To understand climate change, understand these three numbers.

2, 795 GT available and still they are exploring for more!

As a first iteration consideration of the meaning of only being able to use 565 GT out of the 2795 GT available, one can surely say that the companies possessing those reserves are now overvalued by 400% (in other words, they are worth 20% of their current market caps). Subsequent iterations that take into account interdependent systems that rely on fossil fuels and the possibility of "weakest links in the chain" failing, thus rendering certain processes unavailable, say 20% is optimistic.

Anyone got something like this but more up to date?

Tick-Tock...It is interesting that there's something that many agreed on though.

“I think we understand the mechanisms of CO2 and climate better than we do of what  causes lung cancer. In fact, it is fair to say that global warming may be the most carefully and fully studied scientific topic in human history.”

– Ralph Cicerone, President of the National Academy of Sciences

we can carp all we want about data details. we will keep burning carbon till we can get all needed energy without it.

How about asking all of us to sell all our dirty fossil fuels stocks now and invest in zero emissions clean green stocks ASAP. That’s what we do in a capitalist system. I have sold everything that is dirty fossil fuels types and have invested in clean green zero emissions energy stocks. There are no other way. Best wishes. Thanks.

Does 3000 gigatons of oil translate into 3000 gigatons of co2?
