Pip Hinman: Heat, climate and policy failure

Pip Hinman writes about the relationship between Heat, climate and policy failure.

While most countries have committed to limiting warming to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels — a critical step towards decarbonising the world — this is the bare minimum of what needs to happen. Scientists say we need to stabilise temperature increase to below 1.5°C and this means pushing for an urgent and fundamentally new approach.

The technology exists and the plans have been proffered but without serious political pressure on the government, it will continue to get away with doing nothing — while all living creatures suffer the consequences.

Emphasis Mine

Fortunately, the Capitalists are divided on the issue of climate disruption — this allows ordinary people to influence the debate with the elite.
