Climate science is now moving away from the most extreme scenarios. The Honest Broker explains why on our podcast: "Our expectation for future emissions has come down dramatically, largely because there was an assumption everything was going to go towards coal...

"When a woman is put into an arranged marriage, leaves her village, ... is dominated by her mother-in-law, has no friends, no way of escaping, that leads to a lot of suicides."
