what percentage of air is COâ‚‚?
While studying historical climate change, Eunice Newton Foote (apple fell closeby) theorised and demonstrated that COâ‚‚ gas both accumulates and retains more heat from sunlight than air in her 1856 experiment.
Today, at 1.5x the air concentration (0.029%) of her time, COâ‚‚ gas has become the lid on the pot to cook us all. Â
Our ambitious 2050 goal of ~376ppm (0.038% from today's 0.043%) in 24 years means all cards on the table.

how much sunlight is Earth reflecting?
The heat trapped by excess atmospheric carbon will absorb more light. More light? More heat. And the beat goes on.

We definitely don’t want to cook all the fish on Earth at once. Or do we?

If the mass of a planet moves around, its gravity will change too. If it’s not moving to my latest album, what’s it moving? Yep. All that melting ice from an overheating planet.
polar ice thickness

how much ice do we have left?
how much ice do we have left?
More heat means less ice. Less ice means more water. More water means more heat. What a time to be alive.
deforestation

do we have enough trees left to fight the heat?
do we have enough trees left to fight the heat?
Imagine a world without shade. As if that’s not enough, they convert the excess carbon in air into an energy source that feeds, fuels & protects the world: organic carbon.
UV radiation

how much surface protection does Earth have left?
how much surface protection does Earth have left?
Too much UV radiation will kill every living thing, slowly or quickly, depending on the amount we’re dealing with.

what are we dumping in the air?
what are we dumping in the air?
Air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and aerosols force climates to change, and make it harder for living things to breathe.
