We’re on the vertical part of the graph now. CO2 concentrations for the last 800k years. We’re fully 25% over the maximum free CO2 over that period. Investments in extraction are still accelerating. Atmospheric methane, while shorter lived, is at the highest we’ve ever seen.
Climate averages are based on 30 year moving averages, generally. But there’s every reason to believe we’re into the hockey stick now. You can’t simply put away atmospheric carbon that took geologic processes millions of years to sequester and we’re not even slowing down. Even while regenerable sources take up a larger proportion of power generation, we’re not drawing down the bad sources. We’re just increasing our capacity for power consumption.
