And many are still pretending the limit of 1.5 C of warming is achievable, while governments, including Australia’s, continue to expand fossil fuel production. #Cooked

Australia's mean temperature, the average of all minimums and maximums, was 1.46 degrees Celsius above the 1961-1990 baseline.

If Oz leaders were serious about the welfare of its citizens it would switch fossil fuel subsidies to solar on every rooftop with battery/EV backup!
Oz has enough solar to power the planet!

Every time someone continues to pretend it isn’t happening, I’m going to ask them to explain that mean temp anomaly graph to me…

Even if we somehow turn off the CO2, CH4 and other hot taps, won't it take decades for their warming potential to wear off? By then how many tipping points self-sustain further warming?

That's the problem with articles like this.
There is token acknowledgement that "climate change is now the major influence on yearly anomalies"

But no analysis of inadequacy of the govt's efforts, and the fossil fuel lobby's domination.
Or how the LNP would be even worse for future generations.

Globally 1.5C in the rear view mirror. Thankfully the southern hemisphere is not warming as fast as the northern but Albo’s idiotic fossil fuel expansion will make things much worse faster. We are cooking ourselves slowly.
