Thank you. It a good summary, but misses a key factor I recently learned about through medium author Alan Miller. When you burn fossil fuels, you also emit sulfites into the atmosphere that, like clouds, reflect some sunlight back and reduced warming. The sulfites fall out of at atmosphere more quickly than CO2. So, as we reduce our carbon emissions, there will be a short term spike in temperatures as we lose the temporary cooling effect!

There is hope however, it we radically reduce a small group of super climate pollutants that are many times more powerful and more short lived that CO2. Basically, methane, soot, and some refrigerants. Focus on these, and we can bring down warming in the short term, and at the same time cut the carbon for the long run. It’s got to be a sprint and a marathon effort.
