That’s about 95 percent of the amount needed to be removed annually to ensure global warming remains below 1.5 According to the study, keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels not only requires reducing fossil fuel emissions but removing around 500 gigatons of atmospheric CO₂ by 2100.

Figures show that the current average will increase from 15% of the global energy mix to 28% by 2050. This increase will push out alternative, fossil-fuel-powered energy sources, supporting a much-needed energy evolution as fossil-fuel reserves begin to deplete.

Many local people are furious at the damage done to their forests by logging corporations ripping out whole trees with Star-Wars machinery that first churns up and then compacts the soil. In any case, why send wood pellets to Europe to substitute for coal, when North Americans burn more fossil fuels than Europeans do?

So yeah, there's a little cheat that we did: we took away the hyper-object of global warming, which is so vast and timeless and slow-moving, and we put in a very concrete event, a comet. This risk increases steeply with rises in global temperature. It is entirely possible the worst case warming scenarios can be averted.
