“Even temporarily exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius before bringing temperatures back down — a scenario known as an “overshoot” — could cause sea level rises and other disastrous repercussions that might last millenia.”
1.5 was something that was maybe possible if we had immediately, globally have pulled out all the stops and we simply have not done that.
But pullout out no stops, and lying to each other about it, didn’t help at all?
1.5 is gone baby, IPCC says our most probable outcome is 2.4.
It was a good run guys.
Soon we will all be living underground. Hopefully the earthquakes aren’t too bad.
It’s analogue. It’s a fader, not an on/off switch. It’s set at 1.5 to give us a buffer between us and 2, which is where it gets really nasty.
But every 0.1 lower is better than 0.1 higher, whether it’s above or below 2.
