Oil execs: ok but what if we go for 5 degrees?

Remember a lot of this was either known or predictable decades ago. Whoever was taking decisions since 1990s did take them aware that they're sentencing half of the global south to this kind of heat. I'm not a conspiracy nut but it's getting harder and harder to believe it's all just "greed and nothing else, not at all a racist genocidal plot".
