The 1.5-degree climate goal may be ‘deader than a doornail,’ and scientists are bitterly divided over it

That goal is as dead as Henry Kissinger.
– The goal is deader than the dinosaurs we fill our cars with.
– The goal is deader than the animals we exploit to ruin the planet.
– The goal is deader than our children and their futures.
> “I’ve got three degrees in physics, and I can tell you that Jim is wrong,” said Michael Mann, a leading climate scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, referring to Hansen. The problem isn’t physics, it’s politics, he told CNN. “And political obstacles can be overcome.”

are you getting the nuances here or not?
As long as climate change of the cooling variety continues the 1.5 C threshold is a non issue.
I thought everyone already knew 1.5c was a joke
It’s worse than that. Industrial civilization is caught in its own fedback, saw an interview with Nate Hagens about the Sulphur aerosols that have been limited in bunker fuel have been artificially keeping the global temps cooler so we’ve been masking the full impact. We have created the astroid and then deny its existence.
not sure what there is to debate on this anymore
