Hey! You forgot about the #IPCC report!
Don't worry - I'm going to do another thread here, this time with highlights from the 'longer report', which is longer than the summary of the synthesis, but shorter than the as-yet unreleased full synthesis (which are all summaries)

The past is here, it's just not evenly (temporally and spatially)
Hello to North America and Europe, responsible for 39% of historical CO2 emissions
(some weird country groupings here....but that's because countries are weird concepts)
The most vulnerable countries also tend to have the lowest emissions per person
It feels old hat now but it's still an important point.
Not exactly a tick of approval for SRM. Didn't they hear about how 'punk rock' it is
To limit warming to 1.5 or 2C, we need to only emit a tiny fraction of what has already been emitted so far.
Existing and planned fossil fuel infrastructure tip us past that, easily.
Hence: WE CAN'T BUILD ANY NEW FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE.

Power really needs to come first, in the sequence of sectors that reach near-zero emissions up to 2050, for carbon dioxide emissions.
