You ever sit back and dream about how the headlines would read in a sane world that took the IPCC report seriously?

“United Nations calls emergency summit to double the targets set out in the Paris Agreement”

“Global ban on all new fossil fuel infrastructure to go into effect immediately”

“Amazon and boreal forests permanently returned to Indigenous Peoples”

“Former colonial powers to finance the climate adaptation and clean energy transition in developing countries as reparations”

“Global definition of ‘refugee’ amended to account for climate refugees”

“UN Secretary General: There is still much, much more to be done. This is an all-hands-on-deck crisis, but all world leaders have committed to the long haul and the protection of our most vulnerable.”

“United States, Russia, and China reroute their military budgets and personnel to rebuilding world energy infrastructure and developing new technologies”

“Ford, Volvo, Toyota, Chevrolet and others to bring production of fossil fuel powered cars to a screeching halt in bold move toward electric vehicles”

“Celebrities, led by Beyoncé, lead creation of a global fund to support victims of climate disasters”

What a world we could have if the powers that be only came to their senses. But, alas, they’re as sick as our planet.
