    Everyone reading this comment; “uh, seems a bit too depressing of an article, I’ll just read the comments.”

    Well, I tried that, but there were no comments for me to look at. How am I supposed to ignore potential existential threats when no-one is flaming each other in te comments?

      Crucially, though, these changes don’t just happen the moment we reach the 1.5°C threshold. They are incremental.
      As Penn State University climate scientist Michael Mann told Inside Climate News in 2018: “A better analogy is a minefield. The further out onto that minefield we go, the more explosions we are likely to set off.”
