With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

I am a reformed “I hate small talk” person. I no longer hate small talk. It’s now more important than ever. Ask a stranger if they put up Halloween decorations yet. Talk about the weather. Commiserate about the potholes. Go out and touch grass. Help fuck up this isolation we’re all living in.

Universal Basic Services is no alternative to Universal Basic Income. Both are needed. UBI reduces the strain on public services. Resources put into education goes further. Healthier people need less medical care. Cash also fills gaps and shows trust in people, empowering them with freedom of choice
