Both Mauna Loa and Cape Grim data show that gigatonnes of CO2 is still being dumped into the atmosphere with no sign of abatement.
The reason for a lack of meaningful policy and any emissions abatement is indeed money...which, due the trillions of dollars involved....buys policy.
I expect people eventually won't give a $..t about money when just having breathable air, food and drinkable water becomes your primary goal in life as you battle through 60 degree summers. (Not fanciful ...we saw 51.5C at Badgerys Creek in 2020). OK, then it rained. And rained, and rained some more.
Given the predictions of extremes in fire, floods and extreme weather events were made decades ago, and are now coming to fruition, you have to ask at what point do you take on climate reality.
Thinking of troublesome ice... I like this line from The Titanic.
Ismay: But this ship can't sink!
Thomas Andrews: She is made of iron, sir. I assure you, she can. And she *will*. It is a mathematical certainty!
