How bad could it get? The answer, I'm afraid, is tremendously bad. For the last few years, there's been a flow of good news about global decarbonization and a sort of cessation of the high-intensity climate politics of Greta Thunberg, Extinction Rebellion, and Sunrise. You could be forgiven for thinking the crisis was over — or perhaps that it had been oversold to begin with. 
But while there has been progress, the latest science says we're staring down some very hairy futures, and that, far from overhyping the challenge of warming, almost certainly we aren't worrying about it enough.
