, China at least said to reach net zero by 2060, with few exceptions. Of course, it must be achieved. But net-zero carbon emissions means that till that year, the GHG will keep accumulatin
