"It is currently unsustainable"

I mean, I don't have much interest in talking to those people, to be honest, but I would say that those people who are making that point should look at just how many quote-unquote outlier events have happened within my lifetime.

And every year, at all points in the year, we have record-breaking weather events in various categories, so...

Liveline
"It is currently unsustainable"

I think it is something that is at this point.

Liveline
"It is currently unsustainable"

going to be impacting all of us in our daily lives, not only the direct impact of climate change, but also the impact of what we're going to have to start doing in order to change, you know, our entire system, the way that it works, because it is currently unsustainable.
