Reply To: The Climate Emergency

I thought the Paris Agreement goal was to limit global warming to *below* 2C, preferably to 1.5C

Carbon Dioxide Removal may indeed help achieve the target

Scientific American says “…it’s also impossible to meet the Paris goals without at least some CDR…The main takeaway is that today’s efforts aren’t enough.”

I still remain a pessimist.

Capitalism has always had the capability of addressing global warming but always lacked the sufficient political or economic will to do so.

Has that really changed? Has there really been a genuine Road to Damascus conversion by the corporations on climate?

After all the COPs the reluctance to take determined action remains the same and keeps kicking the can down the road.
