Trump’s re-election is “the final nail in the coffin” for the Paris Agreement's North Star goal, nine experts told HEATED. But we can still limit the damage.
IPCC declared 1.5C wasn’t feasible a few years ago. I don’t recall the year, but it’s the same report when they said that the limit would be broken, but we’d find a way to pull it back down eventually with future tech. Or as some call it, “magic”.
It’s just copium. “But we can still…” i.e. things that won’t happen anyway because they already did not happen before and are for sure going the reverse way under Trump. The few people who claim to care need to stop making themselves hopeful and happy with delusions, it’s not going to help. We’d need severe extreme measures now, things the general public would not want. That’s just the unfortunate truth of it, but one that people have to realize. Just like how people need to realize how many people want far right fascists like Trump, or the garbage parties in Europe. Things will get much worse now.

It’s the same problem as “minimum wage” in the US; The goalpost moves further away as nothing is accomplished.
