Jammer voor Timmermans en Samsom, maar nu de meest extreme klimaatscenario’s dood zijn verklaard, is ook het fundament van de Green Deal verdwenen

The removal of the most severe warming scenarios from the IPCC's latest assessments undermines the scientific basis upon which certain climate policies were established. The urgency and scale of proposed actions, such as those within the Green Deal, were often justified by these extreme projections.
Consequently, the foundation of policies like the Green Deal, which relied heavily on these dire climate predictions, is now in question. This shift may lead to a re-examination of existing climate strategies and the targets they aim to achieve, potentially altering the trajectory of climate action.
The implications of these revised scenarios extend to political figures and their climate agendas, suggesting a need for adaptation in policy-making to align with the updated scientific understanding.
