  Just for the sake of clarity, there is a difference between jumping above 2C during a year and the long-term average being above 2C, which is what we’re usually talking about when it comes to global warming. This headline, and the 1.5C headlines from last year, tend to muddy the waters. Shit is bad and getting worse, but it’s not quite as bad as you might think at first glance.
