  1. As the world burns, some reading:

    Climate tipping points
    Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points
    “Climate tipping points are conditions beyond which changes in a part of the climate system become self-perpetuating. These changes may lead to abrupt, irreversible, and dangerous impacts with serious implications for humanity.”
    science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/sc

    Deep warming
    ‘Man is unwittingly conducting a vast geophysical experiment’ – an experiment with a highly uncertain outcome, but clear and important risks for life on Earth.”
    “We will need to transform the human story... It must become a story of doing less, not more. A novel rupture is needed: Use less energy”
    aeon.co/essays/theres-a-deeper

    ..."You must change your life."
    Rainer Maria Rilke, The final line of “Archaic Torso of Apollo"

  3. I have a strong suspicion that allowing the sale of Internal Combustion Engine (ICEs) if they are run on carbon neutral fuels is a feeble excuse. Such fuels are not generally available and are expensive and wasteful to make. If manufacturers are allowed to make and sell ICE cars people will run them on petrol or diesel and we shall continue to destroy the planet. #ClimateChange #EV #InternalCombustionEngines
