The Earth at 1.5 degrees celicus above pre-industrial levels in 2028 🌎

They’ll never let carbon emissions go unchecked, that’s pure madness. That’s what people like to tell themselves while buying the latest organic products, electric cars and heat pumps to heat their homes. It’s all the fault of the greedy Republicans and those who don’t get it, say the virtue signaling Democrats who hope to pick up a few more votes come election day. It’s not bad politics or a marketing strategy, but it’s not good for our future either.

They say most likely this decade, we will reach 1.5 degrees global warming. Possibly as soon as 2027, although on our current projectory we are looking at 2028 or 2029 most likely. That’s just a fact, something that that is going to mean the most optimistic carbon budget will be used up as carbon levels continue to spiral upwards.

It’s going to mean more severe weather, more heat waves and floods. It will change the probability of severe weather, meaning storms unlikely to happen in a lifetime are more common. You can pretend the inevitable isn’t happening unless you turn on the news or look out your window.
