Climate Change Is Now, How Much More Carbon Can We Burn?

The research was put out this week and was led by Myles Allen, a climate expert at Oxford University.

The study was carried out to try and gauge the state of global carbon emissions.

What they found is that the globe has already managed to burn up half of the fossil fuels needed to really warm us up.

This means we are already halfway there to increasing our average global temperature by 2 degrees Celcius.

The scientists are urging us to try and limit the amount of carbon that goes into the atmosphere.

CO2 is causing major issues, and is something that the entire world needs to take a very close look at.

There have been pushes by many countries to curb emissions, but a global effort may be needed to get the job done.

In order to avoid the increase in the average global temperature, we can only burn another half trillion tons of carbon or CO2.

If we continue at the pace we are at and burn more than that, the rise in the average global temperature may be even greater.

This was presented this week and is also talked about in Nature magazine.

    Global warming is a scam, and it has become a religion requiring belief. All data is easily explained by sun spot activity and cyclical ocean currents, peaking in in about 1999. What happened to the ozone hole? Or the ice age from the ’70’s? THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING.
