Scientists have been talking about the need to draw down carbon emissions for DECADES. Four decades, in fact. We had a report just 3 years ago that gave us a very clear timeline for the need to draw down.
If companies have failed to respond to that, they have only themselves to blame at this point. When we've asked, and asked, and asked and made clear the necessary timeline, at some point, we have to put force behind that.
If governments had put that force behind it earlier, then that force could have come with a gentler timeline. But at this point, we don't have time for that. We have to rip off the bandaid. And the longer we wait, the worse that rip is going to be.
