We might be closer to changing course on climate change than we realized | Greenhouse gas emissions might have already peaked. Now they need to fall — fast.
It's too late to have no identifiable impact, but absolutely not too late to stabilize temperatures — every 1/10 of a degree matters, and it's better that we do it now than wait until we've burned every last bit of coal, oil, and gas.
That's an article giving hope for sure. I don't know how realistic it is. Maybe there'll be an emmissions peak in 2024 while we should half emmissions by 2030.
The difficulty is: even if we're peaking, we have only a few years to half these emmissions, which means there is no time at all to relax. We need to push even harder.
I'm worried about many countries switching to natural gas and declaring natural gas climate neutral. I believe this could be a big threat.
Sidenote: maybe I'm getting just old, but I did hard concentrate on that article where every other word is bold.
