Two visions for the climate in 2050

From: https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-future-f8d16c5b-adda-4d69-9421-ebbc7f252fd4.html?chunk=3&utm_term=twsocialshare#story3%20#axiosfuture

Two architects of the Paris Agreement are presenting a pair of possible scenarios for the Earth's climate in 2050 — one in which we've met the carbon reduction targets laid out in the agreement, and one in which we've failed.

• The authors argue we have a decade left to pick which path the planet will take: catastrophe or hope.

Background: Former UN climate chief Christiana Figueres and climate diplomat Tom Rivett-Carnac were instrumental in guiding the Paris climate accord, which committed countries to reducing carbon emissions sufficiently to keep global temperature rise below at least 2° C by 2100.

What's new: In their book published yesterday, "The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis," the pair sketch out what the climate could look like by mid-century, depending on whether we meet the Paris goals.

• If we succeed, they foresee a world where forests cover half the land surface, air pollution has disappeared and fossil fuels have been eliminated.
• If we fail, warming will be on a pace for a 3°C increase by 2050, the air will become unbreathable and the very future of human civilization will be in doubt.

What they're saying: "If we continue where we are now, we are going to be irreparably going down a course of constant destruction," Figueres told The Guardian. Altering that path will require sharp technological and political change, especially in the United States.

The bottom line: The choices made in 2020 will help decide the climate in 2050.

Reports of Huge Reductions in This Potent Greenhouse Gas Are Wrong – Emissions Are Soaring

Ugh. Getting a handle on climate change isn't going to be easy with players like this:

"Scientists are concerned, because HFC-23 is a very potent greenhouse gas, with one ton of its emissions being equivalent to the release of more than 12,000 tons of carbon dioxide."

The Big Roadblock For Bernie Sanders’ Agenda

As I see it, Bernie's biggest liabilities are that he's really old and he has embraced the mantle of democratic socialist when he is actually a social democrat (there is a big difference, not to mention that only 47% of Americans say they would vote for a socialist: https://news.gallup.com/poll/254120/less-half-vote-socialist-president.aspx).
