Why is the goal 2°C by 2100 copilot

Fossil fuel corporations pay much better than volunteers reading real scientific papers. Every Scientific Society, every National Academy of Science, and every major University has policy statements that AGW is real and clear and present danger.

They also own most of the so called "green energy" companies you're so proud of.

 

[westwall]

And I am sure the asshole makes a lot more money from the fossil fuel corporations in a year than I have made in a lifetime. If you truly have a degree in chemistry, then why do you deny Tyndall's evidence?

Who is denying Tyndall? The question is can the trace amount of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere affect temperature.

The answer is no.

LOL On an anonymous board, one can claim anything they please.

No you were exposed by long time scientist FlaCalTenn repeatedly, your well-known swiss cheese memory is at it again.

You are confused I was talking about temperature......

Yawn there is that stupid consensus fallacy which doesn't address anything here, it is what science illiterates does when they can't debate anything.

LOL you haven't debated at all this is why you haven't impressed anyone as you are full of fallacies, evasions and plan illiterate.

Of course, we also all have to ignore that the ice has been "melting" for almost 12,000 years.

That is why we have the Great Lakes, and people can actually live in Canada. Otherwise, quite literally all of Canada would be buried by a mile or more of ice.

There is a reason why this phase is called an "interglacial". It is the warm spell between glacial cycles where almost all of the ice melts. Think of it as an "Ice Age Interregnum". Because we are still very much in an ice age, and will continue to be in one likely for millions more years to come.

It is especially idiotic in that it directly contradicts the geological record.

Yes and they ignore the temperature data I posted THEY normally support now they get mad because it doesn't support their climate emergency delusions.

Why have you resorted to lying? Wind are solar are by far the least expensive forms of generation, even when you factor in storage. And in April of this year, wind and solar produced more power worldwide than did natural gas. And you don't have to get a percentage of wind or solar through Hormuz. LOL

Wind and Solar Surpass Natural Gas for the First Time in April 2026​

For the first time in recorded history, wind and solar generated more electricity than natural gas worldwide in April 2026, according to analysis from the independent energy think tank Ember Electrek+1.

Key Figures​

• Wind and solar share: 22% of global electricity generation
• Natural gas share: 20%
• Total renewable output: 531 terawatt-hours (TWh)
• Gas output: 477 TWh — a gap of 54 TWh (about two months of UK electricity consumption) Electrek+1

Growth and Trends​

• Combined wind and solar output more than doubled from 245 TWh in April 2021 to 531 TWh in April 2026, while gas generation remained nearly flat Electrek+1.
• Global wind and solar output rose ~13% year over yearin April 2026, with strong gains in:
  • China: +14%
  • EU: +13%
  • UK: +35%
  • US: +8%
  • Australia: +17%
  • Chile: +24% Electrek+1

Why It Happened​

• Long-term deployment: The shift was driven by years of rapid renewable expansion, not solely by the April 2026 energy crisis linked to Middle East tensions Electrek+1.
• Meeting demand growth: Renewables absorbed nearly all of the increase in global electricity demand in 2025, leaving fossil generation flat worldreporter.com.
• Economics and reliability: Advances in battery storage and solar-plus-storage projects have made renewables cost-competitive with new fossil plants, with some systems in China as low as $30/MWh www.edgen.tech.
• Energy security: Countries are turning to wind and solar as “cheap, homegrown, and secure” alternatives to imported gas, especially amid volatile LNG markets worldreporter.com+1.

Broader Implications​

• Structural change: The milestone shows renewables are no longer just supplementing fossil fuels but can now meet and exceed them in scale worldreporter.com.
• Policy acceleration: Governments are ramping up renewable targets — e.g., Indonesia’s 100 GW solar+storage plan, South Korea’s goal to triple renewables to 100 GW by 2030 Electrek+1.
• Grid challenges: While renewables are growing fast, IRENA warns that grid infrastructure investment is falling behind, risking bottlenecks GSEP - Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership.

In short, April 2026 marked a historic inflection point in the global energy mix, with wind and solar not just matching but surpassing natural gas for the first time, signaling a structural shift toward renewable dominance.

Wind are solar are by far the least expensive forms of generation, even when you factor in storage.

They aren't, especially when you factor in storage.
