Very few people seem aware that we only have about three or four years left before Earth's species start being smashed by catastrophic 1.5°C of global warming in the context of toxic pollution, deforestation, etc.
Perhaps our media and education systems are...utterly inadequate?

Immediate postgrowth action to radically transform the global economy into a post-capitalist endeavour could yet slow us down and push back 1.5°C by decades or even theoretically perhaps avoid it, though scientists say using a 1750 baseline we already exceeded 1.5°C in 2020.

the climate emergency 'is about to get much worse unless we face the uncomfortable reality that we must fundamentally transform our economy, our energy system..our lifestyles, to avoid dangerous climate change'
Postgrowth limits damage. Danger is here.phys.org/news/2021-08-g…

Betting on speculative technological change.
'Post-growth approaches may make it easier to achieve rapid mitigation while improving social outcomes, and should be explored by climate modellers.'
Economic growth is driving species into extinction.

Economic growth means extinction.
Only a postgrowth economy can keep us below 2C this century. 1.5C is horrific enough.
The thread below is shocking, but we mustn't ignore how grave mass extinction is.
It's not just abrupt climate change :

'the chance of reaching 1.5°C of heating by 2025 has “roughly doubled” compared to last year’s predictions and now sits at 40%..surpassing that target will usher in climate catastrophe, triggering mass species dieoffs'

'The world will likely exceed 1.5C between 2026 and 2042 in scenarios where emissions are not rapidly reduced, with a central estimate of between 2030 and 2032.'
I'd say 2025-2029.

'the IPCC AR6 report states that 1.5℃ warming will be reached or exceeded in the early 2030s in all emissions scenarios considered – except the highest emissions scenario, for which the crossing would occur even earlier.' 2028 is given as an example: realclimate.org/index.php/arch…

I fear 1.5°C before the end of this decade not least because.. 'Under governments’ current recovery spending plans, global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are set to climb to record levels in 2023 and continue rising in the following years.'iea.org/news/with-only…
