We have exceeded 1.5c warming.
"I think it's safe to say that both 2023 and 2024 temperatures surprised most climate scientists - we didn't think we'd be seeing a year above 1.5C this early," says Dr Hausfather.
"Since 2023 we've had around 0.2C of extra warming that we can't fully explain, on top of what we had expected from climate change and El Niño," agrees Helge Gößling, a climate physicist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany.
.2C of extra warming since 2023.
substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to hold global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change - The Paris Agreement
Imagine if Exxon didn't bury it in 1977
Imagine if people paid attention when Rachel Carson wrote about it in the 60's
Gotta be real, considering the last 20 years or a bit more when it's been fairly widespread info, I kinda doubt it would have made aby difference. Death machine go brrrrr
