Here's something that's incredibly disturbing, truly mind-boggling. It's 2025 and still not a single climate scientist understands climate change well enough to tell the public the obvious truth.

Emissions cuts accelerate global warming and intensify extreme weather due to loss of air pollution aerosols. Toxic air pollution, which suppresses global warming by making clouds more reflective, has been shielding humanity and all life from at least 2.4°C of global warming as at 2010 peak aerosols (Hansen). 

The GHGs already in the atmosphere warm the planet by 10°C as a requirement of physics. ~100ppm CO2-equivalent caused around 7°C of global warming during the Last Deglaciation.

There's no way to get GHGs out of the atmosphere. 1,100 billion tonnes of human CO2 plus vast amounts of other GHGs cause 10°C of warming.

One billion tonnes = 3,000 Empire State Buildings.

The planet now at ~1.3°C (multiyear average) of its 10°C equilibrium will push hard towards ever-hotter climates. Vast future global warming ensures that GHG concentrations will continue to rise for centuries due to feedbacks, ice melt, ocean warming and decline of land and ocean CO2 sinks.
