Do you think we will ever see the opposite news story? The one where the world had banded together to achieve something great and met some target in the negative?
Not within our lifetime.
No, we have first row seats though.
We will soon succeed in the extermination of one of the most destructive and violent species to exist on earth!
Misleading. Useful information, but the definitions are misleading.
- This is based on projections of the remainder of 2023.
- This is based on a 1-year measurement in the middle of an El Niño rather than a 5-year rolling average.
- This assumes a lower holocene optimum than organizations like NOAA use. NOAA is calling this a 1.25°C anomaly.
We haven’t hit 1.5°C yet, at least not by the conventional definitions. So the next time you see the IPCC outlining mitigation pathways to keep warming to 1.5°C, please don’t go posting this article saying, “we already passed that point lol.”
