For the longest time, humans barely clung to life on this planet, we experienced shocks to population that drove us down to
bare bones numbers, and come back, but around 11,700 years ago, a cosmic accident occurred, that accident was called the
Holocene, and with it, brought stable temperatures that allowed humans to exist beyond meagre subsistence, this shift in temperature and stabilisation of climate allowed humans to focus on more important things, and we used the excess calories from food to create innovations that allowed us to multiply at a startling rate, advancements like agriculture came about in 7 separate places on the planet within a 150 year time range, given our universe is 14.2 billion years old, this is no coincidence, it is the reality of what happened when temperatures stabilised.
In the past 150 years, we have produced x amount of emissions, this is enough to threaten stable temperatures and entire ecosystems.
This is what we risk, and this is what we need to act on. We already have the solutions available to drive change to safer levels right now, (link to the net zero strategy plan talked about in the QE article) and we know what kind of data is required to start making better decisions.
