"At the achieved rates, these countries would on average take more than 220 years to reduce their emissions by 95%, emitting 27 times their remaining 1·5°C fair-shares in the process. To meet their 1·5°C fair-shares alongside continued economic growth, decoupling rates would on average need to increase by a factor of ten by 2025."

So the findings are what we all thought they would be: not even close.

Thanks for sharing.

It's so much easier for common folks to read this articles (written by the actual researchers of course) than the actual papers.

When I learned about tipping points and collapse of ecosystems I instantly thought about the time when I was into fish tanks and helped other people on the hobby. If you let that thing go sideways in any way for too long, you were facing catastrophic consequences, be it plagues of snails, algae, etc. At some point it just goes downhill, and most of the time the buildup is unnoticeable and when you do notice that something is off, it's already almost impossible to save the ecosystem.

That's a very evolutionist stand, which is proved to do more harm than good to society. There are economic options out of capitalism and communism, for that matter.

If you think that capitalism is going forward or a valid place to start something from, it surprises me that you're even in this community, since even Marx himself abandoned the idea that capitalism was the necessary (although wrong) path to get to socialism.

We visited NY last year for the first time and it's so sad to see the pictures. I hope the people is taking care of themselves and masking up despite whatever bs fox news and others say.

This is not only unhealthy but, life threatening in the short term for some people.
