We have already reached 2º C, is it so difficult to believe that we will reach 3º C?

Scientists were wrong numerous times when predicting the evolution of the climate anomaly. But they still have the nerve, a large sector of them, to ask for reliable evidence that we are on a slope of climate acceleration.

Dr James Hansen’s study notes that, from 1970 to 2010, the world warmed at a rate of 0.18 degrees Celsius per decade, but projected that this would increase at a rate of at least 0.27 degrees Celsius per decade thereafter 2010. NOAA data shows 0.27 degrees is the rate since September 2010.

Throughout 2023, the 1.5º C threshold was broken for more than one day and it even reached 2º C. Is it so difficult to understand that if this sequence continues we can reach 3º C? With all the consequences that this will bring.

“Climate crisis” is how NASA defined the situation facing the world as a result of the temperature recorded, on average, on the Earth’s surface in 2023: it exceeded the reference values by 1.2 degrees. This was stated by scientists at the Goddard Institute for Space Research (GISS), a laboratory of this North American organization based in New York dependent on the United States space agency.

Between June and December 2023, a world record for high temperature peaks was set for each month. If we compare this last July, the hottest ever recorded, with the average for that month at the end of the 19th century, when modern records began, the mark reached an average around 1.4°C above the data from that time epoch.

In 2023, global warming jumped to its highest level on record. In 2023, the Earth was 1.48°C warmer than in pre-industrial times, according to the European Union’s climate monitoring service.

The WMO has taken the values collected by six important international data sets used to monitor global temperatures and, after consolidating them, has confirmed that in 2023 the planet’s average annual temperature was 1.45 ± 0.12 °C above the pre-industrial levels (1850-1900).

According to new MET calculations, in 2024 a new heat record will be broken on our planet, even surpassing the historical mark of 2023, and the average increase in temperatures could reach 1.58 degrees.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service and the World Meteorological Organization confirmed that July 2023 was the hottest month on the planet since records began.

The probability of having a heat wave like the one in July 2023 in southern Europe, North America and China was up to 50 times greater than it would have been in a world without the extra warming caused by the emission of greenhouse gases.

The global average temperature for July 2023 is confirmed to be the highest on record for any month. The month was 0.72°C warmer than the 1991-2020 average for July, and 0.33°C warmer than the previous warmest month, July 2019.

2023 is currently the third warmest year to date, 0.43°C above the recent average, and the global average temperature in July is 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

July 6 was a historic day, as the average daily temperature surpassed the record set in August 2016 and set a new milestone as the hottest day ever recorded, reaching 1.708°C.

The data set indicates that the global land surface temperature on November 17 reached 2.07°C above the pre-industrial average, taking as reference the average temperature between 1850 and 1900, before the extensive use of fossil fuels. Additionally, provisional data for November 18 show a temperature anomaly of 2.06°C above the pre-industrial level.

While this happens in front of everyone, let the party continue, let’s burn wildly what we have left of our hydrocarbon reserves, let’s continue accelerating global warming…, nothing will happen, the experts say!

Nothing? Stay tuned and look towards the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica and towards the ESAS platform in Siberia, soon between today and no more than 4 years in the future, there will be news.

Have some of the geniuses who are leading the world ever wondered what is the threshold of all our technological capacity to slow down the climate anomaly? No? Well, the answer is: between +2º to 3º C.

Once this average temperature is reached, we will no longer be able to stop the sequence of positive feedbacks activating in a domino effect, with runaway and abrupt warming towards levels of + 6 /+8º C. and it can get even worse if intense evaporation of ocean waters occurs.

What are these leaders thinking?

Do they know what they are doing?

A Better World, Now Possible!
