“The only safe path forward is a just transition away from fossil fuels, one that protects health, safeguards ecosystems, and supports communities rather than sacrificing them for short-term profit.”

    Sadly, 1.5C is already cooked because the models were too conservative and flat wrong about sensitivity. When you factor in political resistance, I expect that 4C is unachievable.

    As far as transitioning away from fossil fuels, we have no ready scalable substitute for the Haber Bosch process, so we’re kind of stuck. Probably should have been investing more in searching for one starting years ago, but when a substantial fraction of the population doesn’t believe there is a problem until their own personal life is impacted, you get our dumbest possible timeline.
