I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Climate Realism Is a Delusion
By shooting for 3 degrees Celsius of warming, the world could slide toward a more cataclysmic 4 degrees.

The really annoying thing is that we knew well in advance and have had every opportunity to avoid climate destabilization.
"Warming is going to exceed 1.5°C. We are heading into “overshoot” within the next few years. The world is going to become more turbulent and more dangerous. So, what comes after failure?" Some thoughts from Johan Rockstrom & me 10 years after Paris Agreement.

Anyway, my fellow arctic-winter inhabitants, this is your daily reminder to:
- Take your vitamin D
- Take your cod liver oil
- Use your artificial sunlight
- Check your storm proofing
- Plug your engine warmer in
- Meditate on your life choices/why the hell you didn't live literally anywhere else

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

Jättebra text! 🙌 Vi behöver inte optimism utan realism.
För övrigt tror jag att de allra flesta inte fattat detta: ”1,5-gradersmålet är inte en random gräns som någon satt på måfå. Det är en nivå som möjliggör för oss att leva ett tryggt och säkert liv på vår enda planet.”
För övrigt tror jag att de allra flesta inte fattat detta: ”1,5-gradersmålet är inte en random gräns som någon satt på måfå. Det är en nivå som möjliggör för oss att leva ett tryggt och säkert liv på vår enda planet.”
7 procent per år är vad vi behöver – 0,2 promille på fyra år är vad vi klarar. Så ser glappet mellan nödvändiga utsläppsminskningar och faktiska utsläppsminskningar ut.
Lösningen är inte att tänka lite mer positivt, och det är heller inte så optimism ser ut.

Utsläppen behöver minska med sju procent per år – med Tidöpartierna blir minskningen 0,2 promille (!) under en hel mandatperiod.
