No, COP28 will not enable us to hold the 1.5°C limit, but yes, the result is a pivotal land-mark. It makes clear to finance, business and societies that we are now finally - 8 years behind Paris schedule - at the beginning of the end of the fossil-fuel driven world economy (1/4).

When it comes to air pollution's impact on human health, yeah - it's generally much, much worse than you think.
In Opinion
“Air pollution is a lot deadlier than we previously understood,” writes Binyamin Appelbaum. And studies show “that the concentrations of air pollution currently permitted by federal policy are still far too high.” nyti.ms/3uYs1xu

I've got a commentary out today in @OneEarth_CP on 3 ways to reduce the inequitable health & financial burdens of climate change:

On the cusp of winter, under the pollution
of a hunter’s moon, I see, for once, no bird,
but a cross; no wing but a brace to bear
what must be borne.

When choosing a research advisor, it's tempting to think about the best day of your career but more important to think about the worst day of your life.
When your experiments fail, a paper is rejected, and you have a family emergency, who do you want as your advisor on that day?
