Current trajectory estimates are more like +2.5C to +3C by 2100 based on existing policy. We’ve actually managed to move the trajectory downward even though we obviously have a lot to go. Every little bit counts. It is far less binary than this overly simplistic tweet is suggesting
We are at over +1.5 if you ignore sliding decade average and multiple factors make +3 by 2050 reasonably likely. We got there because we erred on the side of climate sensitivity due to people like you, who told us disregard the “alarmists” and tnat we have plenty of time to act. Well, it looks like the “alarmists” were right.

That’s global average, but some parts of the world are heating up a lot faster than others.
Yes, we should emphasize that every 0.1 degree counts

If the alarmists are right, we’re completely fucked already. Might as well do nothing and enjoy the benefits of a petro society while it lasts.
This is not what climate scientists are asking for right now.
I like this comment. Because you’re right, I felt doom in the pit of my stomach before seeing it. Thanks for adding nuance.
To get that feeling back, have a go at https://richardcrim.substack.com/ That will add more nuance, and then some.
