Tend to follow climate-related news closely. But even then: eyebrows raised.

Heh.. Maybe in future we'll see wars being fought not over access to fossil fuels, but over attempts to stop other countries from pumping more fossils out of the ground.

"What the planet is going to experience over the next 12 months is just a preview of the movie that’s coming. Godzilla is going to return, and return, and return and return … and as bad as the movie gets, we won’t be able to walk out of the theater."

That's the scary bit: no escape hatch. We're all in this together.

That's why international co-operation on climate change should NOT be opt-in. Your countries' freedom to emit greenhouse gasses ends where my countries' (future) safety is at stake.

Technically, could be negated if enough people who are projected to consume above a certain amount over the course of their lifetimes are killed.

		In that case you can just throw in a couple of nukes. If you choose the location and the yield just right, you can also buy a few years of cooling.
