The 1.5-degree climate goal may be ‘deader than a doornail,’ and scientists are bitterly divided over it | CNN
www.cnn.com
Countries agreed in 2015 to try and keep global warming to 1.5 degrees. But what if the battle to stay under this limit has already been lost?

    it’s idiotic of CNN to report this as like a scientific disagreement. this is a disagreement among scientists about what is politically feasible. so now status quo politicians get to use this as an arrow in their quiver to dispute the necessity of even aiming for a 1.5 degree target, as if the targets are beholden to the models, and not the other way around

    Nobody is bitterly divided (that’s just propaganda flair) … apart from rich people and their various pets (politicians).

    Even if 1.5°C has become impossible, and I do believe it is already, I’ll still fight for it.
