That is overly optimisic though, the Paris agreement was a minimal effort, California and all other governments are on track to fail miserably at following even that. Which means we are talking about a lot more than a "few hot weeks".
- dane-pgp 4y ago> the Paris agreement was a minimal effort, California and all other governments are on track to fail miserably at following even that. Could you clarify what you mean by "on track"? According to the Guardian[0], "California Governor Jerry Brown [issued] an executive order calling for the entire California economy to become carbon-neutral by 2045" and "In order to stay below the Paris climate threshold of 2°C global warming above pre-industrial temperatures, humanity must become carbon-neutral by around 2060 or 2070." Are you saying that California looks like it will miss its target by 25 years?
