Reply #12: On Global Warming -- FIRST AND FOREMOST WE NEED TO REDEFINE THE GOAL TO NET NEGATIVE GW GAS EMISSION [View All]

[cloudythescribbler]

This point is very crucial, because even the most progressive politicians and groups are talking about cutting usage and emissions by 80% by 2030 or by 2050. But by those times we need to reach ZERO net global warming emissions AND BY THE LATER DATE TO HAVE A NEGATIVE ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION to global warming until the warming aspect of the atmosphere returns to the state it was when people started worrying about global warming -- ie the 1980s.

This should not be confused with returning to the EMISSIONS levels of the 1980s, but rather to the state of the ATMOSPHERE as of then.....
