In non-surprising breaking news - we're fucked.

"The numbers paint a clear picture," the U.N. said. "To keep emissions below the critical 1.5-degree target set in Paris in 2015, countries must cut emissions by 42 percent overall by 2030 and achieve a 57 percent reduction by 2035."

And the longer we wait, the more drastic the fix is going to be. We could have scaled back car usage and manufacturing 25 years ago in favor of building more trains (for example). But since we didn't do that, the next solution is to completely eliminate the automobile industry. And if we put that off (who am I kidding? Of course we're not gonna do anything), the next steps will be things like eliminating motorized transportation entirely (relying on bikes instead).
