IGNITE: Your business isn’t Green enough
summary
Current emissions and offsets aren’t enough: to have a ~50% chance of staying under 1.5°C the world must stop burning fossil fuels by 2030, yet emissions plans miss that deadline. 2023 breaks temperature and fire records, sea level rises about 20 cm since 1900 (half in the last 40 years), and India bans rice exports amid failing harvests. Corporate offsets and trading schemes mostly postpone action while some oil firms still plan roughly $25B more investment in fossil extraction. Practical moves: refuse fossil contracts, give paid time for activism, and fund frontline communities.
