Just saw this report from a few days ago and in all honesty it doesn’t look good. I hope I am misinterpreting it.
Unless insanely drastic measures are taken in the next 8 years we’ll overshoot the 2°C warming, never mind the 1.5°C.
“But with COP27 looming, only a couple of dozen have done so and the new pledges would shave just 1% off emissions in 2030. Global emissions must fall by almost 50% by that date to keep the 1.5C target alive.”
The linked graph in the article is staggering showing how little our existing pledges are going to put a dent in that number. Our current policies will put us anywhere from 2.6-2.8°C of warming.
Life will almost surely survive in one way or another. Humanity on the other hand…
If we die, Imma build a big ass statue of the leaders of Marxism Leninism that hopefully will survive until some aliens find us
