What will it take to convince the world to take climate change seriously? There is no straight answer, and in any case it depends on who is meant by “the world”. For the sake of argument, let’s say: governments and businesses, in a measure great enough to reduce carbon emissions and meet the Paris agreement goals. With those assumptions it is fair to say that the question is still relevant. Human societies are pumping out ever-increasing volumes of greenhouse gases and there is a non-negligible chance that temperatures will rise by far more than was agreed at the 2015 UN Paris summit.
