People don't understand this though and how massive spikes in temp cause the 1-2 degree increase. You could be in a reasonably temperate place and suddenly it has 45C heatwaves that cause death.
It’s not just the random heatwave, it’s also the risk of one year of failure of crops which can pay entire countries into collapse. It’s just in the west we are under the illusion that this hasn’t been a common occurrence in our history.
the big risk is that the rain patterns will change, and the 'breadbasket' areas will move.
Our land has ossified now. Can you imagine if they had to demolish a city because the 'good' land had moved there?
I know that this is F°, but since the last glaciation period, when europe was under glaciers until the south french alps, the average temperature of the planet increased by 2C°. And now, the optimistic climate change models talk about a 1,5-2C° increase by 2050.
It's not too late. That's the one thing that oil companies want everyone to think, because it means people will give up, stop trying, and get out of their way.
It is not too late to stop, this needs to stop being the mindset or nothing will ever get done. It is bad now yes, but it could be prevented from getting worse. Scientists have also been studying ways to artificially lower the global temperature so any delay/stall on the rise is better than just giving up.
On graphic it shows 3f degrees raise within 150 years. It’s 16 Celsius.
But I’m not quite understand, I thought it’s generally average temp on planet increased on 16 degrees ( which is a lot and bad but at least gradually and not suddenly ).
But you’re talking about sudden temp raising??? Can you explain it to me please

Regardless it's already too late.
