I opened the first IPCC report, released in 1990, and copied their scenario graph for CO2 emissions.

I marked the latest data with a red dot. Carbon dioxide emissions in 2023 were 40.7 GtCO2 (= 11.09 GtC).

Whatever you think about the IPCC you must admit their business-as-usual calculations were pretty robust.

Edit: previous version of this post also talked about methane, but here story is not as clear, see down below: https://mas.to/@jackofalltrades/111731258956894444

@[email protected] As to methane, it's more complicated, and it seems I've made a mistake. IPCC 1992 Supplement (pages 10 and 30) says that annual emissions of CH4 amount to about 500 Mt, of which 60% is anthropogenic. That would give 300 Mt though, but their graph clearly has a value of about 370 Mt. Maybe they overestimated them in the 1990 report?

23andMe “shamelessly” blaming users for data breach, lawyer says

Victims are still arguing that 23andMe's security measures were inadequate.

Remember back before systemd how when something went wrong on a computer it put text into a log file and you could find out what happened? That was neat. We should do that again.

Volgens Caroline vd Plas vallen de dieren rustig in slaap bij een #stalbrand. Vandaar zeker dat ze ondraaglijk gillen volgens brandweerlieden die zulke branden hebben geblust. https://www.pigbusiness.nl/artikel/246381-of-varkens-altijd-lijden-bij-stalbrand-staat-niet-vast/

Of varkens altijd lijden bij stalbrand staat niet vast | Pigbusiness.nl - Nieuws voor varkenshouders

Lijden varkens tijdens een stalbrand? De meningen zijn verdeeld. Varkenshouders geven vaak aan dat zij de dieren aantreffen alsof zij in hun slaap zijn overleden. Dierenorganisaties zeggen dat dieren levend verbranden. Elke situatie is echter anders.
