Just to say, if you are 30, more than half of all human fossil fuel emissions have occurred in your lifetime #dataviz

Frightening. >10% of all emissions in the past 5 years is the most depressing part, to me. While there has been so much talk of reduction, damage, etc, clearly nothing is getting through to the people making the decisions.

This is an amazing post, would you consider re-posting with alt text?

I first started worrying about climate change in 1984 when my grandfather told me about it (after reading some science magazines). I though the adults will take care of the issue since accumulation of CO₂ to the atmosphere was so clearly due to humans. Then I grew up and realized I had been naive.

Well, that's depressing

Exponential growth is completely non intuitive

Damned milllennials.

Whoa, 10% in 5 years? That's crazy. I was aware that ghg emissions are still increasing globally, but this is really fast.

I'll say it again: humans think they're the smartest creatures on earth, but in reality they're the planet's worst nuisance to all living things.
