    Well, we can pretty much gather as much. A decade ago, two decades ago, the warning was “if we don’t act, in 100 years the world will be in trouble,” and then it went, “if we don’t act fast, we will see catastrophic effects within the next generation” to “this is happening at an alarming rate.”

    And in case no one’s noticed, we’ve barely slowed down emissions, if at all. Greenwashing has had a profound effect and people think we’re doing a decent job, on our way to “net zero,” but we are digging a much deeper hole, really fuckin fast.
