      very soon. It will hit hard. 1.5 degrees is when the tipping points start to tip.

      To be honest. I did climate activism the last two years until I had a burnout. I do not believe that we can stop it anymore and I think we should start prepping in a sense of building strong communities and practacing solidartiy. While we should still try to stop it we should also try to live in solidarity in this crisis

        1.5 degrees is when the tipping points start to tip.

        Fun fact: the planet has been at +1.5℃ for the last 14 months.

        The reason why we aren’t officially at +1.5℃ is because the official designation is a political one, which requires some insanely long time at +1.5℃ - usually on the order of 8-20 years, depending on the org - before it can be said that we have “breached +1.5℃”.

        Politicians are morons in the pockets of the Parasite Class.

            Yep, water takes a lot of heat to make it go in temperature so any change in ocean temps has a large impact on the global average temperature.

        we cannot stop it but we can still prevent doom scenarios (>3 degrees) by both mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change
