Australian scientists found unequal impact of the climate crisis would not be reversed even if implicit goal of the 2015 Paris agreement is achieved

A fortnight ago, I posted a blog post about the risk of mass deaths given the #metoffice predictions for summer temperatures mid-century; but then I noticed I'd made a significant mistake, and rolled it back.
I've now revised it. It's not quite as bleak as it was. It's pretty bleak.

The 'everyone dies' event comes home
On 23^rd June, the Meteorological Office published a [blog post](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/uk-could-see-45c-by-2056-scientists-reflect-on-1976-heatwave-anniversary) in which they claimed that 'UK could see 45°C by 2056'. As you'll know, I've blogged before of the issue of [excessive heat events](https://www.journeyman.cc/blog/posts-output/2021-11-15-the-everyone-dies-event-class/) in our changing climate. So the fact that they projected temperatures above 35° Celsius wi…

"Proposed mechanisms for delivering action like citizens’ assemblies are a response to the sluggishness of existing institutions, but do not address its cause — the power of the capitalist class.
