      That's not the scientific consensus Anyone who says there's a hard cutoff point for "human survival" is making shit up

      And, bluntly, if there is a hard cutoff point and we have to get to it within ten years, that's fundamentally impossible and straight up not going to happen Bernie couldn't do it either Only conquering the whole world and ruling it with an iron fist could do it

      Sanders didn't even propose to do it. Indeed, the scientific consensus expressed in that report was that a fundamental change in the social and economic system was necessary in order to ensure human survival.

      The IPCC report didn't say anything about "human survival" and hyperbolic messaging about all human life dying out or the oceans boiling etc is exactly what people have been saying not to say

      People paid for by the oil industry, certainly. Meanwhile, the IPCC were quite blunt, having been utterly ignored for years when they've tried to be diplomatic about it.

      Again, that's literally not what the IPCC said, the furthest they went was saying "For some people alive today this is a life and death concern"

      Have you actually read the report? It explicitly DOES NOT talk about hard cutoffs Instead it repeatedly draws a comparison between 1.5 degrees of warming and 2 degrees of warming, saying the 2 degrees scenario is "more extreme" and provides "less opportunity to adapt"

      The summary is online if you want to look at it It's literally incrementalism - "Here's one scenario that's bad and here's one that's worse, with concrete reasons that it's worse" https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/chapter/spm/ …

      Listen dude I follow a lot of climate activists who've been talking about this a long time and the biggest consensus is to stay away from rhetoric about hard cutoffs, especially when it leads to disastrous accelerationist rhetoric

      The whole nature of the climate issue is incremental Any mitigation is better than no mitigation A little bit less warming is always an improvement over a little bit more There's no hard cutoff past which you can say "Fuck it, it doesn't matter anymore, let's all get high"

          Accelerationism is especially insane on the issue of climate, where TIMING MATTERS Small things done now have a butterfly effect down the line, a little bit of improvement now is worth a ton more improvement 20 years from now

          And since right now not pumping more CO2 into the atmosphere for the hell of it would be an improvement....

          'If the emissions gap is not closed by 2030, it is very plausible that the goal of a well-below 2°C temperature increase is also out of reach.' https://www.ipcc.ch/2019/09/22/united-in-science-report-climate-summit/ …

          That's a good goal, but it's still just an arbitrary cutoff. There's a meaningful difference between 1.9 degrees and 1.6, and another meaningful difference between 2.6 degrees and 2.3. One of those happens to be above 2, but that doesn't flatten into "makes no difference".
