"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into overshoot within the next few years": a stark message by PIK Director Rockström & James Dyke in @theconversation.com. Yet, science shows a way back: fossil-fuel phase-out, nature protection, carbon removal.

The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality
The world bet on collective but voluntary action to keep global warming at a safe level.

Forget about carbon emissions — retreating from net zero means higher power costs and higher taxes for all Australians. It's an expensive, elitist culture war.

‘The government’s target is not the ceiling for our ambition—it is just the floor on which we come together and build climate solutions at the scale and speed needed to cap warming at 1.5°C—which remains an absolutely non-negotiable goal.’
Vai Shah is a friend of mine, so I'm contractually obliged to love this, but also it's just objectively great.
