Geographer Carol Harden, the editor of the journal, Physical Geography, was aware that Soon was a vociferous critic of the idea that humans were causing global warming and of proposals for the U.S. government to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

Instead, the reason for the likely continuation of the warming is that we can't get to zero emissions any time soon because of societal, economic or technological inertia.

«Projecting to the future, to stabilise the climate system at a warming level that is not dangerous does require large cuts in carbon dioxide emissions and soon.

Unfortunately, the bully isn't going away anytime soon since human emissions to date have locked in climate change - fueled warming for decades if not centuries to come.

So, even conservative estimates of committed warming indicate that we have to urgently reduce radiative forcing, in other words peak global GHG emissions as soon as possible and then reduce them as quickly as possible by reducing our use of fossil fuels drastically, if we want to have a chance at keeping warming under 2C.

David Sassoon, an environmental blogger, has posted a provocative open letter to Rupert Murdoch, the head of News Corporation and soon - to - be owner of The Wall Street Journal, asking him to «green» the paper's opinions on global warming just as he has pledged to zero out carbon dioxide emissions from his media empire.

What is clear is that uncontrolled emissions will very soon put us in range of temperatures that have been unseen since the Eemian / Stage 5e period (about 120,000 years ago) when temperatures may have been a degree or so warmer than now but where sea level was 4 to 6m higher (see this recent discussion the possible sensitivities of the ice sheets to warming and the large uncertainties involved).

The turning point must come soon: If global warming is to be limited to a maximum of 2 °C above preindustrial values, global emissions need to peak between 2015 and 2020 and then decline rapidly.

To understand emissions reductions necessary to have a good chance of limiting warming to 2 °C, the climate community has focused largely on emissions pathways — that is, when greenhouse gas emissions peak and the rate at which they must decline (e.g. peak sooner and then reduce less steeply versus peak later and then reduce more steeply).

If the Paris Agreement's goal of no more than 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) warming is to be reached, significant progress towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions must be made soon.

But a climate - change working group soon will begin laying out policy options that lawmakers could pursue on their own to reduce the state's contribution of climate - warming emissions.

This inconvenient (truth) fact totally refutes the hypothesis that the recent (in my IMO soon to be showed to be entirely an artefact of the adjustments anyway) warming trend at the end of the 20th century was probably not due to man's emissions of CO2 and other GHGs.

Already some of the global warming alarmists, anticipating this may soon happen, are re-inventing their alarmism into the scare about the oceans becoming acidified by our C02 emissions - even though the oceans already contains 90 times more C02 than the atmosphere (Chilingar, et.al.)

The alleged rationales for anti-coal and gas policies — to reduce global warming or protect local environments — are furphies: whether or not further warming will occur and be dangerous — and both propositions are questionable and are being ignored by major emissions producers China and India, and soon the USA — Australia's emissions reductions will have no measurable impact on world climate.

And we could very soon be on an irrevocable path to 2 degrees of warming, they continue, unless countries dramatically up their pledges to cut emissions under the Paris climate agreement — an agreement Trump has said he would «cancel.»

Her research found that global warming will affect 86 percent of the world's oceans by 2050 if greenhouse gas emissions aren't dramatically cut soon.

Scientists agree that cutting global greenhouse emissions as soon as possible will be key to tackling global warming.

«The remaining carbon budget for keeping warming to below 1.5 degrees Celsius or two degrees Celsius is very small, and staying within this budget requires declining global emissions rapidly and as soon as possible,» Rogelj says.

If the Paris Agreement's goal of no more than 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) warming is to be reached, significant progress towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions must be made soon,» the research group said in a press release.

Two weeks ago, The New York Times published an article detailing the results of an investigation into Wei - Hock «Willie» Soon, an aerospace engineer who's published several papers questioning the link between human emissions of greenhouse gases and global warming.

And if we want to reduce the amount of warming that we commit the future to, we need to reduce our carbon emissions sooner rather than later.

Soon, who says global warming is mostly caused by changes in the Sun, not emissions from burning oil, gas and coal, has written some peer - reviewed studies on global climate change.

All nations must cut emissions deeper, sooner, and faster to limit warming to 2 °C (3.6 °F).»

Since many think that human - produced carbon dioxide is warming the planet and contributing to sea level rise, they wanted to make it clear that if the world doesn't do something to curb emissions, their island nation could soon be underwater.

And it was in 1988 that James Hansen decided to present the case that this slow warming since the LIA was soon to become «unprecedented» due to CO2 emissions, thus causing untold climate chaos - i.e. boiling oceans, droughts, famines, Manhattan Island flooding along with other coastal regions, Earth turning into the next Venus, and etc..

There are climate doomsday proponents and alleged «experts» who fear that Earth is warming so fast that it will soon reach hothouse Venus - like temperatures, primarily due to humans continuing global emissions of CO2, a trace greenhouse gas.

Instead, the reason for the likely continuation of the warming is that we can't get to zero emissions any time soon because of societal, economic or technological inertia.

Ensuring that global CO2 emissions peak as soon as possible is crucial for limiting sea - level rises, even if global warming is limited to well below 2 °C.

This is set to rise steadily higher — yet it is being imposed for only one reason: the widespread conviction, which is shared by politicians of all stripes and drilled into children at primary schools, that, without drastic action to reduce carbon - dioxide emissions, global warming is certain soon to accelerate, with truly catastrophic consequences by the end of the century — when temperatures could be up to five degrees higher.

If global warming is real and its effects will one day be as devastating as some believe is likely, then greater economic growth would, by increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, sooner or later lead to greater damages from climate change.
