Thank you, Scott, for this important article! It motivated me to design a potential viral campaign. Here is the draft script, what do you think?

The Curve 26

[Chart: pledges vs. actual emissions — the gap]

Every line going down was a promise. The line going up is real.

Open claude.ai or another AI chat. Paste this: “I want to help close the gap between climate pledges and actual emissions. Given my situation [job, location, special skills, hobbies, talents, influence and limitations], give me a ranked, evidence-based list of up to 26 high-leverage actions toward this (political action weighted higher than individual consumption according to scientific evidence) adjusted up for anything where my specific skills or platform give me unusual reach. State confidence levels.”

Get your list. Act on one from your top 5 actions today. If you're fired up, act on the whole list by the end of 2026. And tell us about it!
