As Trump abandons climate action, we must accept net zero won't happen While markets and media were chasing Donald Trump’s tariff fiasco last week, something far more important was unfolding in East Palestine, Ohio.

The excellent Alan Kohler sums it up perfectly. The French are already planning for 4 degrees rise in global temperature. Anyone living in SouthEast Queensland or northern NSW are going to need to pay close attention to their insurance. IF they can get any.

The terrifying thing is that we're already becoming numb to stories like this. Which are terrifying. It looks like eliminating any sort of criticism has already started for overseas visitors

A gentle reminder: we have failed to enact the single most ambitious, best-case scenario for emissions.

All of the rest remain up for grabs: and we will absolutely 'fail to stop' these as well, if we widely adopt the fatalist framing
