Here's a mind blowing thought. Consider this.

We fundamentally misunderstood the Earth’s Climate System from the very beginning. We didn’t know that we were living in an exceptionally cold period.

The Crisis Report — 08 (part two)

I’m going to be blunt. We have already locked in 4C-5C of warming.

We didn’t know this is the coldest the planet has been in 300my. We didn’t know that CO2 levels were extremely low in terms of the last 500my.

We didn’t have the Ice Cores telling us that over the last 3 million years the level of atmospheric CO2 has only fluctuated between 180ppm and 280ppm. And that 100ppm fluctuation caused 6C of global temperature change.

The difference between the New York of today and New York under a mile of ice.

We didn’t know that the CO2 level was so low. And we didn’t understand that Global Warming is “front loaded”.

That the biggest surge of warming happens at the beginning.

When CO2 levels are the lowest.

180ppm-280ppm raised the GMT 6C.

In the paleoclimate record going from 280ppm-400ppm raises the GMT another 4C.

We are now at 420ppm.

We are going to get 4C of warming by 2070.

There was NEVER any safe amount of CO2 we could dump into the atmosphere. This is our LAST CHANCE to mobilize and try and save our civilization.

How much is our civilization worth do you think?
