I am thankful for the scientists. Knowing how the architecture/engineering/construction and real estate industry contributes to emissions, I hope we can find motivation in this latest report. It's one thing to be wistful that society had listened -- and acted -- when the scientists first spoke up about the impacts of GHGs and warming, nearly 50 years ago. But as we head into 2020, let's be sure that in 10 years we can say we heard and acted. We have an opportunity to create a clean energy economy with jobs and equity. We know how to design net zero carbon buildings and communities and regions; the opportunity for the AEC/RE community is immense. It is time for our species to turn its cleverness toward this existential threat with purpose and urgency. https://lnkd.in/g_9kxnh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://lnkd.in/g_9kxnh
