IPCC models are based on the idea that some magical future CDR-technology will save us. So we are so doomed.

Nearly all workers (93 per cent) don’t know how their company’s sustainability strategy applies to their day-to-day jobs. The finding from a report by AimHi Earth has discovered over three-quarters of employees are unhappy about their bosses’ lack of climate action (77 per cent), exposing a lack of faith in senior business leaders’ sustainability efforts. Over half of those surveyed (52 per cent) think their employers are likely to greenwash

EVs Are Selling Well For Everyone ( Except Tesla )
But there is a bullcrap line in media that evs are not selling.
Is it Exxon sleeper agents, or Tesla bribes? GMs Board wants to go under. So who is dumping lies gets complicated.
But EV sales are up 53% FIFTY THREE PER CENT
And KPMG accountant's says that already more than half of Canadians "will never buy a gas car again."
It seems the EV transition is going just fine.

“It has been almost 5 years since Black Summer. Fires & floods, supercharged by climate pollution, have claimed 100s of Australian lives, 1000s of Australian homes. An election is on the horizon & the leader of the opposition declares that, if he wins, he will dump Australia’s 2030 climate targets, the very targets developed to secure a safer future for our KIDS and grandkids.
It should be difficult to picture such a reality”

Germany Not Doing Fair Share Endangers EU Climate Goal, T&E Says
The shortfall in Germany and Italy alone by the end of the decade would result in a deficit of about 256 million tons of CO2 emissions, significantly more than the potential credits that will be available elsewhere in the EU. Germany’s need will equate to around 70% of available credits, triggering competition with other failing countries and likely driving prices higher, T&E said

We’ve Hit Peak Denial. Here’s Why We Can’t Turn Away From Reality
"We are living through a terrible time in humanity. Here’s why we tend to stick our heads in the sand and why we need to pull them out, fast"
"We need to guard against lowering our standards for normalcy. When we mentally and emotionally recalibrate to the new normal, we also disassociate from our own humanity."
