That this means that there is a large amount of additional warming locked into the system and that the effects we are observing now are only the barest precursors of impacts that have been locked in by previous emissions releases.<br /><br />Finally, I would synthesize this with the U.S. Pentagon assessment of Climate Change as a direct national security threat and add reasonable justification to treat a rapid decarbonization of the U.S. (and through leadership - global) economy to net-zero emissions, making our world safe for future generations, under the context of a wartime mobilization with massive market intervention, full employment and resource mobilization. If assessed and treated as a real national security threat the U.S. could conceivable move to 95% fossil fuel free within 10 years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367966962520006086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-30158813924210083262017-09-08T07:20:15.461-07:002017-09-08T07:20:15.461-07:00Suggestions for improving this are welcome.Suggestions for improving this are welcome.Michael Tobishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229460438349093944noreply@blogger.com
