Climate emergency explored
Reclaiming “climate emergency:
An emergency mode of response, characterised by decisive state
leadership and market intervention challenges the dominant economic
paradigm and is now necessary to protect contemporary civilisation.
Climate emergency defined: What is a climate emergency and does the evidence justify one?
Victory plan:
How the U.S. could eliminate net greenhouse gas emissions at wartime
speed, contribute to a global effort to restore a safe climate, and
reverse ecological overshoot
