Old approaches to new problems generally fail… the world is failing the requisite variety test on this one.

Consider some of the other points of the document, ostensibly included to show the extent to which the world’s industrial capacity needs to be reorganized to address the crisis. These include:

• Accelerating efforts towards the phase-down of unabated coal power
• Accelerating zero- and low-emission technologies
• Accelerating and substantially reducing non-carbon-dioxide emissions globally, including in particular methane emissions by 2030

Even the bourgeois media has been forced to question what “accelerating” towards these goals means. What metrics are to be used to determine if efforts are being successful? How are “unabated” and “substantially” defined?
