"Ian Dunlop worries about his grandchildren. He worries time is running out.

"We run the risk within the next probably five to 10 years, that we may
trigger irreversible tipping points in the climate system," he says.

He used to be a fossil fuel industry executive. Now he advocates for
action on climate change.

Global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius in the next 20 years or so is
essentially baked in, according to the UN's climate body — and Ian fears
it won't stop there."
