The composite case

Fossil carbon at planetary atmospheric resolution. No jurisdiction or company named.

Provenance. The coupling commitments were issued when the long-timescale propagation was partly characterised. Later it was substantially characterised. Continuing the same pattern after the reading was complete is where provenance fails.

Propagation. Carbon load at rates the atmosphere cannot absorb without contraction, at many resolutions at once. Thermal. Hydrological. Biological. Demographic. Economic. Each with its own threshold.

Suppression. The cost was excluded from the accounts and loaded onto everyone downstream. That exclusion is where the institution’s reading became parasitic.

Compressed audit. The system state now changing at rates the institution registers as accelerating. Ice. Temperature. Rainfall. Collapse.

The slope. The burden lands on those who did not produce it and have the thinnest buffer to absorb it. Exposed regions. Exposed agriculture. Low coasts. Future operators.

Two corrections, independent. At the harm-doing architectures, through the hierarchy. And at the slope — the distribution of cost onto those who did not cause it. Environmental injustice, in this reading, is slope failure at substrate scale. The structure does not borrow the vocabulary. It reads the slope.
