If I were polling people on the likelihood of blowing past the Paris targets, I wouldn't ask climate scientists: I'd poll CEOs, elected officials, and leaders, at every scale. I'd ask WHY they felt that way. And I'd want those answers shared. For more: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7194083120868921345/

We need to do 3 things about climate change: 1) Mitigate - reduce emissions 2) Adapt - to changes that have already occurred, those we are committed to, and those we choose to occur because we don’t mitigate enough 3) Suffer - because we don’t do enough to mitigate or adapt

"Implemented policies result in projected emissions that lead to warming of 3.2°C, with a range of 2.2°C to 3.5°C (medium confidence)" According to the landmark, widely reported IPCC Synthesis Report published in 2023. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/ 1/ pic.twitter.com/8H1jENWUia

Implementation of current pledges and targets (with NO additional climate policy achievements) brings warming down to ~2C. Limiting warming to 1.5C requires substantial additional policy innovation. But we all knew that. Right? climateactiontracker.org/global/temperatures/ pic.twitter.com/QZWPEdFiZr
