European researchers said Thursday that the the start of June saw global surface air temperatures rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for the first time. That is the limit governments said they would try to limit global warming to at a 2015 summit in Paris.

    I agree with this sentiment, while I cannot control what others do I can make changes in the capacity that I am able. I also think that change drives markets, dairy alternative milks are a great example of this. So while our efforts may be small in comparison to the ones that others with more could make, it doesn’t make them meaningless and better yet acts as an example to those who are unsure or sitting on the fence.

    I also think we may have reached a point where it’s just too late to debate what the best action is and it would be better to try and do something with the view to this being an emergency.
