If we had started to take significant action in 1995 then we wouldn't be in such a predicament today, but sadly...pic.twitter.com/L9hNSH2a50
Twenty eight years since the first IPCC report - this a sad indictment of our collective failure to give a damn for anything other than our own short-term self interest. Are these scenarios really the pinnacle of our climate change community’s ingenuity & analysis?https://twitter.com/rarohde/status/988687041541099520 …

Yes, that's the problem. Back in the 1990s, I argued that you could only trust politicians when they were prepared to take significant action in their term of political office, and stopped passing the buck onto future generations of politicians. I still think that is the case.

Even that "remaining C budget" is a bad joke...

What makes me angry about this is that back in the 1990s politicians made grandstanding speeches about taking action, and the public voted for politicians promising to take significant action to address the causes of climate change.

Not a science/analytical fail, but political. Ran into coordinated disinfo campaign that opposed action in English speaking world. Failure was not taking that seriously.

I don’t think we get out of it that easy. As a body expected to be vociferously independent we’ve done little more than tickle our funders when we should be holding them to account. We’ve substituted rigour for eloquence & and pursued ruse after ruse to avoid difficult questions.

This is essentially magical thinking - wishes masquerading as a plan and used to avoid hard political action. It's like not studying at school on the basis that AI will make knowledge unnecessary when it's time to get a job. Maybe it will happen, but counting on it is nuts.

.We are doomed. No, seriously, we are doomed. Wake up folks while there are still some better and worse levels of doom available.

We are local, social creatures. Not very good at global, physical considerations.
