    Spoiler Alert: We are absolutely not going to meaningfully address climate change before it’s too late. Not going to happen.

      We already lowered the rate of emissions growth, taking us from 4°C by 2100 to ~3°C by then. Getting more is on us; you can’t sit around hoping somebody else acts

          2°C is likely to be ecologically and economically quite damaging, and also at the edge of where we can be reasonably assured that agriculture remains viable. Its not an everybody-dies-instantly threshold

          Tell that to Israel, who is opening up a new hole with all their missile launches

    Gotta love the meaningless symbology of the UN. Sometimes I think it exists just to keep good politicians occupied while the shitty ones really lead.
