STUDY: TEMPERATURES GO OFF THE CHARTS AROUND 2047
WASHINGTON (AP) Starting in about a decade, Kingston, Jamaica, will probably be off-the-charts hot permanently. Other places will soon follow. Singapore in 2028. Mexico City in 2031. Cairo in 2036. Phoenix and Honolulu in 2043.
And eventually the whole world in 2047.

CO2 is a well-mixed GHG. That means that local production is a global issue.
