On our current trajectory, the report warns, "planetary and human systems [are] reaching a 'point of no return' by mid-century, in which the prospect of a largely uninhabitable Earth leads to the breakdown of nations and the international order."

The only way to avoid the risks of this scenario is what the report describes as "akin in scale to the World War II emergency mobilization"—but this time focused on rapidly building out a zero-emissions industrial system to set in train the restoration of a safe climate.

    You may have been modded troll because that video is unavailable.

      Runaway was probably modded "Troll" because most of his posts qualify for that moderation.

        Which is a pretty blatant misuse of mod points.

        So it's an ad hominem moderation. Classy.

          Trust me, they all are. That's what the "moderation" is for. It's about who gets banned and, who doesn't. Enough bad, or "Down modes" and somebody can't tweet anymore. Look at Profile of Cocaine Overdose. That's right, there was somebody that had Cocaine Overdose as his (Fake) Name. And so many folks were very jealous because they couldn't afford a Coke habit. Many Down modes until he got the "comment posting has temporarily been disabled." Temporarily as in, he hasn't tweeted in over a year. Sad!!!!

        Dunno. Could be, I'm not in the US. Just gives the name and says "This video is unavailable".
        Somebody really doesn't like you though, they modded my post troll as well, just for getting yours modded back up. lol.
