A Breath of Polluted Air (12/15/23)

The narrative about reducing global temperatures sits at 1.5 degrees celsius as the COP28 meeting concludes with confusing results and reports - there apparently was both an agreement to eliminate fossil fuels while at the same time others think that was a lie or doesn’t go far enough! A recent study published in PLOS ONE, however, effectively summarized the “enough” part as it states with dark implications that human breath is the real source of GHG emissions, even though 0.1% of GHG is from breath in the UK. In other words, it is no longer hidden that breath, babies, families, food, electricity, etc., are considered the real threats to planet earth - i.e., humans are the carbon to be reduced. This thinking is what lead to 40 million dying of starvation in Mao’s China, to name one of many historical sabotages of civilization which was suicidal, self-destructive, arrogant, and delusional. Besides, the 1.5 number came from activists in 2015, was picked up by the Paris Climate Agreement, then analyzed by the UN with a 2018 report that… sure, its possible but it wold “require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society.” We all know what happened in 2020 and how that has continued to be used as a justification for reaching zero emissions through locking or shutting down civilization.
