Why are so few people aware that we'll likely reach 2°C of global warming next decade?

A stable climate is only the prerequisite for global ecosystems, food production, and for some form of civilization.

Right?

So so many psychological barriers being reinforced by interest groups for fossil fuels

People are simply overwhelmed and numb to the constant stream of very bad news coming out every single day.

IDK, most people I know are up-to-date on every political shenanigan and celebrity drama that get pushed on us. They simply don't give a shit, until it's knocking at their door.

Must be the Avengers Doomsday announcement a few days ago that has people not paying attention. Something much more important. /s

just another siren, just another flashing red light, ho hum.

Can you do this for 3°C please.

The IEA say that peak emissions are impossible to reach before 2030. CO2 takes 15 years to reach peak impact. We should see acceleration until 2045 and also 3°C by then, not counting tipping points?

nonviolence.bsky.social•2 days ago

A 15 year linear trend says 2034.

And by now, we know that it can only be worse and never better.

A lot are still in denial

In Canada we’re ditching our Carbon Tax.

This feels like being on the Titanic and the manager whispering to the bartender that he doesn’t need to worry about who’s bill the drinks go on anymore

It's an internationally agreed mercy kill.

I point it out where I can and note the speed it has increased since the Paris Agreement was signed. But it feels like nobody is aware at all outside doomer communities.

With the changing to low sulphur fuels for shipping in the Mediterranean, it wouldn't surprise me if we reach 2°C this decade. Of course it'll predominantly impact the Med and surrounding area, but those ships will be international.

leonsimons.bsky.social•1 day ago

Many ships will switch from max
0.5% to max 0.1% sulphur fuels when entering Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs).

Some invest in scrubbers, which take out >95% of sulphur and impacts emissions over the entire journey.

Because humankind would have to change its behavior fundamentally, nobody wants it. We would like to go on and on like for the last 100 years, growth, consumption and fun.

Since the last Great Depression it's been a game of one upsmanship as to which political party will GROW the economy the most.

Still is.

landbewohner.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because the majority does not want to be aware.
Don't look up! Thats what they prefer.

I don't think we'll reach 2°C next decade. I think we'll reach it this decade. I reckon the next el Niño will push us over, especially with the loss of AME from the change in shipping regulations.

foxfire42.bsky.social•8 hours ago

With feedback loops it could very well happen.

robinredneck.bsky.social•2 days ago

With a sufficiently certain probability, this will be the case, and we are discussing our personal happiness in the coming years. Negligence or consequence? Both, and still tragic.

parce que c'est plus simple de regarder les licornes courir sur un arc-en-ciel que de se confronter à la réalité. 🤷‍♂️

Lorsque les gens parlent aujourd'hui de plus d'ER et de VE au lieu de réduire la consommation de 2/3 et de ne plus avoir de vaches et de voitures, ils battent une licorne morte.

The problem is too abstract and there is no silver bullet solution. If you really want to understand what is happening, read Carl Jung. He understood human psychology better than anyone. He actually predicted much of what is happening.

Looks like 560 PPM CO2-equivalent is a real possibility.
That’s the 2XCO2 scenario (from 280 ppm pre-industrial). Currently (2025 Feb) at 427, > 1/2 way there.

Previously on Earth, that was a 7 °C increase.

Every achievement, every possibility, lost.
