Only 30 years before predicted.
It’s pretty clear that the world simply isn’t going to address climate change on any meaningful level. A serious effort would have had to start decades ago for it have any real chance of success. We need to do what we can, but realistically prepare for an increasingly inhospitable world.
It’s hot as balls out here
2C here we come!
We’re so cooked.
Fuck.
“The world has baked for 12 consecutive months in temperatures 1.5C (2.7F) greater than their average before the fossil fuel era, new data shows.”
“The findings do not mean world leaders have already failed to honour their promises to stop the planet heating 1.5C by the end of the century”
This is just stupid BS spin.
Co2 emissions have been increasing in the last few years with no end in sight. The temp is only going to go up. Heck, “Temperatures between July 2023 and June 2024 were the highest on record, scientists found, creating a year-long stretch in which the Earth was 1.64C hotter than in preindustrial times.” The average is only going to go up, not down.
Is anyone gullible enough to believe we have not already blew through 1.5C? Heck, we have already blew through 2C last year, abate briefly. May as well move the goal post to 2C, before that also becomes laughable.
I wish more people realized how bad this will get. The end Permian mass extinction event was caused by an average global temperature increase of around 6-10°C. It was the largest mass extinction event on earth with some estimates ranging as high as killing 96% of all species at that time. Last I checked models are predicting were looking at 5°C of warming overall in the coming 100+ years (could be on a time scale of hundreds of years) but it will happen. We could very well be on the precipice of one of the greatest mass extinction events this planet has ever seen. I’m convinced the extinction event has already begun and we will look back at this time as the canary in the coal mine phase. Eventually it will get so obvious what is going on that no one will be able to deny the reality of climate change, maybe then we will take action but it’ll probably be too little too late. Maybe if we’re lucky AI algorithms will progress in the coming decades to a point where it will be able to geoengineer a solution for us. But otherwise I think we are cooked, literally.
It’s fine, we expected this.
We did it!
World economy is predicted to continue growing despite climate change.
sire you have entered a dark age.
We gon get the frenzied flame ending to the humanity main game, hope the dlc is better.
Well, you build over 11 billion internal combustion automobiles over the last 100 years, what do you think all that carbon monoxide will do?
Profits before the environment!! Build those Bunker’s.. because we will come. Not just 1 thousands!
I said it earlier today.. but I’ll say it again.. I’m ashamed to be a human being. Imagine destroying everything you touch and never learning.
Call Genghis, I think he can fix this
We were always going to wait till the last minute to fix it. We aren’t even there yet. But I’m optimistic that new solutions will help once everyone is in a real panic. Maybe in another decade.
Animal agriculture is a huge contributor to climate change but everyone I know would rather die than give up meat, even partially.
Ahh the great filter
Reminder that dooming only helps the status quo.
Reminder that we are in an El Nino year, which is expected to be hotter than usual.
Reminder that California is already covering 20+% of their electricity load many evenings using the expensive and unsuited lithium battery tech(better and cheaper grid storage is around the corner).
Reminder to check out solar power growth in the Netherlands to see how fast you can change your fossil fuel reliance.
Reminder to check the exponential growth of electric vehicles, solar panels, wind power, batteries – all getting much cheaper every year.
We are not baked yet.
We would have to reduce our travel, emissions, etc more than during the global covid lockdown, for far longer, to have a meaningful impact on emissions.
So that will not happen.
It’s one of these things that when finally the general population feels enough impact on weather due to climate on their day to day life to go like ‘well, this is bad, we should do something’, we’re going to be long past the timing to do anything.
Edit: spelling
And absolutely nothing will be done about it, because “line must go up” and “what about the shareholders, Bob?”
