If the human race gambled in Rio a decade ago that climate change could be arrested by voluntary action(s), that gamble has spectacularly failed to pay off, as COP30's failure to focus on the reduction (and eradication) of fossil fuel usage attests.

As I've said before but should future generations survive the growing climate crisis, they will look back at the early C21st as a period when a craven global political class betrayed the future!

The world lost the climate gamble. Now it faces a dangerous new reality

The world bet on collective but voluntary action to keep global warming at a safe level.

The future generations will look back at the failure to act on the #ClimateCrisis - and at the obvious, massive concentration of wealth and power - and shake their heads.

"The answer was so obvious", they'll say.

@TCatInReality @ChrisMayLA6 just completed ian mcewan's novel "what we can know." it's set one hundred years in the climate-ravaged future. the time we are currently entering is known then as "the derangement."
