One of the things about Global Warming that non-scientists seem not to understand is the scale of it.
The fossil carbon that we are now releasing to the atmosphere was sequestered by natural means over millions of years. Modern humans have released most of it over less than a century.
One third of all the fossil carbon we have released to the atmosphere has happened within this century. Just let that sink in, we are now in 2024, this century is only 24 years old
