Climate Change

Most of these emissions were from fossil fuels and industry.

This statement is extremely misleading, but also not surprising.

The animal exploitation industry is the leading cause of climate change.

A Critical Look at UN IPCC's Emissions Accounting

From the above:

Mainstream climate spokespeople are now promoting this “green growth” story and recommending the rapid phaseout of fossil fuels. This is dangerous because the world can expect a 50% increase in global warming ERF in the short term if such rapid phaseout recommendations are actually implemented without addressing the Cow in the Room as most government policies are currently configured. This is suicidal.

If and when Hansen et al.’s calculation that the cooling impact of SO2 has been underestimated by 1 W/m2 in IPCC AR6 is validated, then the cooling gases co-emitted with fossil fuel combustion would result in 2.3 W/m2 of cooling ERF from fossil fuel sources alone. Then, phasing down fossil fuel use rapidly would cause anthropogenic global warming ERF to rapidly increase from 2.6 W/m2 to 4.9 W/m2, an 87% increase in a matter of a few weeks.
