Prof Hugh Montgomery is not the only expert with that perspective regarding civilisation collapse scaring him for his own life – at the age of 63. Rahmstorf also used to often say "If you're younger than 70 and want to have a peaceful last leg you should become a climate activist now." Slashing emissions rapidly is paramount. But in my opinion, so is a U-turn in national, regional and global social politics. We need to keep all regions stable-ish until at least the world has accomplished geological CO2zero. Stable-ish is impossible with current widespread politics of national and international sadism and egotism, with the Neoliberal obsessions with efficiency=cheap, the obsession with incrementalism, the obsession with lean state, and so on. We're at the brink of civilisation collapse. Thanks to neoliberalism and the #EconObscene. Avoiding collapse requires different concepts than the ones that got us here.
