In order to have a shot at staying within 1.5° warming, we must "rapidly reduce and eliminate all production and use of coal, oil, and natural gas and invent and scale up negative emissions technology."

2° warming "wld mean rising sea levels, freshwater shortages, reduced agricultural productivity, food stress, & the conflicts & emigration that come in their wake." "A lot of people will die, & not because they burn to death. It'll be because we don't have enough food & water."

"Climate change could be kept in check if a phaseout of all fossil fuel infrastructure were to begin immediately, according to research." "keeping within the 1.5C limit is possible if radical action is taken immediately."

“Whether it’s drilling a new gas well, keeping an old coal power station open, or even buying a diesel car, the choices we make today will largely determine the climate pathways of tomorrow."

Again: Amazon has a choice. Recall the difference in devastation between 1.5 and 2 warming. Recall that "keeping within the 1.5C limit is possible if radical action is taken immediately." Now recall Amazon boasting it can help oil companies "optimize production & profitability.”

From one of Amazon's public case studies: “Historically, [pipeline] routes were plotted using paper maps, and it would take a month to get a route. With PPRO, now we can do it in about eight hours.” This is both terrifying and sickening given what's at stake.
