The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible.

Moreover, despite a steady growth in total factor productivity (TFP, “a ratio of agricultural outputs produced to inputs used“) since 1948 as a result of technological change, climate change has already dampened TFP, and it is expected to decline to pre-1980 levels by 2050 unless adaptation measures adequately respond.

Being the predicted outcome of burning fossil fuels, our best and only plan to limit warming is to reduce CO 2 emissions from human activities to ‘net zero’ – where the amount of CO 2 we emit into the atmosphere is equal to the amount we remove from it. It reminds us that the obstacles to climate action are neither physical nor technological.
