Q: What if all carbon emissions magically stopped completely today? A: There would be a tapering off in the rate of temperature increase as the climate catches up with all the carbon that’s on the loose. After maybe 40 more years of zero carbon emissions, the climate would begin to stabilize at a temperature higher than what was normal previous to the stoppage. This is the best case scenario, and that’s only IF mankind contributed no more carbon emissions. And this does not address the interplay of other negative effects of high CO2 on the environment such as ocean acidification, desertification, etcetera. Neither does it factor in the other greenhouse gases’ stories.

My Comment: It’s obvious to all that levels of greenhouse gases will continue to escalate. For how long and how much is unknown. Already the extinction rate is fifty times greater than normal. This clearly indicates that the Sixth Great Extinction is under way. The only difference between this one and previous extinction events is that they were because of natural catastrophes, whereas this one is man made. Therefore, “free will” is part of the equation.
