37° heat is depressing.

"The main question I ask people is whether they are willing to live within the planetary boundaries"
Great way to frame it! Aside from being horrified at Denmark's early date in the Country Overshoot statistics, I've never asked myself that question in that way, specifically examining my individual overshoot. I'm an 'almost' everything: 'almost' never fly, except for family matters; 'almost' don't eat meat, expect for chicken once a week, etc. I must think about my own Overshoot stats.
@CiaraNi I'm an almost everything too. As for food, the medical journal The Lancet published a great report with how to eat within the planetary boundaries, its called Planetary Health Diet. And it is very much a "sometimes" diet!

Have you heard https://domino-effekten.dk/ (in danish)
And a question, who defines planetary boundaries?
I agree with you, but a little concerned about who defines the rules.
@alf149 We define how much suffering we are willing to live with. I assume you've heard of the boundaries 1,5 degrees and so on. That's planetary boundaries. See here e.g. "This budget results in approximately 0.95 tCO2 per capita when given a population of 7.3 billion." Tian, P., Zhong, H., Chen, X., Feng, K., Sun, L., Zhang, N., ... & Hubacek, K. (2024). Keeping the global consumption within the planetary boundaries. Nature, 635(8039), 625-630. @CiaraNi

"Planetary Health Diet. And it is very much a "sometimes" diet!"
That's really encouraging! I've been conscious of the fact that (except for never driving), I've done nothing fully and all-out. Like, I'm not vegan. I've only 'almost' changed different behaviours. It's good to know even the experts see value in 'sometimes' and 'almost' in a climate-change context.

@CiaraNi I think its really the way to go on most things in this issue! It solves a lot of problems. Proportions is what matters in these boundaries. One challenge then is that proportions at this scale are difficult to understand for the human mind. With "sometimes", you have to be very specific for it to not become a false story you tell yourself.

Yes, absolutely.

Det er
https://www.klimajournalisterne.dk/
der har lavet den og jeg synes også den er god. Har forsøgt at promovere den, men det er jo et arbejde i sig selv.De har også lavet "Det vi burde tale om" som også er en anbefaling værd (den er nævnt på deres side)
