Please take some time to read about the origin of the 1.5C target. It didn't originate from naivety or stupidity. Those who put it forward certainly didn't see it as "pointless" then, and would probably still not. @climatehome.bsky.social www.climatechangenews.com/2015/12/10/a... - ThreadSky

Yes, they're deliberately spreading a nihilistic narrative to undermine public efforts to affect change.

Who decided 1.5 C should have been -1.5C fkd leaders of these so called first world countries need to get a grip..

Do you know the temperature difference between an ice age and the current climate?

vintagevinyl.bsky.social•162 days ago

Well an ice age would be where you come from and the temperature difference would be determined by climate scientists..

Dancing on the grave of the 1.5°C target is a political act. If the techno-economics doesn't seem to work, maybe it's time to reduce energy demand in certain countries and demographics.

I guess climate resiliency is short work for ostrich reflex ignorance

Also this is from Carbon Brief, supposedly Conservative outlet for climate news and analysis.

When the IPCC 1.5-degree Special Report was released, this infographic helped show that half a degree of warming matters—a lot. https://bit.ly/48T4nVy via @worldresources.bsky.social

we're talking about the death of people, the destruction of homes, the separation of families - not lines on a chart and values in a spreadsheet.

"For AOSIS, 1.5C is not just an abstract number. It has deep implications for the complete loss of our nations, our culture and our identity"
