This is how feedback loops behave. Climate scientists have been ignoring them in their models for decades, now it is becoming too obvious to ignore. They still don't want to acknowledge the endpoint.
The graph shows "only" 0,5° C increase over the past decade, but it feels like way more IMO.
I live in Denmark, and we used to have winters with constant frost for about a month around January/February.
The past few years it's been very few days with frost, and not even a month of consistent frost during nights!
I absolutely agree with the graph in that it's become way more noticeable this past decade.
That's the real problem in the end. We're really only able to survive In a fairly tight band of weather. So even small movements out of our band feels terrible to us. The unnerving truth is the planet is fine. Life on the planet is fine. It's survived much colder and much hotter. The humans on earth on the other hand...
Life on the planet is not fine. We are in a mass extinction event after all. It is "fine" as in life will continue to exist without us and the millions of other species which are going to perish, but that is hardly the definition of "fine".
If we get runaway climate change it's the end of ALL life on earth, not just humans. Humans will probably survive the longest, because we can create artificial means to sustain us.
Humans are already surviving from Sahara to beyond the arctic circles, I don't think other species are capable of that, except maybe bacteria.
Of course the planet doesn't give a shit, it's just a big rock. But to say the earth is fine is wrong unless you don't consider life a factor at all.
Well part of this is because Europe is in fact heating up faster than the world average
Global mean temperature between 2015 and 2024 was 1.24 to 1.28°C warmer than the pre-industrial level, which makes it the warmest decade on record. European land temperatures have increased even faster over the same period by 2.19 to 2.26°C, depending on the dataset used.
