If everyone would just stop fighting, there would be peace on Earth! 🕊 Not realistic? Try to genuinely imagine what it would take to realize net zero in time to keep global warming below 2.0°C. We are crossing 1.5°C as we speak. Let's keep it real!

🌍🌡📈 "Global warming reached an estimated 1.45°C in October 2024. If the 15-year warming trend leading up to then continued, global warming would reach 2°C by August 2039" The trend line reaches above IPCC projections. @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 temp data relative to 1850-1900.

I can't even remember if green offsets are still being allowed in net zero. If so then we cannot depend on restoration efforts to improve land sinks. I don't think methane feedbacks have been properly considered either so even committed warming is too much.

Rockström sez: "Tipping points start hitting between 1.2C and 2C". I'm personally betting on the Arctic collapsing fairly soon, 5ish years. After that, if you dont' have a several million dollar doomsday bunker, hah, well what are you even doing?
