"The nations that make up the G7 have pumped billions of dollars more into fossil fuels than they have into clean energy."

Yes, there are countless opportunities connected to taking real, bold climate action. But as long as we only treat it as “an opportunity” rather than the existential crisis it is we won’t get out of this mess.
We can’t solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis.

If future generations ask me how it was possible that we sacrificed future and present living conditions for humanity and life on earth as we know it, I will show them this article.

”Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”
Well, I don’t know about you but I don’t consider ”climate targets” putting us on track for 2,4°C and current policies indicating we’re headed for 2,9°C (excluding most tipping points, feedback-loops etc) to be ”good”.

When you compare the overall current best available science to their insufficient, hypothetical "climate targets" you clearly see that there’s a gap, there are decades missing.
Until we adress this gap, no real solutions will be found.
Let's call out the bullsh*t.

So apparently California will continue to extract oil for another 2,5 decades... And yet this is somehow seen as “good news”.

Less than one third (!) of Sweden’s total CO2 emissions are included in our climate targets, and we’re not even close to reaching those targets…
How can we solve - or even discuss - a crisis if we ignore more than two thirds of the problem?
