Climate articles and publications continue to erroneously
suggest a one and a half (1.5°C) to two
degrees (2°C) Celsius as an achievable global limit to
climate change [1]. A comprehensive review
has found that observationally informed projections of
climate science underlying climate change offer
a different outlook of five to six-degree (5-6°C) increase
as “most accurate” with regard to present
trends, climate history and models, yielding the most
likely outcome for 2100 [2]. A significant
causative triad from 1950 to the present has been
identified: The tripling (3x) of world population; the
quadrupling (4x) of carbon emissions; and the
quintupling (5x) of energy consumption. This paper
presents a quantitative, linear global temperature link
to carbon dioxide levels, which has a short
temporal feedback loop. The Vostok ice core temperature
and CO2 values for the past 420,000 years,
with sea level estimates have produced “Hansen’s Graph”
[3]. Analysis results in an equation for
global average temperature change and an indebted sea
level rise, from any CO2 change. The
bestperforming climate change models and observational analysis project more
warming than the averagemodel often relied upon [4]. World atmosphere,
temperature, and sea level trends for 2100 andbeyond are examined. A CO2 experimental
analysis proves its dramatic heat-entrapment versus air which relates to the global atmospheric
system. Policy-relevant climate adaptation, including carbon capture, positive individual action, zero and negative
emissions are reviewed, including Hansen (1988)
projections.
