      1.5c was in the rear view window when we decided 1.5c should be the ceiling. we’ve passed a tipping point. I think the vast majority of climatologists aren’t confounded by the results, simply determined not to be accused of doomerism.

      watch, when the shit really hits the fan, conservatives will find a way to blame them for not warning enough.

        Everybody laughs until the seasons are no longer reliable enough to grow wheat, corn, or rice, and then suddenly 7.5 billion people starve to death over a two year period.

          I’m worried this summer we’ll see massive crop failures and significant deaths from heat. It was 38c in Delhi today - we’re nowhere near the hottest part of the year. It’s going to be brutal.

      Almost like the climate models are sponsored by big oil to make them seem less dire and the original models are more accurate with their warming predictions

      • We’re warming faster than every climate model, that’s the point. It’s going faster than the most pessimistic model right now, which is confounding. We can explain most of the warming, but there’s a bit that we can’t attribute to any known cause/.mechanism just yet.
