The chances of limiting global heating to 1.5° died years ago.

If we wait until the official definition of 1.5° averaged over 30 years to be reached before taking meaningful action we’ll see individual years of 2-3°. Which is catastrophic.

It is not too late to act on climate change because climate change is not pass/fail. Every faction of a degree matters and is worth fighting for.

That's not propaganda or wishful thinking. It's evidence-based. Suggesting otherwise is as unscientific as climate denial, and just as damaging.

We are at a critical moment in our profession's history. Our survival depends on resisting the right. Our clients depend on it. We must not mirror national and international politics. If your professional body has elections coming up, there is no room for apathy. Vote.
