Record Warm Summers Cause Extreme Ice Melt In Greenland
Record Warm Summers Cause Extreme Ice Melt In Greenland. Science Daily.
Despite debate about reducing CO2 emissions, I think it is politically impossible. Humans are not capable of organizing themselves to do it. Self interest, denial, nationalism, religion, and too many other human organizational factors are in the way. At any rate, reducing emission growth is not enough. Almost all the predictions have not been negative enough, with actual observations soon outrunning even the pessimistic side of the predictions.
The absolute amount of CO2 is the atmosphere must not only soon stop going up, it must be reduced from current levels. The only thing that could do this is some invention. There are some possibilities.
Otherwise, human civilization is doomed and maybe the species itself.
