There is growing consensus that our planet is likely to pass the 1.5℃ warming threshold. Research even suggests global warming will temporarily exceed the 2℃ threshold, if atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) peaks at levels beyond what was anticipated.
Notice that that darkens the planet’s albedo, accelerating the progression of ClimatePunctuation/GlobalWarming…
and that the models/simulations contradict the evidence, saying that what happened wouldn’t happen.
The real & correct prediction is that we have already put 5-6C global-warming’s worth of CO2 into the atmosphere, AND we have also added other greenhouse gasses, like methane, & sulfur-hexafluoride.
CO2 acts like the Gate in a bipolar transistor: the tiny current you put into the gate, the HUGE current flows through the Source-Drain part of the transistor.
Increase the CO2, & that increases the moisture in the atmosphere, which MASSIVELY increases the amount of retained solar heat.
Pretending that +2C is attainable, now, is delusional.
I’m no longer certain that there will be ANY life around the equator, in 1 century, at or near the surface.
The models/simulations are falsified by the evidence:

Here is the robust fact:

The powerlaw they discovered that governs the interglacial temperatures is this:
280ppm is a good pre-industrial CO2 measure.
At that point, the CO2 level has been doubled.

At least the shareholders got rich.
Won’t anybody think of the shareholders‽
