“His warning was seen as a historic wake-up call – but instead of heeding the existential smoke alarm, the US removed the batteries and kept on cooking.”

Sorry, I can't hear the word "greenhouse gas" any more. It is a too simple and very useless explanation for the human impact on nature. Not CO2 or CH4 are the true reason for human impacts on climate but the cutting of (wild) forests and the industrial agriculture. They reduce and stop finally the cloud formation so, intensive sunlight heats the soil and with every °K more the 10⁴ higher amount of IR is emittetd from the soil. (Stephan Boltzmann law). This is a long neglected fact.

This does not mean that we could emit CO2 as we do now, because, it is an amplifying factor but not the real origin for earth warming. Prof Baumgartner, the founder of modern climatology worked on this realtionship of forests, cloud forming and primary radiation already in the 1970s. Latest resarch results and the positive impact of the "'African Green Belt" support his former insights of the role of forests and water in the atmosphere. We have quickly to do much more than only reduce CO2
