A graph of what needs to be done to save the planet. It’s so unachievable it borders on laughable but it is a deadly serious tragedy that even a read of this comment is going to have to confront very soon:
“Do you think we can bring down our https://bit.ly/3VyPccf annual GHG emission to zero in next 27 years by 2050? Do you think mankind even knows that GHG emissions are getting deadlier by every passing day? What can we do to make everyone realize the gravity of the situation?”
