How Are We Doing with the Greatest Crisis in Human History?

It’s not Trump, it’s climate change. Even under Biden, we weren’t even coming close to doing enough and of course under Trump, we are doing less nothing. It’s bad. It’s very very very bad.
Seven years ago, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that the world wouldn’t warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels until 2040.
Then two years ago, the group predicted the world would pass that threshold between 2030 and 2035.
Now, new data from the World Meteorological Organization released Wednesdayindicates that Earth will cross this point in just two years.
The accelerated timeline is due to higher-than-expected temperatures over the past few years, diminishing air pollution that cooled the Earth and greenhouse gas emissions that continue to rise globally despite the growth of renewable energy.
And it means that irreversible tipping points in the climate system — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the wide-scale collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than scientists previously believed.
Humans–smart enough to transform the planet, too stupid to know how to control those changes.
99% of all species on this planet would benefit if humans went extinct.
