We have broken the 1.5C limit unfortunately. Over 12 months we haven’t, but it’s 1.78C over in the last 4 months. It will hit tipping points as well where the temperature rise won’t be linear, it will accelerate. After this El Niño we might have a couple of years drop slightly but it will quickly get back to where it was and more from what I can gather (I’m not qualified to make statements like this so I’m just venting, but over the last 7 years I’ve been extremely invested in these matters, looking into to data from studies around the world not news articles).

[@reuireuiop0]

A slight comfort it may be, _but_ climate is a 30 year average, so it has to get this warm for another 10 years to come close to breaching the 1,5. And, due to "harmonization" of old data , the weather institutes have weeded out some of the old extremes in high temps, resulting in making lower the old average temps. This has made the gap with current average temps up to halve a centigrade bigger. There are scientific arguments for this, _but_ I think they should have left old data files alone. Some meteorologists agree with that. Otherwise there's no denying temps are up _fast_ and we're sure to breach the 1,5 climate the next decade, at the very last

[@michaelstimpson1137]

​@@reuireuiop0I think that's something that's been introduced in the last year because it was obvious that 1.5 was gone. Paul Beckwith seems to not have been aware that 1.5 was a rolling average.

the 10 year running average is the stick that's climate is measured with. So it takes more than 1 year over 1.5 to meet the mark. Much like weather is noise over seasonal variations, yearly temps are the noise over "climate", otherwise one cool year would mean that climate change is "over".

Whenever I hear the 1.5 C limit being discussed I start worrying about tipping points... the Amazon & other tropical forests are already sufferings severe deforestation due to mining, agriculture & ranching - so VERY vulnerable to climate change impacts.

Many scientists are concerned about the health of the AMOC and the world saw record SSTs & marine heatwaves in 2023. CO2 concentrations now stand at over 420 ppm (safe level is 350 ppm) and methane levels apparently are also skyrocketing. And many scientists are also beginning to talk about a high Earth Energy Imbalance. And we have now surpassed 6 of the 9 planetary boundaries. And wars & conflicts seem to be escalating, not diminishing. Eish! Humans are "cutting it very close" in efforts to restore not only the climate but ecological systems, processes & services (provided FREE OF CHARGE by nature), but your optimism gives me a little bit of positivity. I hope you are feeling better. I look forward to following the latest climate news on your channel. Here's to a "downward trend" in all the right ways and an "upward trend" in all the places that matter.

"Since when does the warming need to be over 1.5 degrees for several years? That was never discussed until they realised that we were already at 1.5. " NO, "climate and climate change" mean long-term trends, so being truly at +1.5 C was always understood to mean not for a year or too, but averaging that high for at least a decade.

Once we stop emitting, we will still continue to heat up with all the carbon in the air. The additional feedbacks have started, and I don't see them stopping. Oh ya, we're not going to stop emitting. So there is that problem to start with.

[@ClimateAdam]

our best scientific understanding is that once we stop emitting CO2, warming stops (the 'baked in' heating is counteracted by decreases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations after net zero). I discuss in more depth here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2SqoJ9jerBkq6c

[@General12th]

In general, the amount of "warming in the pipeline" is relatively small, and certainly much smaller than folks like James Hansen make it out to be. The majority of warming caused by emissions happens in the first year, and virtually all of it within ten. This doesn't address tipping points, but you don't have to worry that all the extra warming we're experiencing now is the product of twenty or thirty years ago. It's the product of the last two or three years.

[@dr_shrinker]

Climate denialist here. I have honest questions that need answers. I’m not being facetious, I legitimately want to know/understand. 1.Vostok (look it up) ice core shows temps lead co2 by 600-800 years, during every warming and cooling period over the past 200,000 years. Why do temp trends lead co2 trends, over the past 200,000 years? If co2 caused the change of temps wouldn’t co2 lead and raise before the temps do? 2. If co2 causes warming trends, what caused the elevated co2 levels over every warming trend in the last 200,000 years? 3. If co2 caused warming trends, why did the earth cool 800 years before co2 levels dropped? If co2 warmed the planet, wouldn’t the temps remain high as long as co2 was high?

