This is roughly the same pace that the IPCC says we need to sustain every year until 2030 to be on pace to limit global warming to 1.5C and hit the Paris climate goals.

This is what "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society" looks like. https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts/status/1252944915392274433">https://twitter.com/CBCAlerts...

We& #39;re doing it. It& #39;s possible!

We need to take some serious time and energy during this pandemic to look around and see what parts of this new way of living we can keep (like less air travel) and what parts we can& #39;t (like huge unemployment).

There is a balance. We& #39;ll find it.

That& #39;s the whole point of a Green New Deal.

We need a just transition for workers and those who have been marginalized by the excesses of the capitalist system that got us into this mess.

We can build a better world for everyone out of the ashes of the old one.

Obviously, a pandemic is not a climate plan. That& #39;s ecofascism.

But action on this scale is what& #39;s needed to transform our world into one that sustains and nurtures life in all its forms.

We are remembering we can act in solidarity with each other. https://thecorrespondent.com/330/no-the-coronavirus-is-not-good-for-the-climate/43687590870-ae5ff40e">https://thecorrespondent.com/330/no-th...

What we need isn& #39;t a rapid, unplanned recession to avert a pandemic, it& #39;s degrowth -- it& #39;s abandoning the concept of growth entirely. It& #39;s prioritizing life, health, happiness above money.

On a finite planet, growth was always a dangerous illusion anyway. https://thecorrespondent.com/357/outgrowing-growth-why-quality-of-life-not-gdp-should-be-our-measure-of-success/47262030123-97f9dfeb">https://thecorrespondent.com/357/outgr...

If we trust the scientists who have devoted their lives to finding solutions to the climate emergency — which, if we do nothing, will end civilization as we know it in our lifetimes — we know we must treat each other better.

That& #39;s the lesson of 2020. https://thecorrespondent.com/34/climate-change-is-about-how-we-treat-each-other/4501145726-d1cba5b1">https://thecorrespondent.com/34/climat...
