Not gonna lie... It scared me when they mentioned that we only have 2025-2031 to properly reduce emissions and save at least half of humanity.

Also, it was interesting how they mentioned the fossil fuel tactics that are similar to the cigarette industry on distorting data.

Is it true that we have so little time left?

Similar to things I've read on https://arctic-news.blogspot.com

I'm of the opinion that the fog of war makes it impossible to really know how much time we have. We definitely have less than what the IPCC is saying and they are far too conservative to trust, but assuming the absolute worst case scenario by default isn't convincing.

I'm certain things will get worse than expected, faster than expected. I'm uncertain about near term rapid climate change predictions, though.
