The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned this week that the Earth is “firmly on track toward an unlivable world,” saying that unless dramatic and radical action takes place in the next few years, it is next to impossible to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and makes even 2 degrees warming unlikely. The IPCC said they have “high confidence” that unless countries make radical cuts in fossil fuel emissions, the planet will on average be 2.4C to 3.5C (4.3 to 6.3F) warmer by the end of the century — “a level experts say is sure to cause severe impacts for much of the world’s population.”

As we record today’s show, SpaceX is launching the first fully private mission to the ISS. The four person, all-male crew is part of Axiom Space’s Ax-1 mission. Axiom Space seeks to make “living and working in space, commonplace.”
From Gizmodo: “Axiom describes Ax-1 as a “precursor” private astronaut mission. It’s the first of four proposed missions, all of which are stepping stones for the company as it looks ahead to the construction of its private orbital outpost, dubbed Axiom Station. Construction of the station is scheduled to begin in 2024; a succession of modules will be incrementally added to the Harmony node of the ISS.”
