For example, two of McKinsey's three recently-developed decarbonis ation pathways to hold global temperature rise below 1.5C require deforestation to decline by 91 per cent by 2030 from 2016 levels; the third requires deforestation to decline by 77 per cent. This is now settled science.

None of them were ever to be seen or heard from again until the wreck was found at the bottom of an Arctic bay in 2016, aptly named Terror Bay. In fact, physics tells us that for every 1 degree Celsius of warming, our atmosphere can hold about seven percent more moisture. This leads to even more another feedback loop!

Indeed, the prospect of rising demand in Asia and Africa partly explains why the UAE’s Adnoc aims to increase production capacity to five million b/d by 2030. In order to keep global warming “well below” a 2 degrees Celsius increase, the IEA says the world would need to stomach a fall in oil consumption to 67 million b/d by 2040.
