I hope you are aware that severe contortions are required to limit warming to 1.5°C and that significantly more warming is still on the table.

But ah yes, plants love CO2 so humans must love the heat.



The current assumption of the climate apocalypse is: We are going into a brick wall, it’s our fault, we have to put this as first priority.

While there is some truth to that, we are also going into a brick wall in many differents ways.

What is the most important? How much ressource should we allocate to each one? In how long will this be a problem? How to assess if we are making progress with our measures?

How many poor people today are we ready to sacrifice to reduce CO2 now (raising energy prices, reducing fertilizers)

The improvement in growth of plant was an unintended positive consequence of our action. The deserts are greening, we should at least take notice.

From what I see, the rapid improvement of technology: solar, ev and other will make climate change a non issue.
