    The amount of CO2 & methane that needs to be removed from the atmosphere, now, to undo 5-9C of inevitable planetary heating…


    Evolution of global temperature over the past two million years https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798

    Factoring in the excess methane, only ( not including other greenhouse gasses ), that we’re producing, brings it up to 8-9C planetary heating, using methane’s 20y CO2 equivalent, & 1.3 to 1.4ppm atmospheric methane added by us.


    … is measured in the billions or trillions of tonnes.

    I’m beginning to think that all the “we can ride this” idocy should be considered a categorical psychiatric delusion.
