    Yes. However, the longer we wait, the worse it will get. If we look at all the various emission targets and dates, let’s say carbon neutrality for 2050 or whatever… Then it makes a huge huge different if we now cut 80% of those emissions in the first half, versus cutting them in the later half, or stretching it out painfully until the very end.

    That’s why I’m so pessimistic about the whole topic. Everyone just slouches along as if there’s nothing to worry about. Meanwhile, a huge portion of our climate models seem to be even a bit too optimistic and not matching what is happening in the real world. And apparently it still does not care anyone. I just don’t get it.
