the most important "take-home" for me is, yes, we can do this.

But ...

Not without radical action, and that action needs to happen right now. If your netzero plan time line is in 2050… get it as close to 2040 as possible, if it's 2050+… get it to 2050 if you can. There is absolutely not a single moment to spare.

Being blunt, my expectations of a happy ending and a "look, we collectively did it!", Moment are low. But I still have hope. With out radical action now... We are goosed.

It is up to each individual to take individual action, and to push for collective action, as hard as possible.

We need a new system of governance that address all of these ideas in a more proactive way.

you may have heard about all the hundreds of billions of dollars the Biden administration is investing to address climate change and ignoring climate change action is just as unhelpful as ignoring climate change. If Americans don’t pull their heads out and support this president and all he is doing, reublicans will win next year and permanently kill democracy and the earth. Because their bible demands it.
Biden is doing all the things you mention and more.

capitalism will not allow for any of this. Only a working people’s revolution will enable us to save our planet.

that’s an excellent infographic! Hard to communicate so much so efficiently.

It must be remembered severe fresh water scarcity will emerge in 7 years. Most harshly in N Africa, but Europe is facing severe Winter drought this year meaning the water shortage issues in Summer will return with a vengeance.

S America is also extremely dry. Their crops are bad this year.
