Breaking Down the Last Decade of Climate Change in 7 Charts

• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Anthony Watts

They write:

As this hottest-on-record, godforsaken decade draws to a close, it's clear that global warming is no longer a problem for future generations but one that's already displacing communities, costing billions, and driving mass extinctions. And it's worth asking: Where did the past 10 years get us?

The seven charts below begin to hint at an answer to that question. Some of the changes they document, like the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the number of billion dollar disasters that occur each year, illustrate how little we did to reduce emissions and how unprepared the world is to deal with the warming we've already locked in.

We can also provide 7 charts that illustrate the last decade of climate change, and they tell a different story.

What they say: 1. Atmospheric carbon dioxide rose by about 25 parts per million.

There's no disputing that ambient CO2 has gone up in the atmosphere, however, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. NASA, for example has this to say about the effects of that increased CO2 in study about CO2 and greening derived from satellite data.
