    The final deadline is 2040. It means steady decarbonization between now and then, not “do nothing, then suddenly switch”

      I’m sure governments will treat this with as much urgency as they’ve been the past 2 decades or so. Whatever they’re planning, it’s not happening fast enough and with the biggest offenders not even approaching the table to discuss a solution, I’m not optimistic 2040 is feasible.

        It might be, but i don’t think this bill lncludes revoking the corporate charter of Shell, Exon, and BP so the govemrnt can put thier assets into a nationalised non profit trust for as long as it takes to dismantle oil demand. Anything short of that, and well a few hundred billion dollars of lobbying can go a long way to making things non urgent.
