THE ENVIRONMENT
"This elevation of property rights over environmental protection and common services highlights the foundation of this reform: the continued emphasis on economic gain over care of our people and environment. Gains felt only by the wealthy few with the power and political influence to push such reforms. The rest of us will be left no better off, and surrounded by an increasingly frail natural world."

A Generation Raised to Save the World, Now Too Broke to Recycle.
"If we were to assume that an individual or group’s ability to create ecological sustainability is tied to their socio-economic conditions, then it surely should be the responsibility of the CEOs, the mega-corporations, and the global industries to ensure that waste and pollution are meaningfully addressed and reduced. The everyday consumer, like you and me, are restricted to the corporate fiefdoms that surround us."

The Bottom Line.
2024 was the hottest year on record. The global average temperature sat between 1.55 and 1.6°C higher than pre-industrial levels.
This signals a new era of the climate crisis; the post-1.5°C world. While it’s important to note that we have not yet necessarily missed the goals under the Paris Agreements of limiting global heating to 1.5 degrees as this measure needs long term averages, it signals that our window is rapidly closing. The last 10 years have been the hottest on record, almost perfectly year-on-year. If this pattern continues, which it is expected to do, we will not meet these climate targets.
The climate crisis is no longer hypothetical, safely obscured behind a lack of immediacy; the post-1.5°C world is one where we will all feel the effects of anthropogenic emissions. This is the final chapter where we will have any chance at altering our path, at rectitude.
