Analysis warns world faces 'irrevocable overshoot' of temperature limits
This is NOT "just a theory" as the MAGA (Know Nothing) cult will loudly proclaim. This is fact. It is our future. No amount of denial will change that. Only action can save us. The 'open secret' at the IPCC and COP is that the estimates have always been far too conservative. Reality is catching up.
Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)48The IPCC does NOT run its own climate model. Insead, its published estimates are based upon a concensus of scientists representing countries and corporations, many of which are funded by the fossil fuel industry and are paid to downplay climate change. They consistently skew the concensus.
Susanne3It’s not that people behind the MAGA agenda don’t know what’s coming, but rather they want to keep their followers in the dark, to profit as long as possible from fossil fuels, build on their wealth, preparing to move borders to the North to still livable conditions while leaving the rest of us to..
neveratrueword.bsky.social3This is not a drill (or a hoax)!
The Captain3As we see over and over crisis has a real way of spurring us to action. The evidence is becoming overwhelming. There is still time to act. I hope we will find the courage to do so.
Big Dasher Energy3all while Canada has completely abandoned the targets and is speed running opening the arctic to drilling.
AKMA, The Guy From Yesterday2Better build more data centers to come up with a solution 🙄
Based on current policies, we will reach 2.7C in 2100? We have to bin this nonsense 1.5C permanently crossed in 2028, planet heating at 0.4C/decade It is no longer about policies. It is about feedbacks and the Earth's rapidly rising energy imbalance www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Weather Watchers Club4I afraid to say, humanity as we know it is fucked.
polyphren.bsky.social3And it is all about feedback loops, and many of these are irreversible. Have the opinion that one for boreal forest fires is already in play, arctic circle methane release, temp increase and water vapor, et cetera, et cetera. Often think to myself..."What if McPherson is right".....
paulbaumann42.bsky.social3I’d say we have crossed 1.5 C this spring (statistically). And I have severe doubts, it will come back below 1.5 C once the Godzilla El Niño has played out. And the 0.4 C are just the current rate (rather 0.43 C/decade, isn’t it?). This will further accelerate. 3 C 2050 and whatever in 2100.
Climate News3And it’s even accelerating. Current estimates are that 2.0C will be crossed no later than 2037 and could be as early as 2034.
Lee Taylor1We, will hit 2C by 2040. More glaciers will disappear, increasing the rate of warming. More permafrost will melt, releasing CO2, more ice caps will melt, increasing warming, and we will continue cutting down forests, so we can eat endless supplies of chicken and beef
grazor1979.bsky.social1We knew 1.5c was impossible 10 years ago. Targets don’t matter at all we have to do everything now to cut emissions. Like carbon tax, twx meat ban certain flying. Electrify everything. Half defense spending so everyone can get a heat pump and insulate,
Just to balance my rants... the picture editor has done a good job here. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Peter Brommer4Finally not a photo of sunbathers on a British beach.
Ray Alexander2I think the main issue regarding public awareness is that 1.5 was seen as just a number, not a point in which multiple feedback loops would be activated tipping us over the edge. And I fear that "well another 0.5 isn't going to make much of a difference" will follow.
Ola Kwiecien1In our academic skills module we teach students how to use visual aids. Last year we've added 'symbolic figures/ images' in module curricula. Well chosen, they are powerful means of communicating science to the public.
Please @heinrich.senate.gov don't make a deal with the devil today. Pull your name off this disaster. Wait until January!! BAAJA climate benefits are more than overwhelmed by its giveaways to oil/gas. Which then leads to this: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Jonathan Wolfe3Yes, @heinrich.senate.gov please listen to your constituents, the people who have long supported you and believed you actually stood up for the planet and children and our communities. Please don’t betray us all with this abominable #baaja bill!
Roxanne Darling 🍁3When every other member of your state's delegation, the tribal leadership, and the state attorney general oppose your bill, it's past time to rethink your connection to it, @heinrich.senate.gov
