      The International Court of Justice issued a strongly worded opinion

      Gotta love the meaningless symbology of the UN. Sometimes I think it exists just to keep good politicians occupied while the shitty ones really lead.

        Spoiler Alert: We are absolutely not going to meaningfully address climate change before it's too late. Not going to happen.

          We already lowered the rate of emissions growth, taking us from 4°C by 2100 to ~3°C by then. Getting more is on us; you can't sit around hoping somebody else acts

            Isn't 2C by 2100 like globally devastating?

              History lesson: The same thing was said about the ozone layer. The global community dealt with that.

                Tell that to Israel, who is opening up a new hole with all their missile launches

                  You must have me confused with someone who has contact with, and political sway over, Israel.

                  Can you explain to me how you came to the conclusion that I have the ability to tell Israel anything?

                    2°C is likely to be ecologically and economically quite damaging, and also at the edge of where we can be reasonably assured that agriculture remains viable. Its not an everybody-dies-instantly threshold
