"In only three years there will be enough fossil fuel-burning
stuff—cars, homes, factories, power plants, etc.—built to blow through
our carbon budget for a 2 degrees Celsius temperature rise. Never mind
staying below a safer, saner 1.5°C of global warming. The relentless
laws of physics have given us a hard, non-negotiable deadline, making G7
statements about a fossil fuel-phase out by 2100 or a weak deal at the
UN climate talks in Paris irrelevant."
What are we committing to when we build new things? We need to account
for the polllution and disposal costs of everything we make.
