You need to see shocking extent of carbon inequality around the world.
A remarkable study led by Jared Starr finds that super-rich US households emit *2000 TIMES* more CO2e than average low-income country households.
How the f*ck is that even possible? The disparity never ceases to enrage me.

Exploring the Risks of Overshoot: New Research Highlights Critical Challenges for Climate Strategies
As global warming approaches 1.5°C and the urgency to address climate change grows, ambitious strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions become more important than ever. One increasingly discussed approach is the concept of "overshoot," where temperatures exceed a target temporarily before returning to back below it later on. But what are the risks of overshoot, and are we underestimating its long-term consequences?

How much more evidence do we need, after 29 failures, that the climate COPs are not fit for purpose? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
There have been many proposals for a process that would actually work, but all are ignored.
The talks are MEANT to fail.

This is why it is such a bad thing that so many future visions of climate action rely *very* very heavily on CCS; many times bigger than what that study optimistically says is feasible or possible.

The overshoot myth: you can’t keep burning fossil fuels and expect scientists of the future to get us back to 1.5°C
The net zero approach of the Paris agreement has become detached from reality as it increasingly relies on science fiction levels of speculative technology.
