2d

Climate scientists and a UN deputy secretary-general warned that the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target was effectively lost and current emissions pledges needed reworking, raising fears of future geoengineering proposals.

The 1.5°C target is dead. That makes carbon removal MORE urgent, not less. Climate advocates have rallied for clean energy but stayed silent as Trump canceled CDR projects. Democrats must embrace all climate solutions the climate crisis demands. #Climate #COP30 open.substack.com/pub/paulinaj...

If you ignore it, climate change will just go away.
Since the beginning of 2025, Democrats have pulled back from talking about climate change, according to data analyzed by The Post.

At the same time, nations and companies have been whittling down their goals — or going silent on the issue entirely.

New reality: the 1.5 °C target is slipping out of reach. Glen P. Peters argues that while staying under 1.5 °C may become impossible, staying well below 2 °C remains within reach — and urgent, pragmatic policy action can still make a difference.

Es incómodo para un científico recordar lo apremiante y grave de la crisis climática, la relativa inacción y los niveles de hipocresía que se gastan en materia climática y ambiental. Es motivante construir un Pacto de Estado por el clima.

We've known what to do, we've known how to do it, and yet the power of capital means governments in so many countries, mine included, refuse to make significant changes.
