#2I initially thought this was a NYTimes self promotion piece. As in "Think NYTimes is hot right now? Just Wait".

#4These maps are based on emission trends continuing, assuming no political action will be taken. But wouldn't a hotter world tend to exacerbate emission trends, with human needs for AC and desalination rising, plus forest fires? Moreover, there might be some tipping point for large scale methane release. The 'tail risk' to global warming has appreciable density a long way out.

#7FUD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt
Ignorance of the (irreversible) consequences is sufficient reason to avoid messing with the composition of the atmosphere, no?

#8So 14 of the 15 hottest years ever have taken place since 2000. I'm wondering, if this is the result of global heating due to emissions, why do we see so many new record highs only now?
The industrial revolution has been going on already for over 150 years. Why were there so few records broken in, say, 1980 - 1996, and so many in 2000 - 2016?

#9This graphic could've used a Brett victor style tangle.js based simulation model. Then we could play around with it assuming future emission rates going down or up etc.. http://worrydream.com/Tangle/
