New Global Tipping Points report from Lenton et al is out.

I haven't had a chance to digest all of it, but reading through the summary recommendations, it strikes me that the concept of 'tipping points' is needed for for very few of them --

When a poll is run & we're asked to prioritize different issues, and climate change and the economy are both listed, it sends the message that we can only fix only one of those issues, not both.

IMO, that's one of the reasons climate change is never prioritized. Immediacy will always be a priority

If we could get China to use Canadian parts, or build some in Canada then it’s a definite yes to drop tariffs.

The press ask these lay-up question like its a normal thing - "do you intend to implement the Insurrections Act", next up "do you plan to suspend the 2026 elections in blue states?, do you plan to jail Bernie Sanders", "are you running in 2028" - they are normalizing unconstitutional activity.

Once again, everything is Trudeau's fault here. Almost nothing about provincial culpability with international students (especially in Ontario, which got a single passing mention), nothing about the provinces' responsibilities about housing or healthcare. Nope, this was all Trudeau.

Why would we want clean energy that would power almost 2M homes when we can continue to drill for dirty oil and coal and line the pockets of big business?

All major projects should be on the table - and subject to the same type of cost/benefit analysis. We can't fall into a trap about making this just about a pipeline - which our media seems to be doing.
