We might presume this has something to do with this year's global economic upheavals, but the problem is that the #environment doesn't work to a political economic schedule.
With #Cop28 shaping up as likely to give the #business sector a pretty easy ride, the global business sector's already week moves towards #netzero look like they'll weaken further!
Have we though? Typically I taken that saying to mean we've made some good process but all the easy work was done first. (albiet I typically use low and not long, as in I'd "pluck" that before getting to the harder stuff)
But we haven't made any progress have we ? We haven't even even really retatrded emissions growth. We can see this by examining the Keeling Curve. Everythibg we're doing is wrong and yet some still think if we jist keep doing the same thing the same way, we'll get a different result.
"I used to think the top global environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address these problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation, and we scientists don't know how to do that." - James Gustave Speth
