Moreover, the amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere means that Earth is committed to a certain degree of warming. As the Earth&#8217;s climate changes due to the burning of fossil fuels and changes in land-use, the planet we live on will experience further changes that will have increasingly drastic effects on human societies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The fossil fuel industry needs to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GSL : whilst atmospheric CO2concentrations have varied dramatically during the geological past due to natural processes, and have often [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[424,466,425,427],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-climate","category-energy","category-env","category-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6470"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6472,"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6470\/revisions\/6472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/neoporcupine.net\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
