"World’s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target" - Guardian survey of IPCC

[HARRIS, Paul [SSPS]]

Dear GEP-Ed colleagues,

If you haven't seen them already, I encourage you to take a look at articles in today's Guardian on a major survey of hundreds of IPCC members:

World’s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2024/may/08/hopeless-and-broken-why-the-worlds-top-climate-scientists-are-in-despair

Like many of you, I've tried to explain why this is happening, including in my book, Pathologies of Climate Governance. 

Kind regards,

NOTICE: Hong Kong's 'national security' and 'Article 23' laws are in effect globally. Anyone suspected of violating these laws anywhere in the world is subject to arrest and imprisonment in Hong Kong without the right to bail or trial by jury. Many people have been arrested under the 'national security' law, while others have been arrested under colonial-era subversion laws. The conviction rate is 100%. Statements and actions that are commonplace and protected by law in other countries and were once legal in Hong Kong are now unlawful here. Do not send any messages to me that express any views regarding Chinese sovereignty or control over any territory, or that could even remotely be considered to be subversive of the Chinese or Hong Kong governments. Bear in mind that artwork, literature, parodies, cartoons, songs, melodies, t-shirts and much more have been deemed to be subversive by the Hong Kong government. If in doubt about whether your message could violate the law, do not send it to me.
