BREAKING: climate change since 1980 is nearly twice as bad as previously calculated 🧵
1.
From 1980 to 2019, the world warmed about 0.79°C. But taking energy from humidity into account, the world has warmed and moistened 1.48°C. And in the tropics, the warming was as much as 4°C.
To try to avoid total catastrophe will take total change.

The extreme climate danger zone appears to be around 0.75°C-1.25°C. We're now into 1.25°C-1.75°C.
This economic system can't take us off the extinction path - making electric cars & planes for the rich will finish off ecosystems.
Profound change now.

We can act.
Limiting the doom and protecting everybody and all species will take a profound shift.
This thread offers a look at the 'dystopian' predicament, and at how to start embracing profound system change.

4. I'll add that the Seth Borenstein media article has received some criticism from scientists (see thread below).
Any comment, @borenbears?

The actual scientific paper appears perfectly sound, however. See article here:
'The findings make sense'.
