With evidence mounting on the failure to limit global warming to 1.5C, do you think global carbon emissions will be low enough by 2050 to at least avoid the most catastrophic climate change doomsday scenarios forecast by the turn of the century?

I am somewhat hopeful most developed countries will get there but I wonder if developing countries will have the ability and inclination to buy into it as well.

I agree with everything you’ve said and I know big oil has used the “individual responsibility” as a way of dodging their responsibility.

Big oil has a lot to answer for.

But so do we. In almost every country there’s been a “Green” party and choices for electors to make in regards to what regulation we’ve desired.

And the fact is we all have a lot of answer for.
