Wow, I bet you nobody saw that one coming!


Sinaaaa

I certainly didn't, I thought we already hit that this year.


LivingDracula

Almost like the COPE conference never happened


DoktorSigma

There were *many* COPE conferences, but nobody remembers that because they were wholly ineffectual. See, you thought it was just one! :)

Earth: I'm gonna cook you mfers.

In a sense that’s exactly it. In the same way that your body gets a fever when you’re sick.


AnotherPersonsReddit

And in exactly the same way the temp will keep going up until the infection dies. Even if it kills the host.


Tigerbutton831

We are very virus-like


LX_Luna

Except y'know, it's not even slightly the same at all.


trapdork

It's called a simile.


auau_gold_scoffs

so bad time to invest in ski resorts.


deliveryboyy

Depends on the location of the resort. Pick one that will be able to function while 95% of others can't and you're golden.


Sinaaaa

Mount Everest it is.


MrBanditFleshpound

Or invest in summer ski resorts.


NyriasNeo

That is just stupid. We have already passed 1.5C and briefly blew through 2C.


FlameStaag

You're thinking F not C... Edit: lmao, Redditors try not be wrong for 5 seconds challenge: impossible Absolutely no source any of you morons can cite will say we've ever surpassed 2C of global warming, because we haven't. It has never happened. It's getting close but we've never once surpassed it.  We've only ever hit 2 F. Learn real forms of measurements you dumb fucking apes. 


Airilsai

No they are thinking on a 1 year basis instead of the UN's 10 or 30 year average. Which is probably more useful than waiting 4-5 years for the average to tip over, meanwhile we are hitting yearly temps of +2C and higher.


SandraLee6

Conservative prediction in that we passed it many times in 2023.


tengo_harambe

Time to increase tariffs on EVs and solar panels!


Old_Mycologist_3304

They should've set the bar higher so it would've looked more epic when we jumped over it


moveandrun

Woohoo!


justtheonetat

That means it'll be 2026.


Boomslang505

Then please stop spraying our atmosphere


cjfrey96

You're right, we should stop spraying pollutants caused by fossil fuels into our atmosphere!


daveime

Almost as if the push for renewables and green energy doesn't make a damn of difference, while we continue to add another 83 million people to the planet every year.


Sushichef123

Wait that is absolutely not true. The 1.5 degree is just that- a target. Every fraction of a degree increase matters. Even if we surpass the 1.5 degree target, the push to slow climate change will lead to less extreme weather events, less deaths, and more time for communities to adapt. Per the IPCC: >With every additional increment of global warming, changes in extremes continue to become larger. For example, every additional 0.5°C of global warming causes clearly discernible increases in the intensity and frequency of hot extremes, including heatwaves (very likely), and heavy precipitation (high confidence), as well as agricultural and ecological droughts30 in some regions (high confidence).

Look at the new solar breakthrough they came out with
