Preliminary study from one location, extrapolated globally using an AI driven data model
In 2023, the CO2 growth rate was 3.37 ± 0.11 ppm at Mauna Loa,

Again this is very concerning and something climate scientists did not plan for however, it is a preliminary study based on an AI model.
Of course human driven climate change is the main cause of the mass extinction in the current Holocene. Any unhandled variables in our research and prediction models must be taken seriously. I’m curious to see if this work will be corroborated from other data elsewhere in the globe, especially from McMurdo station and the CRU in Iceland.
How bad is it going to get before we fucking stop burning fossil fuels?
Honestly, we don’t even need to anymore, the only thing preventing it is cost, and any price is worth paying if we’re all going to be living in a furnace in a couple of decades
The only thing preventing it is a few greedy, sick little men with a lot of power. We are destroying life on our planet for their gain, though they already have many, many times more wealth than anyone could ever need or enjoy.
And their sycophants who will carry their lies to the next generation. It’s not just those that are directly responsible but also the willfully ignorant that are complicit.
A lot of people are going to die or be displaced before anyone does anything and when they finally do something about it I fear their solution won’t be accepting migrants unconditionally and trasferring all our labor into providing human necessities.
We could have avoided all of this had we just started to engage in a steady, slow program of finding +3% per year energy savings or carbon free power starting in 1993…
