The line humanity spent three decades racing toward is now in the rearview mirror. Scientists call what comes next the overshoot age — and it demands a completely different conversation.In this episode, hosts Michelle Bruecher and Scott Bleakley explore:Why "exceed and decline" has replaced the old single-target paradigm — and why the path down is fundamentally different from the path upThe irreversibility problem: why cooling a graveyard isn't the same as preventing oneSix roadblocks to corporate net zero, drawn from practitioners who've deployed over a billion dollars in climate capital — including the SBTI's delisting of $4 trillion in companies and the Scope 3 accounting crisisWhy the carbon removal industry — the declared safety net for the decline phase — is going broke in a free market that refuses to pay for an averted crisisThe BECCS land use paradox: the most widely modeled carbon removal solution requires land the size of India, almost certainly overlapping indigenous territories in the Global SouthReferences:Climate u-turn? What happens if we exceed 1.5°C and then go backImplications of overshoot for climate mitigation strategiesLiving in the overshoot ageThe hard road back from overshootThis is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets EmpathyIndependent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter.  Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
