A new analysis by Hansen and colleagues concludes that both the impact of recent cuts in sun-blocking shipping pollution, which has raised temperatures, and the sensitivity of the climate to increasing fossil fuels emissions are greater than thought.

The group’s results are at the high end of estimates from mainstream climate science but cannot be ruled out, independent experts said. If correct, they mean even worse extreme weather will come sooner and there is a greater risk of passing global tipping points,

Evwrtyhings on course for the collpaee if civilisation under the weight of human stupidity :)

    I’m willing to gamble there will be uninhabitable areas of the globe within a decade in places long inhabited.
