Warmists Come Up With A Roadmap To Meet Paris Climate Goals Or Something
Listen, I read a lot of science fiction and horror stories. I love a good space opera story, and I love a good zombie book. I like those Kaiju type books, and ones like Jake Bible’s Mega series. A good mystery. Some vampires (not sparkly). All sorts of fiction. But, really, it’s all more believable than this schlock being pushed by the Cult of Climastrology
Scientists made a detailed “roadmap” for meeting the Paris climate goals. It’s eye-opening.
(yammering about the Paris climate agreement)
In a new paper for Science, a group of European researchers lay out a more vivid way to frame the climate challenge — with details on what would have to happen in each of the next three decades if we want to stay below 2°C.
They start with the big picture: To hit the Paris climate goals without geoengineering, the world has to do three broad things:
1) Global CO2 emissions from energy and industry have to fall in half each decade. That is, in the 2020s, the world cuts emissions in half. Then we do it again in the 2030s. Then we do it again in the 2040s. It’s a wrenching, ambitious plan, and they dub this the “carbon law.” Lead author Johan Rockström told me they were thinking of an analogy to Moore’s law for transistors, and we’ll see why.
2) Net emissions from land use — i.e., from agriculture and deforestation — have to fall steadily to zero by 2050. This would need to happen even as the world population grows and we’re feeding ever more people.
3) Technologies to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere have to start scaling up massively, until we’re artificially pulling 5 gigatons of CO2 per year out of the atmosphere by 2050 — nearly double what all the world’s trees and soils already do.
It’s utter fantasy. Are we supposed to stop feeding people? By 2020, no more of what they falsely call subsidies to the fossil fuels industry (which would mean those things which are actually tax breaks would be taken from every other company that uses them), no more coal plants allowed, and all sorts of commitments. And then the real pain starts
2020-2030: Now the hard stuff begins! In this decade, carbon pricing would expand to cover most aspects of the global economy, averaging around $50 per ton (far higher than seen almost anywhere today) and rising. Aggressive energy efficiency programs ramp up. Coal power is phased out in rich countries by the end of the decade and is declining sharply elsewhere. Leading cities like Copenhagen are going totally fossil fuel free. Wealthy countries no longer sell new combustion engine cars by 2030, and transportation gets widely electrified, with many short-haul flights replaced by rail.
So, lots of taxes and restrictions on people’s travels…interesting how this is mostly solved by these, eh?…all while decimating one of the biggest industries on the planet, putting huge numbers of people out of work. People forced to travel like it’s the late 1800’s on trains, instead of planes.
And, of course, relying on technologies that do not work and others that do not exist.
Seriously, how does all this work if members of the Cult of Climastrology refuse to practice what they preach today?
