'Any growth is more than we can afford': Carbon dioxide pollution hits record high as planet warms

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Natural gas use is surging across the world and fossil fuel emissions are hitting records that are unsustainable for the planet.

A global decline in coal emissions in 2019 was offset by an increase in oil and natural gas emissions across the world.

"Any growth is more than we can afford right now," says Rob Jackson, an Earth systems scientist at Stanford University and director of the Global Carbon Project.

It's been yet another decade of lost opportunity to act on climate change.

Research published during the talks found that emissions have risen by 4% since the Paris agreement was signed in 2015, and cuts of more than 7% a year will be needed in the next decade to avoid dangerous levels of heating

2. "It's been yet another decade of lost opportunity to act on climate change."

The Republican Party is the one organization that could change the narrative and lack of action on the climate change and they could do it in one Congressional session. Instead, they deny and obstruct. I won the human lotto in terms of when and where I was born. I'll be gone before the worst starts to hit, although everything is accelerating faster than they predict. I read a recent article that said if you're under 60 you're going to see a lot of changes, and if you're under 40 you're going to see MAJOR changes.
