Actually this is kinda why I think the framing of "we have X years to avoid 2 degrees C heating, and we're looking pretty fucked" is kinda bad. Being fucked isn't a binary thing; 2 degrees heating is very bad, but 2.5 or 3 degrees would be way worse, and even if we were pretty much doomed on any particular target it would still be worth getting the number as low as possible beyond that. Disagree. People need a specific target to get them riled up. Talking about the variance in effects of 2 degrees versus 3 degrees will mean nothing to them, neither will a nebulous 'we gotta fix this'. Give them a doomsday clock. It won't work but the chances are slightly higher! --- It's Reyn Time. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:945507263] in Politics C...
