About one-third of all carbon released since industrialization has been emitted in just the last 15 years—a real acceleration of climate disruption that scientists predicted was coming, just faster than their 2000s-era models expected. The post argues that early climate projections assumed humans would respond to warnings and reduce emissions, but we haven't, which is why atmospheric CO2 is rising faster than anticipated. What's missing: the post doesn't mention that current climate action (renewables deployment, grid modernization) is also accelerating, though still not fast enough to match emissions reductions needed—so the picture is both worse and less hopeless than the framing suggests.
