Trevor Noah: World Will Be Gone in a Few Decades Due to Global Warming

‘If we take the amount of carbon the U.S., the E.U., and China have pledged to emit by 2030, that only leaves that much carbon for the rest of the world’

PBS [video]: "NASA released this animation showing a year's worth of global carbon emissions compressed into a few minutes and you can see the three main culprits right there it's U.S., Europe, and the new top emitter, China."
NOAH: "Oh, wow. The world, it remind me of, like, a lava lamp because in a few decades it will be gone. Now, the U.S. -- The U.S., Europe, and China have all pledged to cut their carbon emissions, but here's the problem-- if we want to keep the Earth from getting more than two degrees Celsius hotter, the world can only emit a certain amount of carbon, and if we take the amount of carbon the U.S., the E.U., and China have pledged to emit by 2030, that only leaves that much carbon for the rest of the world. There's nothing left. It's like shopping at the scarf store after Johnny Depp has been there. You work in L.A., Johnny Depp. Why are you so cold all the time."
