ITT we discuss possible solutions to curb carbon emissions and avoid escalating, nonlinear climate change
Whether governments continue to be so foolhardy as to allow or encourage development of all fossil fuels may determine the fate of humanity.

Really makes me think, also how are those polar bears, still in decline?
Maybe the geoengineering stuff has to stop and the global warming stops instantly

emission of CO2 and aerosols are a geoengineering of a king, but if both of those would drop to zero, the warming would actually accelerate and go on for several decades before leveling off

maybe we should end capitalism and become anarcho-primitivists

>the world's supposed to end in a decade if something isn't done soon
>action won't see results for decades
hmm
>>131388240
who says the world will end in a decade?
>Nuclear excavation
>setting off volcanoes
>covering large swaths of the ocean with black plastic
All you faggots want is a tax

make machines that spew mass amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere so more plants grow and cool the planet and provide habitat for more animals and make more food and trees to chop down for firewood and building houses
>>131386381
What a load of bullshit.

Al Gore, actually it was a decade ago that he said that.
A curve starting in 1880 is useless, the changes happen on longer timescales.

Literally the most retarded thing I've read.
>>131388640
more CO2 in the air would have a net warming effect, so that would exacerbate the problem

Volcanoes would cool the planet several tenths of a degree, but there are several deleterious effects: it would allow ocean acidification to go on unaltered, maybe even speed it up a bit because of the CO2 solubility in regard to ocean temperature.
Also more particulates and aerosols in the Troposphere increase the probability of extreme precipitation events (because these particulates act as water vapor condensation points)

no, the time scale is correct. Climate is a multi-decadal process by definition. You were right if that graph only covered one or two decades.
