And it&#x27;s going to get much worse.<p>According to the IPCC report[0], we&#x27;re overshooting the 1.5°C target by another 1.5°C. That is; if we&#x27;re careful and immediately take action. Which it doesn&#x27;t look like. Instead of hitting 1.5°C by the end of the century, we&#x27;ll be very likely hitting it in the next thirty years. Nice!<p>I wonder how much more it will take to finally shake up policy makers. We&#x27;re walking with open eyes into a calamity of unprecedented proportions and everyone is partying.<p>The worst thing about all this; the rich and developed nations are the ones are best positioned to mitigate the damage. But even a country like Switzerland, one of the wealthiest country of the world, is shirking its responsibilities[1].<p>To be fair; Switzerland is probably one of the countries best positioned to survive the oncoming onslaught[2]. But if even the richest people in the world don&#x27;t see a need to chip in; how much hope is there really?<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ipcc.ch&#x2F;assessment-report&#x2F;ar6&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ipcc.ch&#x2F;assessment-report&#x2F;ar6&#x2F;</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.swissinfo.ch&#x2F;eng&#x2F;business&#x2F;switzerland-votes-on-controversial-co2-law-&#x2F;46695016" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.swissinfo.ch&#x2F;eng&#x2F;business&#x2F;switzerland-votes-on-c...</a><p>[2] The Rhône and Rhine rivers that provide plenty of water, the rocks of Germany, Austria, France and Italy to break the waves of climate refugees.
