You know what. Fuck it we ball.
It's the rich people's responsibility to fix the planet now. If you're not a rich person do whatever the fuck you want to do.
Start Forest fires. Piss on the Mona lisa. It does not fucking matter anymore and it hasn't for a long time.
Looks like we are great at something: burning oil.
But how can this be, when all the world leaders got together and decided to ? And then all the corporations made sure that ? Surely the plan to was enough to slow climate change!
Since non-climate scientist like me are so dumb, I think using 1.5C, even if it is not going to be achievable, to reiterate the point we have to stop emissions ASAP or else these once-in-500-years droughts and floods will only keep happening and keep getting worse.
Setting a hard limit (true or not) may have hurt more than helped. It introduces the "well, we're not there yet so have some time to act". When the news starts using 2.0 as a new limit, everyone will sigh in relief because we have more time to continue. Except we never did have that time.
That makes sense. That's why we have to keep it at 1.5C even if it's foregone, and 2.0C is very close to foregone if not already.
