THREAD (of my presentation at #UFGC19)
Where have we been the last 150 years?
Putting CO₂ into the atmosphere, first from land-use change, then coal, oil, & then gas. This has increased CO₂ in the atmosphere, led to a ~1°C temperature increase, & various climate impacts.

It is unlikely that the ~1°C warming can be reversed, & the Paris Agreement is about limiting future warming & impacts.
A strong interpretation of Paris, below 1.5°C, requires cutting CO₂ in half by 2030, hitting zero ~2050, & negative thereafter. Exceedingly ambitious.

Bonus slide:
CO₂ removal has to start today, to reach the scales necessary to stay below 1.5°C. There are legitimate concerns about large-scale CO₂ removal, & less CO₂ removal requires more rapid short-term reductions & less non-CO₂ emissions.
