Experts warn that current political-economic systems offer no viable paths to limit global warming below 1.9°C, with projections indicating dire consequences between 1.8 and 2°C by 2035-2064. The UN urges the World Bank and G20 nations to take urgent, unified action to avert climate crisis before it 'decimates' economies.

Between 1.8 and 2°C of dire global warming or much more will obviously occur by 2035- 2064 even with the most ambitious and unlikely emissions reductions this economic system can possibly offer. Enough of the bullshit from corporate and establishment scientists and journalists.🧵
"there still are viable paths to limit warming to below 2C this century" Unfortunately in reality we now know there are no viable paths to avoid 1.9°C and rising given today's political-economic set up. Even the most radical emissions cuts offered by today's system lead to >1.9C. https://t.co/vKig2tTXqG
