100 years old and subtly updated for the war that we're facing now. Do you remember the 8th of October 2018 ? That was the day when the world's newspapers carried stories about the IPCC's latest report on everyone, or at least everyone's children and grandchildren. Our generation will be held accountable for what we did or did not do. Do you also remember the 9th of October 2018 ? That's the day when nothing out of the ordinary happened. Everyone carried on as usual, doing what they usually did, continuing to cause the problem that they'd been warned about one day before. It's been much the same every day since. Perhaps our grandchildren aren't important after all ? 2018: We're on course for the highest CO2 emissions ever in one year, growing by 2.7% in a year fossil fuels. Support renewables but the most important thing is to reduce fossil fuel use. Last week we learnt that rather than emissions dropping, as they must, they have actually continued to rise. Why ? Because we're rate. Climate change is not being tackled and we have very little time left to reverse the course that we're on. Starting in 2019 we need to reduce our emissions by 18% a year in order to achieve zero emissions in 2050. Each year that we take no If we start in 2019 then we need to reduce our emissions by 18% every single year from then onwards. We could have made this easier for ourselves by starting years ago when we already knew there was a problem, but we did not. The generations before us did nothing, my generation has done nothing and those younger than myself also are mostly doing nothing. We have all let our grandchildren down. Humans are making the world on which they live uninhabitable for their own species because we are lazy and greedy. We think we can consume ever more of everything forever, but we cannot. We have already created climate changing effects which have changed the lives on millions of people and these effects will become more serious unless we reduce our emissions to zero by 2050, which is what we need to do
