It’s a reasonable take if you’re aware of the 12-year mark outlined in the 2018 UN “Special Report on G****l w*****g of 1.5ºC,” released in October. It mentions the year 2030 — 12 years from now — as the point of no return, if we keep on our current path. It’s mentioned 35 times in the report in varying applications.
