A Plan to Keep Carbon in Check
- The boundary separating the truly dangerous consequences of emissions from the merely unwise is probably located near (but below) a doubling of the concentration of CO2 that was in the atmo- sphere in the 18th century, before the Industrial Revolution began.
- In one future, the emissions rate continues to grow at the pace of the past 30 years for the next 50 years, reaching 14 billion tons of carbon a year in 2056.
- Dramatic changes are plausible over the next 50 years because so much of the energy canvas is still blank.
- Ending the era of conventional coal fired power plants is at the very top of the decarbonization agenda.
- If business-as-usual trends did lead to the widespread adoption of synfuel, then capturing CO2 at synfuels plants might well produce a wedge.
The author's purpose is to inform us of the carbon problem that we are currently experiencing with carbon. Sudden changes are likely to occur over the next 50 years because a large amount of the energy canvas is still blank. That is why a solution to this problem is critical. We are being told that we need to come up with a plan or else things with continue to escalate dangerously. Carbon is a problem that needs to be continuously checked and dealt with.
There needs to be something done to prevent the continuous spreading of carbon around the world. Carbon should continue stay in check or things could get out of control. Earth is too good to us for us to not go out of our way to protect it's valuable resources. We all need to come together. Education is the key to make the changes we want to see in Earth. There is only one Earth and we need to take car of it.
