I’ll note that 2.5°C of warming by 2100 is a significant improvement over the trajectory we were on a decade ago, even if still far from where we need to be
jesus christ :-(
In Córdoba Argentina weather has been getting crazy these last few years. We’ve been constantly getting 40°C+ temperatures in summer, an even in winter we’ve hit the 40°C mark (in the middle of July, mind you). Last year we only had like two days in the whole year where we managed to get minus 0°C temperatures
Almost 9 fucking months of summer here in Perth, with about 3 of those months being 30C and clear every single day. Forests and bushland are dying as a result, and water is scarce. I’ve never seen anything like it.
That’s 104° F for anyone wondering
The rest of the world understood 😆
American units 🤢
I don’t mean to downplay the situation at all but doesn’t that description pretty much match the world as it exists today? If anything I would expect their predictions to be more dire than that. The global south seems to have more than it’s fair share of pain and suffering already.
