Pete, anyone who buys this shit is just going to back the plain straight white male. Might as well stand for something now.
People are literally being kidnapped and imprisoned without due process because of their identity.
They are being abused, neglected, disenfranchised, illegal renditioned, and even killed because of their identity.
What a ridiculous man.

The thing is, 1.5 degrees was was an unrealistic target from the start. The only way earth system models could make it work was by overshooting the target, getting to 0 emissions, and then devoting 2-3x the land area of India to carbon removal later in the century.
