@dirtmayor
54 GtCO2e/year or roughly 40GtCO2/year from consuming ~ 13GtC/year. Until the ~ 1TtC of accessible carbon is all gone. Leading to > 5C rise with temperatures and CO2 concentration not falling back to pre-industrial for ~200k years.

C Consumption, CO2e & CO2 production, CO2 atmospheric concentration all accelerating, not slowing or peaking.
