The belief that the climate can be stabilised below 1.5C or 2C is a *religious* belief. It's impossible in the real world, where 400ppm of CO2 produces a 3C+ planet. No other outcome is possible within the laws of physics governing this universe.
TIL that as the CO river dries up, AZ is leasing its largest underground aquifer to the Saudis, who are growing water-intensive alfalfa, which is then shipped back to S.A. to feed cattle. Market rate for the lease is $5 million/yr. Saudis pay $86K. azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

The thing driving climate & ecological collapse is the same thing fuelling the descent & corruption of our politics. An unquestioning subservience to neverending economic growth. We URGENTLY need a media brave enough to name this elephant in the room. @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews
