Committed Omissions
Comitted omission is a relatively new concept in the academic world of climate debate. It's the omissions that a machine will amit over the course of its lifetime. If you bought a new gasolene power car last year it'll probably live for about 22 years, and it will be omitting c o two omissions the whole time. A coal plant built in china in 20 20 sadly, will omit omissions until 20 70 if it's allowed to live out its natural life. We've intoned to deal with this uncomfortable situation of our committed omissions is probably larger than is physically possible. So i'm an advocate for being a little more honest with ourselves.
