“Over the past two decades, emissions of greenhouse gases for each unit of global gross domestic product (GDP) decreased only by a measly 1.5% per year. To keep the climate just about safe and stable, as it has been for the ten thousand years of human civilisation so far, the countries of the world have agreed to try to limit the increase in global temperatures to below 1.5 C. That requires a reduction in global emissions per unit of GDP of around 8% per year over the course of the next decade. In other words, we need to rip fossil burning out of the global economy roughly five times faster this decade than we managed over the past two decades.” ~ Simon Sharpe, Five Times Faster
