That changed in 2013, when Richard Heede, cofounder of the Climate Accountability Institute, first launched the Carbon Majors database, a project that had required years of number crunching. Years of Number Crunching Findings like these weren’t always so readily available.

The report today - the IPCC's first of its kind since 2013 - may not make for joyful reading on the state of the only habitable home humans have, but coming just weeks before the crucial COP26 Climate Summit its core conclusions could not be more essential to every business on the planet. And today the IPCC concluded the 1.5C

It can reverse ocean acidification by absorbing carbon dioxide. We’d have to grow quite a bit of seaweed to rely on it for sequestration: One study suggests we could remove the equivalent of 42 percent of all current global CO2 emissions by covering 4 percent of the world’s oceans in seaweed farms — but that’s a lot of ocean.

The latest protein supply figures from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for 2013 recorded average protein consumption of 69.1g A systematic review based on multiple studies concluded that emissions “differ considerably per diet, with a vegan diet having the lowest CO2eq production per 2000 kcal consumed.”

Previous studies have quantified the share of increasing average temperatures, rising sea levels , and ocean acidification attributable to major industrial emitters. The Alder fire in the Druid Complex in Yellowstone National Park, August 19, 2013. This latest study extends that analysis to the realm of wildfires.

Solar geoengineering, for example, does nothing to ameliorate ocean acidification, which occurs when the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The potential effects of solar radiation management are so large and wide-ranging as to implicate almost every aspect of life on the planet.
