The climate has tipping points—the collapse of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets and the Himalayan glaciers, the deterioration of Atlantic Ocean currents, the melting of the permafrost, the transition of the Amazon from rain forest to savannah. This fantastic piece hits bone deep at the bizarre disconnect between cheery optimism from folks in climate world in the US and the fact that so little has actually changed.

This article is good, but I think the solutions we need are myriad. We need to move away from our obsession with growth, yes, but we also need innovation, and a lot of it, if we're going to have any hope. And this piece is a dark and necessary reminder that climate actions currently planned are still *nowhere near* enough to avoid planetary catastrophe. Our only chance for survival is radical, profound, far-reaching, systemic change.
