I didn't unequivocally love the book, for reasons I get into in the review, but I think if there's one book that every earth-system scientist and everyone in the climate movement should read (along with folks like @chrislhayes.bsky.social), it's this one.

*Overshoot* give a full accounting of those assets, which I've tried to summarize in my essay, and — along with *The Long Heat*, coming in October — shows how CDR, solar geo-engineering, and "adaptation" contribute to their protection.
It was a tough read for me, emotionally. But necessary.

The horrors we're seeing from the fossil fascists — but also the quasi-religious technophilia we see in the Abundance faction and in the majority of IPCC mitigation scenarios (!) — are about protecting those assets from stranding. Full stop.

Rather, the political conflict of climate change is centered on *assets*, namely the trillions in assets that would be utterly devalued if we really did phase out fossil fuels.

After Paris, the IPCC justified the expansion of the fossil-fuel system by implicitly promising that we could "overshoot” 1.5C yet ultimately meet the target anyway.

Breaking News: The EPA moved to stop requiring polluters to report their emissions of greenhouse gases. The proposal would end a key tool the government uses to track carbon dioxide, methane and other gases that are driving climate change.
E.P.A. to Stop Collecting Emissions Data From Polluters
The data, from thousands of coal-burning power plants, oil refineries, steel mills and other industrial facilities, is the country’s most comprehensive way to track greenhouse gases.

And to be clear, the meaning of "it's one thing to argue X, but they are going far beyond X" is that "X" is reasonable or acceptable.
But the @ipcc.bsky.social said in 2023 that we already have too much fossil fuel to halt heating at 2C. So how is an all-of-the-above strategy reasonable?

Wait, why is it ok "to argue that American energy dominance supersedes climate concerns, or that we need an all-of-the-above energy strategy that doesn't pick clean energy sources as favorites"?
I mean, I understand why right-wing politicians argue these things, but why does a climate modeler?
