For decades, scientists have talked about so-called “committed warming” or the increase in future temperature based on past carbon dioxide emissions that stay in the atmosphere for well over a century. It’s like the distance a speeding car travels after the brakes are applied.
But Monday’s study in the journal Nature Climate Change calculates that a bit differently and now figures the carbon pollution already put in the air will push global temperatures to about 2.3 degrees Celsius (4.1 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming since pre-industrial times.
Previous estimates, including those accepted by international science panels, were about a degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) less than that amount of committed warming.
But it’s not game over because, while that amount of warming may be inevitable, it can be delayed for centuries if the world quickly stops emitting extra greenhouse gases from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, the study’s authors say.
its unscientific hysteria drivel. dont go there
liberalism relies on gaslighting and telling you that what you can see with your own eyes isn't real 👁️
liberalism this and liberalism that. the collapse sub is a cesspool or hysteria from all shades of liberalism. they thoroughly reject engagement in scientific arguments nothing of their discourse is grounded in science either. i dont understand what you're aiming at
