Yepp, nothing to worry about here.

It feels like governments have just seen this as a foregone conclusion and are trying to position in an "every person for themselves" kind of deal. Sure, we've finally done something to cut emissions, but it's the slowest possible move they can make.

I have thought about this for a while now. it just seems that some countries have gamed this out and decided... "sure, 'we' all might die, but you're gonna die first - so screw you!"

the maxim of "he who dies richest, wins" seems to be the only ideal at play here.
