Carbon Emissions: Death Spiral and Pre-Industrial Levels

carbon emissions: In the last week, the UN Environment assembly announced its finding that, even if the Paris Agreement targets were met, global temperatures would rise by three to five degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, according to The Independent. Worse, even if all carbon emissions stopped immediately, the Arctic would be 5 degrees warmer at the end of the century than in the period between 1986 and 2005. It is the most plausible scenario. The Arctic, that Ice Temple of the polar regions as the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen dubbed it, is particularly sensitive to global heating. This ice will soon disappear, beginning with an ice-free September any year now. As the Cambridge polar researcher Peter Wadhams has shown, the Arctic death spiral is well underway.
