IPCC SR 1.5 - Table 2.2 & Acceleration & Extrapolation

Published BMJ article here

Rather than CO2 emissions contracting in an orderly manner from 1996,
CO2 emissions have expanded in an increasingly dangerous & chaotic manner.

Throughout this time, climate-deniers assured everyone there was no problem
while climate-scientists struggled inadequately to communicate the very real
dangers we face because there is a problem.

Greta Thunberg says simply (and with some justification), “we were lied to.”

In 2013 (before IPCC AR5) UKMO falsely insisted all feedbacks were in the models
.
In 2016 (after the Paris Agreement) this lie was finally admitted by DECC.

Summarizing a collective process of paradigm-failure over twenty five years,
in which both problem & solution denial have significantly featured . . .

  1. 1996 Climate Emergency declared as C&C introduced at COP-2
  2. 2000 C&C described as, “the logical approach" in IPCC 3rd Assessment Climate
  3. 2003 C&C described as, “inevitably required for compliance” by UNFCCC Executive
  4. 2008 the C&C principle embedded in the UK Climate Act (Jim Hansen says "2.0° C not safe.")
  5. 2010 EAC Enquiries into ‘climate model’s began asking, “where did they come from & were they reliable.”
  6. 2015 IPCC AR5 advocates 2.0° C but the Paris Agreement advocates 1.5° C.
  7. 2020 the UK hosts COP-26 . . .

    All this is argument in favour of an Alliance for UNFCCC-Compliance as soon as possible
    at stringent rates of Contraction & Convergence, as time for compliance is obviously running out.
