You can tuck your head between your knees and kiss your target of “not-more-than-1.5-degrees-Celsius-warming” good-bye. That target was close to impossible when they adopted it at the last big climate summit in Paris in 2015, and that train has now left the station. This is not a license for despair. Cutting greenhouse emissions is still important and urgent, but the issue is now also how to deal with much more dangerous warming. We will need new strategies and new technologies to contain the damage. ~ Gwynne Dyer
