If CO2 emissions go to zero in 2050 (top), the sinks (green) will bring atmospheric CO2 back down (middle), & temperature will stabalise at ~1.7°C (bottom).
Going to zero today will keep us <1.5°C
Constant emissions leads to 2.6°C, rising rapidly thereafter.

Also, if there was clear incriminating evidence of Clinton wrongdoing in the Epstein files, you know Bondi would’ve already released it.

It’s time for Donald Trump to 👏 release 👏 the 👏 files. 👏
This isn’t a request. This is a Congressional subpoena.
That’s why next week’s vote will pose a serious choice: will the GOP continue to cover for the White House, or will they do the right thing? The survivors deserve justice.
