> Here we synthesise multiple lines of evidence to show that +1.5 °C is too high and that even current climate forcing (+1.2 °C), if sustained, is likely to generate several metres of sea-level rise over the coming centuries, causing extensive loss and damage to coastal populations and challenging the implementation of adaptation measures.

Who’s going to tell them?
1.5°C is so 2005, let’s get nuts and go for 4°C and see what happens!
Not to mention [it could take millenia](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02318-w) for ice sheets to recover after that.
It’s over. We lost. This past election was the final nail to close up any chance of even slowing climate change
Move out of desert areas. The water wars will start soon.
I assume at 2.5 we’re back into a nice region of local stability though… right?
don’t forget no polar ice means no albedo
no albedo, no natural cooling of the planet
