1.5-2°C policies could see lifestyle/health/job-security/affordability improvements for most, but only thro’ a massive shift of labour/resources from furnishing the relative luxuries of us fortunate few to decarbonising energy/infrastructure.

What was the CO2 when you were born?
The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
That CO2 calculator only allows birth dates back to 1958!!
For those of us older than that, use this one.
For me it was 311.9 ppm.
310.7 for me…
Yes, 310ppm for me to.
310.1ppm for me too.
Meanwhile Earth's ave temp continues to increase month on month!
For me, it was 310.1ppm. Scary …
The present government wouldn't even know what it was.

Mod note
The photo doesn’t seem to make sense in the context of the post??
ppm is the measure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Earth was safe at 350. The ppms above each person is when they were born.
I don't take much interest in the royals, but the ppm figures shown don't seem correct. Supposing the short fella on the left is the youngest, surely his ppm should be greater than for his taller sister, not less as is shown. Also, the figure for the boy at the back should surely be much closer to his sister's then his mother's, not equally spaced between them.
Being a pedant I went to wikipedia and then to the CO2 calculator.
The figures should be:
mum 341 ppm
eldest son 398 ppm
daughter 404 ppm
youngest son 410 ppm
I may have the two boys mixed up. Which is the oldest and which is the youngest?
George – oldest son.
Charlotte – daughter
Louis – younger son.
I meant in the photo. Is Louis on the left?
George at the back.
Louis on the left-hand side.
Chilling (bleak) for those raising children, in addition to more immediate challenges.
310.1 for me.
We assume that refers to CO2 on earth, not the moon.
My own was 319
We can't afford the rich.
