Not gonna lie... It scared me when they mentioned that we only have 2025-2031 to properly reduce emissions and save at least half of humanity.

Also, it was interesting how they mentioned the fossil fuel tactics that are similar to the cigarette industry on distorting data.

Is it true that we have so little time left?

It's mostly right. Idk if the predictions are true, but the situation is dire. Most people know this, they have just not mentally accepted it fully, and do not know what to do about it. Their legal solution is futile and not nearly sufficient for the reality. If you want a reasonable depiction of the reality and what it takes to save it I recommend Socialism or Extinction. If everyone understood the ideas presented in the book we'd have a better chance of actually doing something.

Thanks for the book recommendation!
