Well, you are wildly optimistic. The problem I have with this is that it's still so "Old Paradigm". You really don't seem to know what's going on with the Climate System and what the New Paradigm looks like.

Things are much worse than you think.

We are about to have a massive Climate Shock on par with 1880 and the 1930's. I am forecasting 800 million to 1.5 billion deaths over the next five years.

Putin and Xi have understood that it was coming since 2015 because they followed the developing science and understood its implications.

Specifically the diminishing albedo and the doubling of the rate of warming from 0.18C per decade to 0.36C per decade.

That's why, after their meeting in Siberia in 2021 to sign a "moonbase" treaty, Xi went on a spending spree and now is sitting on enough grain to feed China for 18 months. 50% of global grain reserves in fact.

Putin went and got ready to invade Ukraine. An invasion he delayed until after the Winter Olympics, at Xi's request.

We are already at war globally and the US is losing badly at this point. Look at the diplomacy going on to understand how US "client states" are being flipped.

The key fact is that we got the Climate Science wrong. We relied way to heavily on Climate Science that the Fossil Fuel Industry pushed into Academia. They backed the Climate Moderate Faction, which envisioned a gradually warming planet.

The "ground truth" is saying they were wrong. Warming is both more rapid than they forecast and much worse.

Let me end by asking you a question.

If I told you that for the last 2.1 million years CO2 levels never went above 280ppm and never below 180ppm. That this 100ppm fluctuation caused the Earth to warm and cool over a 6C range. Resulting in NYC being under 1 mile of glacial ice (180ppm) or the NYC of 1850 (280ppm).

So that 100ppm caused 6C of warming.

Now, how much warming do you think 140ppm is going to bring?

Do you really think the 1.2C we are "observing" is all the warming?

Who told you that, and what were they selling you.

Here's a clue. The paleoclimate record says we are at 4C of warming right now. If we get to 560ppm it will be 6C.

The only real question is how fast we get there. At 0.36C per decade, it won't take long.

You need better information.
