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.

I appreciate the link, but I’m sorry, I’m still not getting it.
When I look at the graph on page 19, I see that the blue segments in the bar graph are above zero for the years before 2024, zero on 2024, and then positioned below zero subsequently. I presume this what you’re talking about, but I still don’t understand what it means, or why it’s labeled “Primary Deficit (LHS)”.
