    He has gone through with a pile of policies which to try and achieve that though, and US emissions are falling.

      Not falling fast enough, not falling for 1.5°C. Don’t do PR for presidents who don’t give two shits about reaching climate goals.

        Definitely not enough for 1.5C; whether recent policy changes get it to fall fast enough for 2C is an open question. They might if we can keep them in place after the election and the rest of the world joins in.

          Anything less than 1.5°C is defeatism and is literally the end of the world as we know it. It will literally mean mass death. I won’t settle for a 2°C target.

            I’ll be fighting for every fraction of a degree, but I don’t seriously expect to pull off 1.5C seeing as we’re likely to pass that point permanently within the next couple years
