-The world’s scientists confirmed in the 2018 IPCC report that at the current rate, the world could cross 1.5˚C hotter as soon as 2030. That’s only a decade from now, well within the lifespan of most people alive today. 1.5˚C might not sound like a big increase in temperature, but it’s the difference between life and death for thousands of people. Earth has always had natural cycles of warming and cooling, but not like we’re seeing now.

That’s only four years from now, well within the lifespan of most people alive today. 1.5˚C might not sound like a big increase in temperature, but it’s the difference between life and death for thousands of people.

-has joined this list of the warmest seven years on record. All have all been since 2015; the top three being 2016, 2019 and 2020. An exceptionally strong El Niño event occurred in 2016, which contributed to record global average warming. And rising temperatures doesn’t only mean it’s getting hotter. The Earth’s climate is complex — even a small increase in average global temperature means big changes, with lots of dangerous side effects. Src: http://www.350.org.
+has joined the list as the third warmest year on record. 2024 is the warmest with 2023 as the second warmet. An exceptionally strong El Niño event is expected in 2026-2027 which may lead to record global average warming and extreme weather events. And rising temperatures doesn’t only mean it’s getting hotter. The Earth’s climate is complex — even a small increase in average global temperature means big changes, with lots of dangerous side effects.
 From greenhouse gas emissions, to the effects on the planet and our quality of life, [[The Problem]] is urgent, broad and deep.

 James Hansen et al, at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies finds 350 ppm CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere as a safe target to avoid global warming. We are now over 420 ppm.
-we were releasing over 36 gigatonnes/yr of CO<sub>2</sub> into the atmosphere ([https://www.iea.org/news/global-co2-emissions-rebounded-to-their-highest-level-in-history-in-2021 IEA]) along with other potent greenhouse gasses, refrigerants, methane, and nitrous oxide. Atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> levels are well above preindustrial levels.

 , the [[The_Problem#The_Keeling_Curve | Keeling Curve]] shows little evidence of improvement exceeding 420 ppm for the first time and rising at about 2 ppm per year. The main source of elevated levels of CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere is from burning fossil fuels and to a lesser extent burning forests. We need to stop doing both.
