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?

if we only have that time to save half of humanity, how much is already fucked no matter what?

A ton of things. Just check all of the places around the globe that have low or no food production or scarce water for starters. Also, places that are highly energy dependent such as car dependent suburbia might be desolated soon. The article also cites plenty of human system dynamics that could be thrown out of the window due to the "catabolic" collapse.
