1/4 We're about to get a preview of what's going to happen with climate change in coming decades. You cannot wait until hospitals are overwhelmed to take action. It's too late.
Similarly, if you wait until climate catastrophe is upon us, the game is up. You waited far too long.

2/4 I think few people understand that even if we were to begin dramatically cutting CO2 emissions today & go zero carbon by, say, 2040, the world would continue to warm for some time, & the already severe climate change effects would continue to worsen.

3/4 The parallels with Covid don't end there. One likely reason we see such pathetically insufficient action on climate change is that the worst costs will be borne by the poor. And inhabitants of poor countries don't get to vote in rich-country elections.
4/4 And we've of course seen the same pattern with Covid. No matter what filth @TheAtlantic publishes, Covid has disproportionately devastated the poor—both the poor counties of the world and the poor within each country.
