Great headline. We really really have to get to zero emissions quickly - none if this ‘net zero’ fluff www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘Damned if we do but completely stuffed if we don’t’: heatwaves will worsen longer net zero is delayed
A new study suggests heatwaves will not revert back towards preindustrial conditions for at least 1,000 years after emissions target reached

Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update:
The risk estimate has been steady around 0.1% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-948.
That implies a 3% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30.

The Coalition claims net zero by 2050 will cost too much – but unchecked warming or even a delayed transition would be worse for the economy
