This is the first time since humans have existed that there has been this much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and it is well beyond the safe limit.
Should the climate movement call for the restoration of a safe climate, rather than just zero emissions?
According to a recent paper, Striking Targets, by climate writer Philip Sutton, greenhouse gas concentrations are already too high to avoid dangerous global warming, so the zero emissions goal is inadequate.
