Perhaps the fact that we are conducting an unprecedented experiment with the only home we have, by digging up and burning massive amounts of fossil fuels that is driving global change at rates 10X faster than the most recent warming of this magnitude that occurred oh about 55 million years ago? 🧐

Not just co2.

The global economy burns oil so it can dig up and cremate the living planet. 18 TW electrical burn consumed the world’s mineral resources, oil and much more. The oil lasts 60 years more max. Transition alone needs it all.

co2 emissions continue to rise unbated for the mad rush to transition before oil is gone.

None of this is a surprise, perhaps the speed, chosen ignorance and number of people who could care less about their kid’s future is a surprise though #climatechange #climatecatastrophe
