A Changed Planet
Record High and Accelerating Temperatures CO2 Levels and Global GHGs Emissions .
Common sense would tell us that climate
catastrophe is shown by the record to date of sky rocketing global temperatures, atmospheric GHGas levels and global GHGas emissions.
To know that the world is Hell bent for global climate catastrophe the only science we have to know is that carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere (CO2) causes the planet to heat up.
See how the record shows today the temperature and GHGas levels are many
times higher than their average over the past one thousand years.
Today global emissions are still accelerating.
This
is a chart of global climate catastrophe. \
It's that simple.
The latest ice core record goes back 800,000 years.
Homo Sapiens has been around about 250,000 years.
A climate fit for agriculture
10,000 years
The global temperature barely ever goes above a 2oC warming.
Scientists agree that it is now too
late to avoid a global warming of 2.0oC (with current technology).
We must clearly face catastrophe. But the
world is in denial.
Ice Core Record of Temperature variation 800,000 yrs
In terms of what this means for the biosphere and all life that it sustains this version of the picture tells the real story.
We are on a fast track down hill.
Global Climate Catastrophe
Changing Planet Earth - For Ever
Except for James Hansen climate change scientists do not infer catastrophic global climate change risk
from the current deviations
of extents and rates of the state of the planet from the past.
Precaution and common sense would take this as the first guide to use.

Today's world leaders and the current fossil fuel dominated dependent global economy have the world fixed on a heading for a global
warming of 6oC or above by 2100.
That puts us back 70 million years.
