New planetary scale thinking and processes for the politics of energy production and consumption are the end to which the global community aspires.

A lowering of the ever escalating threshold tolerance for anthropogenic influenced rises in greenhouse gases is the priority the earth requires. 

Atmospheric CO2 beyond ~400 parts per million disrupts natural checks and balances such that catastrophic consequences may be impossible to prevent. 

Claims more study is necessary before too expensive resolving efforts only mean we rush towards dire outcomes at disastrous future cost for every dollar not currently spent. 

The past decade has seen the hottest years recorded beyond preindustrial times. At almost +1.5C consequent accelerator negative feedback loops as follows include:

Amplifying ice-albedo loops, water vapour loops, permafrost warming loops, ocean warming and acidification loops. You can now see them in the daily news.

Variable monsoons, extreme weather, flora and fauna migrations, severe drought, flood and bushfire, extinctions and coastal losses have already begun. 

Yet still self interest and denial dominate the necessary scale of decision-making on behalf of every species under the sun. 

Acting local is good, but no longer anywhere near good enough. Global solutions are needed that are necessarily wise and tough.

Only constructive planet wide climate and energy action can save us here and now on the cusp.
