Here's some coverage from the original paper www.spglobal.com/marketintell...

We were just talking about this! One of my colleagues wrote a paper a while back finding that we have enough recycled gold for medical & other needs and advocating that we stop mining. We were wondering if a rebuttal to this video was in order... Would you be interested to chat?

Analysis | The UK Isn’t Ready for the Heat That’s Coming We need to start adapting to the world that lies beyond 1.5C. That means putting sustainable cooling on the agenda.

Recent Oxford research finds UK will see one of the world's biggest relative jumps in temperature as we pass 1.5 degrees warming

And it's 24 degrees in London this weekend - blistering for UK summer, never mind October

This is funny every time.

This working paper looks at energy resources rather than timelines. But some of the authors recently modeled the costs of the energy transition & found the faster we go, the more we save ($12 trillion). So I think they'd agree that faster is better! www.smithschool.ox.ac.uk/news/decarbo...
