IPCC scientists talk about the future:
“The big difference [with the most recent IPCC report] was that all of the scientists I worked with were incredibly frustrated. Everyone was at the end of their rope, asking: what the fuck do we have to do to get through to people how bad this really is?”
“We did our science, we put this really good report together and – wow – it really didn’t make a difference on the policy. It’s very difficult to see that, every time.”
“1.5C is a political game – we were never going to reach this target.”
Asked what individual action would be effective, he said: “Civil disobedience.”
“Fight for a fairer world.”
