It Does Not Matter That The World’s Temperature Passed 1.5C
Last year, global warming took the world’s temperature above the 1.5C threshold that is the point of no return for some of the worst aspects of climate change. One analysis pointed out that it does not matter much. One expert said that whether it is 1.49C or 1.5C, the catastrophe is the same.
The Guardian reports, “There’s now an extremely high likelihood that we will overshoot the long-term average of 1.5C in the Paris agreement limit,” Dr Samantha Burgess, deputy director at C3S said. And, the reaction also points to the huge amount of “misery for millions of people.”
Some scientists believe that the focus should be that from one year to the next, temperatures may increase or decrease slightly. The challenge is where they are in a decade, The train wreck has already begun, and there is no reason to believe it will be stopped.
There are several challenges that cannot be overlooked. The first is that climate catastrophes will grow in size and severity. The current LA fires are a prime example. So was this year’s Atlantic hurricane season. Most importantly, the environment has become so dangerous in some parts of the world, that millions of people need to move to places where the effects of climate change are not as severe.
The relocation solution will not happen. This is because it is impossible to relocate what is at least tens of millions of people. There is nowhere close to where they live to which they can be moved. And, the places they need to go do not want them.
It is not the temperature. It is the results,
