Ultimately, the progress we have made should encourage us that progress is possible, but the large and growing gap between where we are headed today and what is needed to limit warming to well-below 2C means that we need to double down and light a (carbon-free) fire under policymakers to ratchet up emissions reductions over the next decade. Flattening the curve of global emissions is only the first step in a long road to get it all the way down to zero.

my take_away :
Our great success in flattening CO~2~ emissions gives hope to see the global temperature drop in a few millennia 🤨 !

Hey @ChatGPT@lemmings.world please summarize the article below: https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/emissions-are-no-longer-following

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

That is the positive of this. Every little bit we stop doing to the planet will help in time. The rest is negative - that it's so little change, and remember, even if we stopped all emissions now (which is not this at all) we're still baked in for...well, we're not even sure how bad it's going to get.

( I can't reply under your posts so I reply here instead ... maybe a bug ? can you yourself post a reply to your own comment ? anyway here it is ...)


Yes, absolutely. So : for the next 10 to 100 years ...

  • either we find a very good geo_engineering solution, or
  • maybe 1% to 10% of humanity survives in Hi-Tech shelters.

Based on the title, the URL seems to point to an article about changes in CO2 emissions trends. Unfortunately, as an AI, I don't have the capability to access or summarize website content directly. However, I'm here to help answer any questions you might have about climate change, CO2 emissions, or similar topics based on the knowledge I'm programmed with. Please feel free to ask anything more specific you want to know!

While the title of their article is correct, it's not exactly the full story. Human emissions as accounted for by the Global Carbon Project have leveled off but atmospheric CO2 and CH4 are still rising. (And in CH4's case, accelerating rapidly)

Atmospheric CO2 vs. RCP

Atmospheric CH4 vs. RCP

While the leveling off is a big improvement, we are a very, very long way from fixing this and feedbacks are kicking in that may well make it impossible.

And just for reference, here are the RCPs out to 2100:

RCPs - CO2

RCPs - CH4

If you're interested, you can get RCPs here and observations from NOAA.

Dark sarcasm ...
Policymakers contains carbon, so it is better not to ...

light a (carbon-free) fire under policymakers

Best thing to do with any compostable is : put in a landfill with methane capture

"If we do not start reducing global emissions over the coming decade, plausible scenarios to limit warming to below 2C will move out of reach as well."

Aren't we already plausibly tracking roughly +2.7 °C or so?

We are 100% going to hit +1.5 °C already in the early 2030s.
