All ‘Solutions’ Are Futile: US & UK Science Academies: Cutting all CO2 emissions would not stop global warming: ‘Essentially irreversible on human timescales’
'The U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the UK’s Royal Society: 'The current CO2-induced warming of Earth is therefore essentially irreversible on human timescales.' - 'Even if emissions of greenhouse gases were to suddenly stop, Earth’s surface temperature would not cool and return to the level in the pre-industrial era for thousands of years,' according to the joint publication. Global surface temperatures would stay elevated for a thousand years and sea levels would continue to rise for centuries — even after temperatures stopped rising.''
