Emissions are projected to rise to record levels over the next 3 or 4 years. The danger is dire 1.6°C-2°C at >450 ppm of CO2 by the 2030s as aerosols are cut - that's world ending for a horrific number of people and species. We must focus on the 2020s, 2030s, & 2040s!

🧵3. As the vast majority of scientists concede that 1.5-2°C is unavoidable assuming continued economic growth, we must have emergency degrowth action to protect everybody including other species. It is a scandal that this option is being virtually ignored.nature.com/articles/s4146…
🧵4. Capitalism, neoliberalism, ecomodernism... that we are heading for 1.7C-2C and more very, very soon is the key indication that these ideas are a failure. Economic growth is associated with future cataclysm as has been pointed out by critics.
