The article’s view of the carbon budget, and future warming, is based on neglecting non-GHG feedbacks and effects. Most notable are albedo (reflectivity) changes from less sulfur, sea ice, snow, clouds, and land ice. Also notable are (1) feedbacks from warming from those abedo changes increasing atmospheric levels of H2O, the #1 greenhouse gas, and (2) delayed surface warming as the deep ocean warms over centuries, until equilibrium is re-establlished with the surface and top of the atmosphere. The pre-civilization climate record is clear that these “long-term” effects are large, larger than (about 2 x) the short-term effects of human greenhouse gases alone.Climate Change Devastation in the Ruins of Aleppo - High CO2 Concrete 0117.rtfU.S. on Track to Become Net Energy Exporter by 2026 - 0117.rtfExxon Predicts Energy Demand Up 25% by 2040 - 0117.rtfCarpooling Apps Could Slash Congestion, Fuel Use, and Emissions 0117.rtfSide Effect of California's Drought - More CO2, Less Hydro.rtf
