CO2 levels unprecedented rise

[Intel]

The Americans are leading the way on this.

Step 1 - Elect Donald Trump
Step 2 - Show Donald the big red button
Step 3 - Watch Donald hit the big red button "for the laugh"
Step 4 - Nuclear Winter blocks out sunlight and also removes the cause of CO2 production.

Instant global cooling and solves the root cause of the problem!

Job done.

Nuclear Winter blocks out sunlight and also removes the cause of CO2 production.

It will destroy volcanoes?

Human beings my dear BP. We're the ones raping the planet. If you reduced the population from 7 billion to 1 billion all of the issues go away. Reduce it to zero and the world would be a much better place for everything else.

Plus if we all lived in mud huts and used spears to kill our food getting rid of technology like electricity (OK it hasn't reached the North yet) then we can continue on our upward spiral towards survival.

H ow about you lead the way ?

Speak for yourself. I have a signed consent form.

I bet that before humans were around there were ice ages and stuff.

Scientific pseudo religious mumbo jumbo.

To hit those agreed targets the final usage of fossil fuels in 35 years tine needs to be 20% of what it is TODAY!

That's with another 2 billion people on the planet where 2 thirds of the current population don't even have electricity.
Where in large swathes of Africa unborn babies routinely die because of minor complications not discovered until too late because there isn't enough electricity to operate the ultrasound scans routinely - they're used after the problem has become apparent.

Man made or not, 'catastrophic' or not, real or not - doubling down on fossil fuel usage is the only way forwards.

If it's real and dangerous then the only way to deal with it is the way we always have dealt with the harsh reality of a world that will kill us any way it can find - industrial development.

Better by what standard? only humans have a standard for judging 'better' or 'worse'.

Not one single polar bear on the entire planet bear gives a tulip whether polar bears go extinct or not.

If you think the world would be better off without you, then you know what you need to do.

It would be ironic if after all the bleating about CO2 and global warming the human race was wiped out by a passing asteroid.

I'd laugh.

It doesn't need an asteroid to wipe out human civilisation - only anti-human environmentalists to convince us all to stop using fossil fuels in the short to medium term.

I'm not sure a 21st century medieval era would be worth saving.

What I find quite astonishing that despite the lessons of history people fail to acknowledge that humans move quickly in finding new technologies. why is it people talk as if we have reached the end of technological progress and fail completely to realise that things like the burning of fossil fuels will become a thing of the past pretty well automatically
