I'm old enough to remember when the IPCC was warning we would hit 1.5C by 2040. That was 3 years ago. Now there's a chance we'll see a yearly average above 2C by... 2030. And from our 'leaders'... tumbleweeds. wmo.int/files/wmo-gl... - ThreadSky

And they keep complaining that the birth rate is too low! The dystopian world we live in is just gonna get worse.

I remember building igloos in my parents backyard... Havent seen real snow in years now...

we could’ve had the only political debate happening right now be solely about the climate crisis and american interference in foreign conflicts, because nothing else crazy would be happening.

we could’ve.

but now we can’t.

ozlilly.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lol that was not happening no matter who won. America gets rich interfering in other countries and selling fossil fuels.

The cognitive dissonance is unfathomable.

2°C is the disaster scenario that we were definitely going to avoid at all costs. So I'm sure that's what we're doing.

Not enough. We are not doing enough.

I wonder about ‘our leaders’ They don’t represent me.

Now that the scientists have been effectively gagged I suspect it will be worse than we anticipate. Many people will suffer and die by 2040.

Yup...grew up with that benchmark being doom and gloom. 😡😡 all's good now, record fucking profits.

Have you heard about the MIT report about the 2040s?

There is a difference between hitting 1.5°C in a singular year, and maintaining an average of 1.5°C.
Thankfully, we are not at 1.5°C - yet.

Back in the year 2000 I predicted the collapse would come in 2035. I opened my Guardian under the pseudonym "35 years" to express that.
It may not be that far out, tragically.

Our "leaders" are too busy lining their pockets from Earth's destruction to care. Only when there is no planet left to profit from will they care, and it will be too late.

They've taken care of themselves with our money.

Once again here I am tagging my reps with futility

It will be sooner than 2030 as 2C was actually eclipsed briefly a couple years ago. Crickets for the most part except Dr Guy McPherson and a couple others. Most have a vested interest in decadal delaying of the imminent and irreversible.
