"Continuing to say publicly 1.5°C is still alive is no longer defensible, yet politicians, leading academics and the environmental movement persist in doing so. In response, polluting industries and policymakers are inadvertently being encouraged to resist rapid decarbonization."

Since the 1.5°C limit was set I have seen unprecedented action. As far as I know we did not have Extinction Rebellion before.

So I wonder where the claim comes from that the new limit encourages more resistance. 2/2

Ah, here it is!
I'm not sure what you mean by "unprecedented action", I've seen no major changes except covid in CO2 emissions curves since 2010-2011 (I.e. post 2008-crisis).

As for XR... Well sure, XR is far from the alpha and omega of environmental action and lobbying ;)
Some civil disobedience and more general activist groups have existed for decades and most are older than XR ;)

I think what is meant is that if we say 1.5 is still on, then what we're doing now is OK, so BAU
