Big fucked if true.
I looked it up the other day. We crossed 1c in 2015/2016. News stories at the time talked about how 1.5 might happen as early as 2035 if we don’t get our climate act together.

I looked up a few articles from to 2015 and non of them spoke about 2035. Do you have a link maybe?

Yeah, sadly not a suprise

Congrats, everyone! We finally did it! And way ahead of schedule! Take that, scientists! They said we couldn’t do it before 2050. They warned us! They scolded us! But look at us now! Eat it, nerds!
sigh
This is fucking ridiculous.

Don’t worry, cheaper solar panels, electric cars and entrepreneurs will save humanity. And by humanity I mean a specific share of the world’s developed nations. Discourse on this frustrates me to an unhealthy degree.
If you promote techno-fetishism laden, borderline tech-bro driven or shitass bill gates financed media, please reply so I may wish upon your remaining bloodline an everlasting mildly inconvenient curse.
And if you like Kurzgesagt tech videos, please reply so I may respectfully call you a fucking donkey.

I’m frustrated by the discourse too but I’m not sure it’s for the same reasons as you.
What frustrates me is we never seem to discuss goals and why we have those goals.
Is the goal to keep the average temperature of earth as low as possible for as long as possible?
Is it to minimize the impact and costs for humans?
What exactly are we aiming for, and why?
What is your frustration with the discourse?

Human sustainability requires having those goals. Protecting oligarch wealth is within oligarch corruption power, and human prosperity is a sacrifice they are willing to make. Genocide of the uppity disenfranchised as a final solution seems natural today., as the path forward.

And so far, what have we done?
Pretty much nothing. We’ve done a lot of pretending with “let’s recycle plastics”, which them just get dumped anyway because fuck you, that’s why.
We’re slowly slowly moving to electrical cars instead of pushing hard for bicycles and public transportation. Profits over anything else!
We’ve implemented.next day deliveries, because THAT is important. Fuck your winter
The US just choose a climate change denier who put a guy in charge of the EPA that can’t stop talk about pushing businesses and economy and oil.
The world is lead by narcissistic psychopaths and everyone just lets them.

God I hope I’m wrong about 2025 BOE.

According to several other data sets, 2023 reached 1.5C too. Dramatic record low Arctic sea ice volume throughout the year, and current, including at north pole is ominous for north pole being ice free in next 2 summers.
