Assume today all fossil-fuel use ended. The following heat and emission generators still exist.
Direct
30 18 years.
Renewables do abolutely nothing to slow growth. Even without fossil-fuel we will cook the bioshere. Only degrowth reduces both heat and emissions.
Direct
- human activity - moving, building, fixing, fighting, maintaining body temperature
- drying peat
- melting permafrost
- melting clathrates (ocean methane)
- soil emissions from agriculture
- forest destruction reducing co2 capture
- wildfires
- reduced ice melt latency
- reduced ice solar reflection
- tectonic activity from ice melt
- tectonic activity from geothermal energy use
- etc
