  We’re gonna reach 6 degrees, aren’t we?

    At this rate that is just the start.

    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.

  As stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.

    I’d argue that they wouldn’t know what the danger is anyways.

    To the people who need reaching about this, any number will be scary and confusing…

  I’m curious about the scientific consensus continually undershooting. At a certain point, if you’re always updating in one direction, shouldn’t you overcorrect a bit?

    the scientists made their models taking human behavior into account, but they’ve mistakenly modeled hunan behavior off of rational, informed individuals

  Governments and companies are probably going to spend a lot of money on weather manipulation.

    The could also spend a lot of money on transitioning to green energy too. But it’s cheaper to spend on people manipulation. Everything is fine, it’s always been this way!
