Game over

In the absence of transformative technology for global carbon capture and/or geoengineering, human civilization as we know it is doomed.

"Looking back over the past 12 months, it’s clear that the warning signs have been getting louder, and some climate scientists believe it may already be too late to save ourselves from disaster. Back in February, for instance, a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change indicated that 42 percent of the world’s population are living in areas deemed “highly vulnerable” to the impacts of climate change.

"Commenting on the report, UN secretary-general António Guterres said the globe is now doomed to become an “atlas of suffering”.

"In May, meanwhile, research indicated that there is a 48 percent chance that global temperatures will rise to 1.5°C (2.7°F) above pre-industrial levels within the next five years. This represents the lower acceptable limit of warming established by the Paris Agreement of 2015, which aims to prevent a catastrophic rise of 2°C (3.6°F)."

No, your Tesla won't help--it's recharging on fossil fuel. Replacing driving with walking and/or biking will at least help a little, as will buying locally sourced produce and avoiding meat. But the CO2 is already there and will take decades to dissipate. Meanwhile, permafrost and methane clathrate melting injects methane into the atmosphere, a far more potent greenhouse gas. I tremble for our children and grandchildren.
