We find that emissions traced to the products produced by the Carbon Majors have contributed
🌡️ 37%–58% of present-day globally averaged air temperature rise and
🌊 ~24-37% of present sea-level rise (SLR).
Their past emissions through 2020 alone are projected to add 0.26-0.55m of SLR by 2300… 2/n

⌛ We assessed the potential impacts of phasing out fossil fuels at points in history using 3 counterfactual scenarios with Carbon Majors emissions stopping in 1854, 1950 (when some companies were aware of the harms of their products), or 1990 (the start of international climate action efforts)…3/n

🌡️🌊If the Carbon Majors stopped fossil fuel production in 1854 or 1950 we find present day surface air temperature rise would have been ~0.39-0.66°C above preindustrial and CO2 concentrations below 350 ppm. The difference in projected long term sea level rise is 0.26-0.55 m ...4/n

🌡️🌊If the Carbon Majors stopped FF production in 1990 we find present day surface air temperature rise would have been 0.65-0.9°C above preindustrial and CO2 concentrations would be below 370 ppm. The difference in projected long term sea level rise is 0.16-0.35 m …5/n

Our research shows that products produced by a relatively small number of industrial fossil fuel producers have played a large role in altering global climate. It also shows that emissions from just a few decades are projected to have impacts to global average sea levels for centuries to come... 6/n

Thermal expansion and ice sheet mass loss are the two primary drivers of sea level rise. Delays in greenhouse gas emissions mitigation will come with long-term consequences due to the long response time of the oceans and crysophere. https://blog.ucs.org/shaina-sadai/the-sea-level-rise-legacy-of-past-and-future-heat-trapping-emissions/ 7/n

Is there any possibility there will be an increase in reflective cloud formations to bring our heat balance to equillibrium?
And would one expect more cloud formation with increasing temperatures on earth?
