From this week's published update to the 2019 IPPC Special Report on Ocean and Cryosphere.
Each chapter begins with an impacts comparison of 4 scenarios. This is #Permafrost.
Generation Greta will have to constantly remove lotsa CO2 just to keep temperature stable... in a low fossil emission scenario, removal at a rate of today's emission from India... just to counter the permafrost thaw. In the scenario of today's policies, the annual removal at a rate of America's emissions is required.

I know, no one wants to really know this and see their dreams shattered of green growth. Especially not the econ and polit journalists. That's why they don't write sbout this now inevitable necessity... 2Gt CO2 removal each year, just to keep temperature stable despite permafrost thaw. Then add the removal for enissions from agriculture or cement... and current installations barely accomplish single digit Mt per year. Good luck with that, Greta, and 10 more generations. This kind of cooperation over centuries seems unthinkable as of now, when the political actors are simulating their acts in role plays.

I think I won the game. Sadly I didn't get to see my space colony come to fruition, and neither did fusion research go anywhere. But it's interesting to see #BECSS being put in a positive light.
