In 1897 the Indiana General Assembly attempted to setg the value of pi at 3.0. This would make a lot of things easier, including squaring the circle.
The attempt came to mind as the U.N. c limate conference debated whether to change the goal of climate policy from a 1.5 degree Celsius increase to something more easily attainable, say 2.0, or – back again - 3.0.
Time for some straight talk from the climate wizards. Tell us clearly and unequivocally, what to expect if we can stop warming at 1.5 and what is likely to happen to us (if we are still around) when we reach 3.0. Don’t try to square the circle; “Just the facts, ma’m, just the facts.”.
