1. Even if we cut GG emissions to zero we have baked in a huge amount of warming.

So it's great that GG emissions 'might have peaked', but that peak is massively unsustainable and needs to be driven down to as close to zero as is possible, and even then billions of people and billions more of other species are going to suffer on the altar of perpetual growth.


All that matters is that the GDP growth went up more than expected, and Fox News hosts are flustered about that.


I shudder every time we celebrate economic expansion. Unfortunately if we don't the fucking fascists are going to take over and, among other abominations. will quickly undo any progress on sustainability.
