That was probably fairly accurate at that time.
Look at the historical data here:
https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions
BTW, the large recent drop in co2 emissions, covid.
"large"... If only. Barely a drop in the bucket.
I never thought I'd say this, but looks like we need more pandemics!
This is actually a thought that some climate deniers have. "Climate change is a hoax to control you, covid was the trial run".
Unsurprisingly, the people who say that publicly tend to be funded by oil.
Why doesnโt anyone ever think COVID was sent by God to give us a reprieve and a chance to get our act together, which weโre now squandering?
Good news! We're continuing to shit on our biodiversity safety net.
Seems like legally requiring hybrid work benefits would get us significantly closer to those goals
Whenever I think about this article, I think about how they could not have possibly known how emissions would grow, and they were perfectly reasonable to frame it this way. And if things stayed at that rate, we would have been able to do something about it so easily when we started getting worried
To be fair, in 1912 it was not at all obvious at which scale humanity started to burn everything after 1950.
The thing that really gets me about these ignorant fuckers is it's not just the indisputable math, it's that we've observed the proof not just in our ecosystem, but on Venus. You can't even pretend we don't know how these systems work in at least a general sense.
And this is when the topic was published by a newspaper.
If memory serves, the fist scientific publications were from the 1880s.
That may end up being correct. The models predicting the most catastrophic effects are often showing that for 2100, which would be nearly 200 years from the publish date.
And my friends and family wonder why I'm not having kids. I'm sure eager to bring new life in right before one of the most cataclysmic events of humanity, that's for sure.
just could not imagine the scale at which human civilization would escalate. Apart from that, spot on.
That's like 30 years after the concept was first understood. Even now the concept is downplayed so people don't reject it outright
And even today, almost no one truly understands the implications of exponential growth... I'd give them full marks
1&1/10th is indeed a very few centuries.
The German Federal Public Radio (Deutschland Funk) has a Radio Documentary Series, about particular historical Topics called "Der Rest ist Geschichte". Mostly academic experts explain the topics from the academic view for "common" people. They made a interesting one about the History of the Knowledge about the climate crisis.

Afaik there is no English version :<
WARKWORTH was Wokewarth, am I right?
Humanity: Hold my pint.
Why did they not print the whole of 'Affecting' on a new line, that's bothering me
