Humans make radical decisions once they understand and “see” the morbidity of risk ….
The Risk of Astra Zeneka 0.00004% is a risk of dying from a blood clot - On the strength of that risk, the UK discontinued AstraZeneca for under-40s and the Australian medical authorities have warned against it, and people are shunning it in droves and waiting for Pfizer.
Risk of destroying the planet 🌎 by 2050 due to climate change - is it 1% 10% ?
Time to hit the panic button methinks!
As Alan Kohler says “net zero emissions by 2050 is not it”
The risk of global warming
It’s currently happenning with fires in NSw and California and Floods in Germany (case in points!)
In current trajectories - there is a two-thirds risk of it being 2 degrees instead of 1.5, because of feedback loops caused by more carbon dioxide being released by the warming that has occurred.
Current policies, unchanged, would result in 2.4 degrees of warming, which would be terrible, but there would be a high risk (about 67 per cent) of 3 degrees, which would be catastrophic.
Kohler says that
“ life would change more completely than it has during the pandemic.
In short, it would look like war.”
I agree with him!
What do we need to do as C level executives and decision makers to make that change?
