Action on climate change faces new threat: The doomers who think it's too late to act

Give Climate Change the Name It Deserves: Fossil-Fueled Destruction

“Climate Crisis” only identifies the symptoms of oil and gas dependence. As time runs out, we need a term that focuses on what — and who — is to blame.

The Conversation

The disagreement between two climate scientists that will decide our future

Getting to net zero emissions by mid-century is conventionally understood as humanity’s best hope for keeping Earth’s surface temperature (already 1.2°C above its pre-industrial level) from increasing well beyond 1.5°C – potentially reaching a point at which it could cause widespread societal breakdown.

LiveScience

Michael Mann: Yes, we can still stop the worst effects of climate change. Here's why.

State-of-the-art climate models suggest that we are not committing to decades of additional warming once we stop spewing carbon into the atmosphere. That means there's still time to stop the worst impacts of climate change.

The Conversation

Our minds handle risk strangely – and that's partly why we delayed climate action so long

We now have a very narrow window to significantly and rapidly slash greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the most disastrous effects of climate change, with just an estimated six years left before we blow our carbon budget to stay below 1.5°C of warming.
