        When an area isn’t survivable without air conditioning, any power outage can kill millions.

          When an area isn’t survivable without air conditioning, people shouldn’t be living there.

      No it won’t. Eco-fascist rhetoric like this is unproductive because it ignores the fact that the people who are most shielded from the harms of climate change are the ones most responsible for it.

      Billionaires and others who are profiting most from pillaging the planet’s resources are not the ones at risk here.

      (N.b. I am not calling you an eco-fascist, just that this framing is commonly used by eco-fascists. Part of why I highlight this is because your use of this rhetoric may not be intentional)

    It’s been awhile since I have seen talk about 2°, as if we have given up on that number. Maybe only in the US, where climate change isn’t even really discussed in a meaningful way by our two primary presidential candidates.

      The official goal is still 1.5, but that’s kind of irrelevant, since we’ve been over 1.5 for an entire year already, and the only reason the official number is still at 1.4 is that the number is averaged over several years and it’s technically possible temps will go down next year.

        technically possible temps will go down next year.

        I sure hope so. But I think it would be bad to plan on luck alone (not that you are advocating for that).
