In France, I understood the fight against climate change is probably already over when we had 40°C at midnight one day of the previous summer.
It’s an eary feeling to feel ultra hot air in the middle of the night coming from an opened window.
Not saying I’m not trying to act against climate change on my level but I know we already lost.
Well it could be 45 at night. And it will be if wr dont tackle climate change quickly
Are we tackling anything in the last decade ?
Do people look at the ever increasing graph of CO2 emissions worldwide ?
It increased last year. It will increase this year.
Let’s do our best to delay it but it’s happening people.
Our politics are all cowards no matter the country.
Are we tackling anything in the last decade ?
If you e.g. look at power generation, then yes, that is being tackled. Incrementally and against a lot of resistance, from conservatives, fossil industries, nimbys, etc. Build-out rates for solar and wind worldwide are getting better. The last decade was not completely lost, it helped make these technologies cheaper and more scalable.
Do people look at the ever increasing graph of CO2 emissions worldwide ?
It is true, they do. And at face value, those rising emissions wouldn’t be necessary, if climate change was given appropriate priority.
But we also have realistic projections that emissions will start falling before 2030.
Let’s do our best to delay it but it’s happening people.
Climate change is not binary. Rather there’s a spectrum of outcomes. Of course climate change is happening and of course, the 1.5°C goal is unrealistic now (because we’re basically there already we just can’t say for sure yet). But it does matter that we do not make climate change even worse than it needs to be.
