Thanks for the conversation, @jonstewart. Let’s keep the relationship strong.

Here's the thing. Our world will heat up, and the climate break down, until after we phase out fossil fuels and create an effective zero-emissions economy. If we give up on that fight when we cross 1.5, or any target, we give up on saving whatever will be left. Never give up.

Climate anxiety is keeping people awake at night and even affecting their ability to function, writes @BrittWray. In one survey, half said humanity is doomed. Check out this piece on what doctors and medical schools can do to help. ow.ly/9ivA50Ukbls
