According to John Kerry, we have 9 years to start getting out act together and 29 years to hit net-zero on Carbon:
Kerry warns the US has 9 years to avoid worst climate consequences
From the article:
““The scientists told us three years ago we had 12 years to avert the worst consequences of climate crisis. We are now three years gone, so we have nine years left,” Kerry said. The former secretary of State appeared to be referring to a 2018 United Nations report, which warned that global emissions needed to decrease 45 percent by 2030 in order to avert 1.5 degrees of global warming… “We all need to develop not just a number but a road map for how we will actually make the dramatic progress we need to make over the next 10 years and what we will specifically do to get to net-zero by no later than 2050,” Kerry stated.”
The question that many experts are exploring now is, “have we already stretched nature so far that 1.5 degrees is impossible without drastic measures.
What Kerry should instead be doing is taking a big leap and advocating dramatic global measures. Net Zero should be happening in 10 years, not 30, and CO2 needs to be extracted from the atmosphere to boot. Fossil fuel consumption must end quickly and completely, and we must remediate the carbon dioxide we have already released. Why should Kerry do this?
- We have to do this if the planet is to survive
- Dramic steps like this will drive publicity
- If we turn on crisis mode behaviors, there is some hope that humanity can get the job done.
Trillions of dollars or infrastructure, millions of human lives and quadrillions of plant/animal lives are at stake. Humans must take drastic steps, and Kerry should be leading the charge globally.
