James Hansen, a climate scientist who shook Washington when he told Congress 33 years ago that human emissions of greenhouse gases were cooking the planet, is now warning that he expects the rate of global warming to double in the next 20 years.

While still warning that it is carbon dioxide and methane that are driving global warming, Hansen said that, in this case, warming is being accelerated by the decline of other industrial pollutants that they’ve cleaned from it.

Plunging sulfate aerosol emissions from industrial sources, particularly shipping, could lead global temperatures to surge well beyond the levels prescribed by the Paris Climate Agreement as soon as 2040 “unless appropriate countermeasures are taken,” Hansen wrote, together with Makiko Sato, in a monthly temperature analysis published in August by the Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions center at Columbia University’s Earth Institute.

1. Sad but the powers that be don't really care - Al Gore got

it right - it is an "Inconvenient Truth". We will do a little knowing that it is not enough and then whine and cry that the government is not doing enough.

In reality no one is willing to make the sacrifices necessary to combat climate change. We had much rather ignore it and talk about things like Socialism, Christianity, Communism, those nasty brown people at our borders, and Transgender bathrooms.

Sorry kids - we didn't mean to fuck you...
