You’ve probably already heard the very bad — but completely expected — news that we have just completed our first 12-month span with global temperatures more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average.

See -- https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68110310

However, according to the IPCC, this does not mean that the goal of the Paris agreement is in tatters. According to them, 1.5C will have to be exceeded over a span of 20 to 30 years (!) before they will declare the target missed.

Come on, give me a break. Do you think we’re idiots? You expect us to fall for that?

If we continue on with Business As Usual for another 20 years, the planet will heat up even more, probably over 2C if not higher.

It’s time to stop the lying. Stop covering up for capitalism. And stop drilling for more oil and more gas to burn.

@breadandcircuses is this a consquence of climate studies being based on 30 year rolling averages? It feels like a technicality as nobody in their right mind is going to dispute the trend
