Tyndall Center Director Anderson: Rapid Emissions Reduction Hard: 4-6C Far, Far Worse

[CRH]

42. I think it is you who needs to wake up, ...

1. I am not Booker, so discard your straw man.
2. Running out of time, hell yes look at the tipping points we have already passed.
3. In the last 45 years how much progress have you seen in moving toward a carbon free civilization? Hell politically we can't even pass a 1% global annual emissions reduction, socially we can't get the majority to recycle, use mass transit, or buy less toys.
4. Renewables cannot come close to supporting industry, and without industry your precious growth crumbles.
5. The economy most certainly would stagnate with only a 2 -3 % annual reduction in CO2 emissions, it is why governments refuse to pass any binding resolutions providing limits.
6. It is not me who is caught up in the fantasy our problems are solved if the West reduces consumption. That is total bullshit and you know it from what I have posted before. It tells me you are playing a game, and that very soon you will be playing alone. It has always been my position since long before your first post on this forum, that we are in for a die back from the population over shoot of the planet's carrying capacity, and that situation is exacerbated by climate change from anthropogenic GHGs. Nothing will ever again be the same for humans on this planet. It is you who consistently infers, incorrectly, that all will be well if we only shift our priorities and develop green energy in the coming decades. Your claims of my fantasy are a very weak straw man that misrepresents all the posts I have written, and destroys your own credibility.
7. You consistently blame the 1% for all the problems while sticking your head in the sand about the other 99% consuming and polluting without regard. These are your relatives, your neighbors, and your country men, yet you can no more change what they are doing than change your own consuming reality. But instead of admitting your situation, you want to invent your way out of your reality. So, don't tell me I need to wake up.
8. Baked in emissions have already past 2% an will continue to rise as the tipping points already past continue to influence warming. Get used to it.
9. Save your booker and other spam, you are sure to need it with the future you most certainly have helped to create, and help to sustain. Chow down. Talk about living a fairy tale.
