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

Instead of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, it'll be 6 degrees and we're all bakin'

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 2023, 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.

Thank you for the clarification.

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…

The heat index in my city right now as I type this comment is 42C/107F. And summer is just starting. This is gonna suck.

You and me both...

[-] Allah@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago

correction 2023 may was first month to see +1.5 °C

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.
