thanks for the invite. it is great to have you in this studio. let s start with a blunt first question. is it time for the international community to junk this idea that there s any possibility of limiting worldwide temperature rise to below the 1.5 degrees celsius? when we produced our landmark report five years ago, we said it was possible within the laws of physics and chemistry, and the biggest obstacle to keeping within the limit was actually on the social and institutional side. we, i think, now need to move to the position, we have to look very hard at whether we will be pushing against technical and economic barriers in terms of limiting warming to1.5. it is not absolutely impossible, but the chances are diminishing. and, really, it s hanging on a thread at the moment. right. isn t that a tactful way of saying, i m not in a position to be conclusive about this, but as far as i m concerned, as an experienced scientist, it is simply not going to happen ? the average
laura: hi, everybody, i m laura ingraham this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. thank you for being with us. project brainwash that s the focus of tonight s angle. don t be afraid. no, be afraid. be very afraid. laura: well, fear is a powerful emotion. now, sometimes fear is good because it spurs us to the right action like we take cover in a storm or we fight back if attacked. but, lately, we have seen politicians use fear as a powerful weapon of coercion and control. get the shot or you are going to get covid and die, wear a mask or you could be on a ventilator. now, these control freaks used a combination of threats and fear to get people they hope to change their behavior. and this requires relentlessly pounding home a simple message. the climate crisis is a threat to us as a species and this planet. laura: they have gone from global warming to climate change to kamala s climate crisis. now, greta van susteren must beo confused. i have heard you

prime minister rishi sunak has been giving evidence to the covid inquiry here in london today. critics suggest that his eat out to help out the policy under which the government subsidised meals led to an increase in infections. early evidence at the inquiry suggested that health officials hadn t been consulted about that because the milk scheme, but rishi insisted milk scheme, but rishiinsisted insisted that the chief scientific and medical advisers did not object when the scheme was announced. rishi and a chance at the time back in 2020 claim his actions had protected millions ofjobs hospitality sector. my primary concern was protecting millions ofjobs of particularly vulnerable people who worked in this industry. all the data, all the evidence, all the polling, all the input from those companies suggested that unless we did something, many of those jobs would have been at risk with devastating consequences for those people and their families. and that s my independent thin
a recent poll of international climate scientists pointed to growing despair. are we humans bungling our chance to avert disaster? jim skea, welcome to hardtalk. thanks for the invite. it is great to have you in this studio. let s start with a blunt first question. is it time for the international community to junk this idea that there s any possibility of limiting worldwide temperature rise to below the 1.5 degrees celsius? when we produced our landmark report five years ago, we said it was possible within the laws of physics and chemistry, and the biggest obstacle to keeping within the limit was actually on the social and institutional side. we, i think, now need to move to the position, we have to look very hard at whether we will be pushing against technical and economic barriers in terms of limiting warming to1.5. it is not absolutely impossible, but the chances are diminishing. and, really, it s hanging on a thread at the moment. right. isn t that a tactful way of sayin
