declang@ariadne How are you managing with contradicting sources of climate information?
Contradicting sources need to really speak to eachother or we are going to get a lot of people not knowing what to believe, only seeing the contradictions, making very poor decisions, including fossil fuel execs who will use the lack of clarity ..... and its shockingly stressful for everyone.

#Climate #ClimateCrisis from the Guardian: "The world can still limit global heating to 1.5C, and to claim that the target is now out of reach is to play into the hands of fossil fuel proponents, the world’s leading energy economist has warned. Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, the global authority on energy, slammed scientists and activists who have claimed that the recent #Cop27 UN climate summit killed off hopes for the crucial 1.5C limit. “It is factually incorrect, and politically it is very wrong,” said Birol. “The fact is that the chances of 1.5C are narrowing, but it is still achievable.” Birol said that the claims that the 1.5C limit was dead were coming from an “unusual coalition” of scientists, activists and fossil fuel industry “incumbents”. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/30/giving-up-on-15c-climate-target-would-be-gift-to-carbon-boosters-says-iea-head
