Seeing calls "to keep 1.5°C within reach" at #COP30 and am unsure what to make of them. What would a failure to recognise reality mean? Does it mean we are also not recognising the need to adapt to a 1.5°C world?

Is limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C still possible? - Glen P. Peters, 2024
It is always possible to find arguments to make 1.5°C forever possible, but they increasingly diverge from reality. It is time to admit that the world will cros...

I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:
Opinion | A Responsible Way to Cool the Planet
A small, carefully scaled geoengineering program could compensate for the loss of cooling as we eliminate sulfur pollution.

Rising global temperatures increase the chance of crossing climate tipping points – abrupt, potentially irreparable shifts in our climate system. Only decarbonisation can sustainably lower the risk long-term, but our current trajectory makes several tipping points viable over the next century. (1/5)
