Comment:
The climate crisis is here now and it is killing us now and every year the toll will increase. If we were to cease all carbon emissions today the world will continue to warm for another 30 years because of the long lag time. We need to choose the alternative but most quickly reduces greenhouse gases. There are a number of tipping points that we need to avoid. The oceans are warming, the ice is melting. As oceans warm methane can be released in massive amounts. As the Arctic warms the permafrost will release massive amounts of carbon, more than we have put into the air through all of the industrial revolution. These tipping points will take it beyond our ability to mitigate or adapt. Failure to act as aggressivly as possible may result in our extinction. Why take a chance on less than the most aggressive position.
