Most shocking is the number of carbon emissions recorded in A.D. 2019, compared to the last ice ages that had less carbon in the atmosphere. The culprit is industrialization and burning of fossil fuels to create energy for everything. Even electric cars have a carbon footprint that is still significant when it should be zero. For now, zero energy and no carbon footprint is a long way off for industries depending on coal and oil.

A horrendous offshoot of human-generated greenhouse gases has tipped the balance, with the arctic permafrost melting.
