Chapter 2 - Urgency and emissions.
Read by Rachael Haynes.
Rachael is a 6x world championship Australian cricketer, and vice-captain of the Australian cricket team.
Chapter 2 will be brutally honest about our emissions situation, locally and globally, and why action needs to be much faster than you have been led to believe. Science implies we cannot beat 1.5°C of warming unless we move faster than the free market. In a bar fight between science and the free market, the free market might win, but science will still have been right. It is delusional to think we can get this done on time without designing and influencing the market with incentives, mandates, rebates and subsidies for the solutions that science shows are right.
