Global Warming Speedrun Any%

its a mean avg for 10 years, so 1 year above that doesn't mean we hit it. rm we are at 1.1
-
Which is part of the problem... TEN YEARS after we've breached 1.5 degrees, we might be committed to do something.

We haven't reached 1.5 degrees on the ten year average, so there's no need to act. When we get there, there will be no point in acting because it'll be too late. How could we possibly have seen this coming - it's not like scientists have been screaming it at us for the last half century...
Can't change it through advocacy or direct action, can't hold those responsible to account, but can't roll over and die - Guess I'll bitch about it online as I struggle to afford a house in the economy fucked by the same class interests that doomed the species.

Yep, let’s not worry about it. We have not hit the target so it must not be a problem. We can deal with it later if it happens. /s

If we take the average of the next 5 years, and the previous 5 years, we are almost guaranteed to be well over 1.5 lol.

I remember when they wanted to keep it within 1°C. Now it's 1.5°C. In a few years, people will all be surprise Pikachu'd that nobody has done anything, and the goalpost will move to 2°C.
In a few years the temperature rise will move to 2, not just the goal posts.
So I wonder which we’ll hit first:
It’s a race toward doom!
