Hat tip to Harold Hansel.
But, but...." Scientists estimate that humans can pour roughly 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by mid-century and still have some reasonable hope of staying below 2C,” - Bill McKibben

Methane levels: Code Red
A
report from Harold Hansel,
Via
Facebook
The
color code has changed.
There should be no red or pink on this map if
we are planning on surviving. Temperature follows the powerful
greenhouse gas methane.
Oceanographer John Church says with an
allegory that the oceans are absorbing heat equivalent to 17
Hiroshima bombs a second. The oceans cannot take this indefinitely.
The oceans are switching from absorbing heat to producing it . The
atmospheric temperatures can be expected to increase.
This isn't in
the next thousand years.
This is now and especially in the next four
or five years.
For the new people to the methane issue, Dr. James
Hansen considers 1250 ppb as the maximum sustainable level of methane
in the atmosphere.
As you can see, 1250 ppb on the color scale is
coded as yellow and light green.
Still we quibble over whether the rise in temperature is natural or human made while doing nothing to mitigate it.
ReplyDeleteIf your a frog sitting in water in a pot that keep getting warmer, do you really care who turned on the heat, no, you just want to hop the fk out!
Unfortunately, our "pot" has a lid.
Sheila,
ReplyDelete"Unfortunately, our pot has a lid". A great analogy... Hope there exists something that can blow it off?
Unfortunately, the train has left the station already and the situation is beyond mitigation. We will live the consequences.
