    We’re cooked or gonna be. Given we’re still full swing energy craving, reversing the inertia of this massive shift isn’t gonna happen in a lifetime

      Depends whose lifetime. Mine, maybe not, but for my children - yes. Also depends what indicator - global CO2 emissions maybe falling this year, but temperature will lag decades, sea-level even more (btw I do model these scenarios, so know well how they diverge ).
