Oh how right/wrong they were… 😮
At that level of co2 production, they were probably right about the timetable. What they couldn’t predict is that co2 production would rise so dramatically with automobiles and industry in the decades after that. They were at 7 billion tons a year then. We are over 36 billion tons a year now, over 5 times as much. That has clearly expedited the effects on the climate.
That’s so cool to know! Oh wait I mean hot, and also not, well anyway thanks for sharing:-P.
Yeah but why did they need to get political about it?/s

That was peobably fairly accurate at that time.
Look at the historical data here:

BTW, the large recent drop in co2 emissions, covid.
just could not imagine the scale at which human civilization would escalate. Apart from that, spot on.
WARKWORTH was Wokewarth, am I right?
