I find the obsession with Global Mean XYZ meaningless. Societally irrelevant.

GMT was necessary when change wasn't as obvious, ie in the 1980s or 1990s.
Today, regional impact stats and collapse thresholds are societally relevant. Both, to inform policy and to inform the public.
1.5°C stays relevant as enshrined binding international law. And maybe for climate litigation; all countries' governments in Paris accepted damages from up to 1.5°C.

I imagine a parallel world where climate scientists KNOW that #ClimateChange is an accepted fact, and Copernicus doesn't title a "Warmest year on record", trapped in the forever-loop of trying to convince climate trolls.

But instead, Copernicus has the intellectual free space for societally relevant scoops: "Year where C-C shatters the most livelihoods in South America" or
"Year of largest harvest loss in both, East Europe and South Asia".

A lost playthrough of Daybreak is brutal.

Frustrating. Maybe because the defeat feels epistemically charged: as if climate futures themselves were lost.

I’m currently working with a colleague on this game in a chapter for an upcoming edited volume on humans, machines & climate crisis. We analyse how knowledge, imaginaries and epistemics are translated into playable mechanics — and what performing the game does to futuring.

Curious: has anyone here played Daybreak / e-Mission?
What did you notice?
