I would just like to point out that we are in Summer here in South Africa and just a few days ago.

And last year… it’s only gonna go up from here.
The IPCC suggested, in their Summary for Policy Makers, that we would exceed 1.5°C sometime between 2030 and 2035 with a 50% likelihood.
It’s 2024, and we’re already there. A decade ahead of schedule. Applying a similar “accelerated schedule” to most of the other predictions, we need to be net zero by the 2040s or sooner.
80% of energy is still fossil fuels. Renewables aren’t even covering the growth in energy demand, let alone reducing existing fossil fuel generated power.
And the AMOC is already on the verge of collapse.
Things are going to be bad.
