Climate change target of 2C is ‘dead’, says renowned climate scientist

Not a shock. We have not done enough.

[yodan@lemm.ee]

We either become mole people, dolphin people, or space people

Maybe oxygen clubs will be the new thing in 50 years to get out of the smog/humidity

[truthfultemporarily@feddit.org]

We should put research into stratospheric aerosol injection. We need an insurance to limit climate change if emissions don't go down fast enough.

We know it works, and it's at least not catastrophically unsafe as we have already done it with container ships, and seen it happen at bigger scale with volcanic eruptions.

Too late, these exist:

Okay my next big idea is the bodega van. Instead of an ice cream truck for kids it's a convenience store for adults in the suburbs. It's 6:47pm and you're out of milk, tissues, and you forgot to buy broccoli for your dinner. Oh shit it's the bodega van music. Brb, gotta walk down the block instead of spend 20m in a car, parking lot, store, line, back. As long as the margins are less than doordash it's worth using.

Cmon please tell me I have one original thought in this wide world.

If your mean "we" as humanity, yes.
If you mean "we" like you and me, then no.

The main responsible didn't do enough and that's not us.

Only a few decided to ignore all the warnings, so money could be made.

6C is dead

[neonwoofgenesis@l.henlo.fi]

Sorry we had grocery buses in Finland driving out to villages at least since the 80's. Not sure if they exist anymore

How about some sort of hot dog helicopter?

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

Wow, wasn’t it just last year when they took the 1.5° target off life support and called it?

Now the 2° is dead? Are we killing off 2.5° by summer?

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

Apparently some of us “dril baby drill” and we’ll make those profits when we get there

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

We need ice cream truck reform first. The damn things never stay still long enough for me to catch them

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

And veggies. Repurpose the heli to mass produce chopped salads from the sky

[palerider@feddit.uk]

All of last year, every time they said this month was the hottest on record, I kept saying "So far..."

100% This, and also microbubbles in the ocean

I'm before we hit 2C by 2030

[hubertmanne@moist.catsweat.com]

lots of folks said it was not going to happen. Last year was really recognizing there was absolutely no way its happening because it had actually passed it already so there is no way we were not passing it as we have. you will see something when we pass it about how now its impossible not to im sure soon enough.

Spoiler Alert: Look around you. Humanity is not going to address this issue. Enjoy your life and if you have kids, let them know their futures and their kid's futures etc are going to be progressively bleaker.

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

The scary part is that seems to make no difference (to people, corps, countries). Has anyone changed anything based on passing that target? Will the anyone change their minds or behavior with this new projection?

Maybe I’m just cynical with the disaster of the US elections - we were finally making a little progress, finally had reason to hope, but we just threw that away

[nalivai@lemmy.world]

Last year there was hope that the US will at least not get worse.
