Zeke Hausfather Brings Real Climate’s CO2 Reduction Fantasies Back To Brutal Reality

It amazes me how activists and even highly educated scientists are still clinging to the hope that global society is able to meet the junk-theoretical 2°C greenhouse gas emissions target.
I had to laugh when Zeke Hausvater at Twitter brought down two Potsdam Germany activist scientists back from their world of radical CO2 reductions fantasy and over to brutal reality. Hausfather is right, we have to start getting real about things and how the world really works.
Time to wake up
Hausfather was reacting to a recent post by Stefan Rahmstorf and Anders Levermann over at Real Climate, where they seem to desperately hold on to the hope that the 2°C target can be reached. Unfortunately the only way that could happen is if governments declared a state of emergency, called out the army and ordered everyone at gunpoint to cut CO2 emissions to the absurd extent that would allow the theoretical 2°C target to be met.
Yes, they say there’s a chance – if we reach peak emissions by 2020 and then we all hop on our bicycles and eat a vegan diets thereafter.
Rahmstorf and Levermann write:
We will need an enormous amount of action and scaled up ambition to harness the current momentum in order to travel down the decarbonisation curve at the necessary pace; the window to do that is still open[x].”
Hasn’t anyone told Rahmstorf and Levermann that China and India aren’t going to change anything until 2030 at the absolute earliest (and that’s a big if)? Haven’t the two Potsdam scientists read the lax conditions in the Paris Accord?
Someone needs to sit the two scientists down and break the bad news to them. It’s already too late: the theoretical 2°C target is now pure fantasy. That point is long gone…assuming the CO2 theory is right to begin with.
“Strongly doubt any of the scenarios are remotely feasible”
I’m not the only one who is sure about that the alarmists made the tactical mistake of placing the 2°C target goal posts way too close, but so is warmist Hausfather.
Here’s his reaction to the two German alarmist authors over at Twitter:
Looking at the chart above, if humanity had started cutting back say 25 years ago, it might have had a chance reach that target. But as the chart shows today it is only possible with ultra-drastic, state-of-emergency emissions cuts. Forget it; It’s not gonna ever happen.
I couldn’t resist, and so I left my comment in response to Zeke:
