Live tweeting from the co2-budget.com conference. First up: the inimitable @KevinClimate, who never minces words. Distressingly little progress for the climate emergency, compared with covid response. 1/n 
2. Reminder: It's the carbon budget, the area under the emissions curve, that determines warming. More emissions now means more (up to impossible) cuts later. @KevinClimate
3. Net zero is NOT based on a total carbon budget (which forces us to face actions demanded today). Net zero is focused on far future (2045, 2050)- generational passing of the buck to future policymakers & scientists. Assumes all tons are =, ignores GHGs, sources. @KevinClimate
