Top climate scientist declares 2C climate goal 'dead'
www.rfi.fr
Holding long-term global warming to two degrees Celsius -- the fallback target of the Paris climate accord -- is now "impossible," according to a stark new analysis published by leading scientists.

Welp, it’s official. Been a good(?) run everyone. Here is the paper that is referred to.

Edit: So, reading the actual paper, the article is somewhat sensationalized (shocker, i know). It is still possible to prevent collapse, but it requires extensive and fairly quick reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

    Most of the other responsible will be dead by then. I’d much prefer they see their mistakes (⇀ ↼‶)

      Feels good to live in a country where my vote for the Greens party actually matters.

          they might crater the economy so badly that it wipes out a ton of carbon use and buys the rest of the world some more time (albeit probably along with millions of people starving to death, akin to Mao’s famine)

    At this point I just hope I die before it gets too much worse. Spring and summer make me horribly depressed because they’re so much different than they were when I was a kid.
