Cartoon showing a bicycle on the edge of a cliff. A giant iron ball filled with factories, smoke stacks and pipelines is attached to the bicycle by a large chain and hangs over the cliff. The person on the bike is desperately pedaling to avoid being dragged over the cliff. A sing pointing away from the cliff reads 'climate goals'

I, too, remember this. All the way back in the 1890s someone had calculated CO2 emissions and global warming. Also, the oil industry did in the 1950s, but kept the data for themselves. In both cases, they were right about the CO2 count at the end of the century, about 20 years ago. We've blown right past that number since.
