Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are presently increasing every year at an accelerating rate, and it is extremely unlikely that humanity will collectively do what is necessary to not only stop that growth in CO2 emissions, but reverse it, and then reduce emissions by 80 percent or more within 5 to 10 years, which is what mainstream climate scientists say is needed to avoid the worst outcomes of anthropogenic global warming.

If Dr. Hansen never imagined Scenario A as being a real possibility for the next 20 years, I guess indicated by his description «Scenario A, since it is exponential, must eventually be on the high side of reality in view of finite resource constraints and environmental concerns, even though the growth of emissions in Scenario A (~ 1.5 % yr - 1) is less than the rate typical of the past century (~ 4 % yr - 1)» then his subsequent comment (PNAS, 2001) «Second, the IPCC includes CO2 growth rates that we contend are unrealistically large» seems to indicate that Dr. Hansen doesn't support some of the more extreme SRES scenarios.

Lowering the emissions will slow down the CO2 growth rate, but not stop it.

Most agree that we will see a growth from today's 7 billion to 10 to 10.5 billion by 2100, which would represent a growth rate of one - fourth that seen in the second half of the 20th century (when the CO2 emissions grew exponentially).

The annualised average growth rate in global CO2 emissions over the last three years of the credit crunch, including a 1 % increase in 2008 when the first impacts became visible, is 1.7 %, almost equal to the long - term annual average of 1.9 % for the preceding two decades back to 1990.

Flatly assuming that human CO2 emissions are going to continue at the same exponential rate when human population growth is expected to decline sharply to one - fourth the past rate is stupid.

It ignores two real physical constraints on human CO2 emissions (plus resulting warming) in the future: — changes in human population growth rates — total carbon contained in remaining fossil fuel reserves

While the above analysis yields good results for by tying past climate change to increases in human CO2 emissions, it should be cautioned that the suggested exponential time relation is not suitable for projecting the future over longer time periods, because of possible changes in human population growth rates and absolute limitations on carbon available in remaining fossil fuels.

I'm sure you will agree that future human CO2 emissions will in some way be linked to future human population growth rates, i.e. if population grows rapidly humans will emit more CO2 in the future than if population grows slowly..

You have yet to respond specifically to my critique that you left out a key parameter when it comes to projecting future human emissions of CO2, namely the rate of growth of human population (who are emitting this CO2).

Energy - related CO2 emissions from OECD countries are projected to be flat from 2015 to 2040 in the IEO2017 Reference case, slightly lower than the annual rate of growth from 1990 to 2015 when OECD CO2 emissions increased 0.3 % per year.

Sorry, but your calculations for CO2 growth are nonsense — you are comparing the rate of growth in population to the growth in the absolute amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, but you should instead be comparing it with the rate of growth of our annual emissions.