[@House_Stark]

Answers to your questions(from research i've read): 1.Vostok ice core samples are from Vostok station in Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere (SH). The SH is known for lagging behind the norther hemisphere (NH) for a couple reasons: most co2 emissions come from the NH where most land mass is. The SH is mostly ocean and is a net sink for co2. Co2 absorbs infrared radiation(heat). So, it makes sense that in the NH that heat will be absorbed much more quickly than in the SH. This is why Co2 levels lag behind temp change in the SH but precede temp change in the NH. KZbin channel Potholer54 has a series of videos on this subject if you're interested. It's quite good! 2. Small changes in solar insolation due to Solar Activity and/or Milinkovich cycles. But since these small changes in solar insolation we too small to fully explain the global temperature change, research found that Co2 release was a primary driver of temps. The small changes in insolation caused ice caps/glaciers to melt. Releasing Co2 into the atmosphere. The co2 absorbed more heat and took over the driving force of warming! 3. Would need more info on this question. Not sure what time period you're referring to.

[@Sentinel_Serpents]

All of the pre-"we are all gonna die" narrative driven articles Ive read specifically warn AGAINST attributing climate change to a single variable. And yet here we are, every climatologist parroting that exact narrative: a single variable(co2) causing climate change. Water vapor has a lot to do with climate and the one thing that ice cores DONT measure. If we didnt have a "runaway greenhouse effect" back when co2 was between 4000-5000 ppm, then we wont at 400 or 500 ppm either. The last time it was at 4000ppm was when the dinosaurs were quite abundant. Reptiles are exothermic and their body temps are around 82°F. So reptiles were able to keep body temps around 82°? Kinda goes against the scorched earth boiled oceans narrative doesnt it? How come in 2015 Nasa concluded that the spike in co2 was caused by the amazon rainforest emiyting more co2 which was CAUSED by the rising temps CAUSED by el nino? So rising temps caused more co2. Wait wasnt Obama also vomitting out about climate change being the greatest risk to national security and the hottest year on record back in 2015? Yep he was. Who told him to say that? John Kerry who made 14 million dollars a year doing so. Sounds exactly like this bozo in the video. Parroting the narrative. And for what? Cuz he doesnt see that the policies put in place due to the narrative actually do the exact thing that the "emergency climate crisis" predicts. Because without fossil fuels it would deprive 80% of Americans with literally everything they require for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I wonder how many lives would be lost if they didnt have electricity, or couldnt ship groceries to supermarkets, or couldnt harvest crops, or heat and cool their homes. Cheap and abundant energy sources are what drive inflation down. The fact that there are fossils in antarctica means life can and has survived when there were ZERO glaciers, not just in amtarctica but everywhere on the globe. Destroying energy infrastructure and food supply are war tactics that will kill people that could contribute to innovative technology regarding pollution. I wont subscribe to anyones depopulation agenda. Or as Elon musk would say, "Go fk yourself" And to the OG poster you are not a climate denier or science denier, you are a truth seeker.

Not sure where you spent your 2023 Adam but here in the Midlands it was the wettest and coldest weather I can remember in my lifetime.

I am from north india, usually december and January are considered coldest months but today(18/01/2024) my mom was telling my father that it's hot today, i am worried about summers,how hot are they gonna be? I heared it and felt so tensed that yes she is right We have longer summers, how we'll survive. I feel the non binding agreements that our government signs are useless. As the world is divided into developed,developing and least developed The developed nations should help developing and least develped nations by keeping egos aside and should not ask them to eliminate the use of fossils fuels. In india,my government is taking many initiatives to make a trasition from fossile fuel to clean fuels but we can't achieve this in few seconds because transition takes time,the developed nations have technology but we don't have alternatives but again when climate is changing ,earth is boiling the so called developed also can't hide themselves.

Breaking the curve of emissions will not lead to leas heating right away, bit less drastic increase in heating over time. And less severe weather over time. And less mean temperature over time. Remember the 100 year delay of break down in the atmosphere we are dealing with w. CO2 - that only makes it more urgent to ensure more, better and faster climate action…

[@ddeb4444]

So you are saying the weather in cooler times was less severe? Maybe read some history? Read up on the 17th century, when fun times were being had by all. Every major civilisation was in dire turmoil, because of weather extremes. Right across the planet countries were losing up to 50% of their populations, often more than once. Low CO2 and bitter cold. The Dark Ages were great too. Humans only thrived in warm temperatures. But of course we are only a cancer on this planet, so you should be rooting for multiple tipping points, that you hope will bring on our extinction? And when are you leaving, to go and demonstrate in China?

One of the biggest limitations of the human brain is that we think linearly, it is VERY difficult to internalise compounding scenarios. I wish i could recall some of the analogies which helped me understand XD But Tony Seba, while not explaining compounding (that i know of) uses it in his future projections for 'disruptive technology' progression and it is the sole reason i have hope as our world governments seem to be enslaved to fossil fuels, doing the bare minimum at best so as to avoid uprisings. Im convinced millions will die and life will be survival based for those of us who've never expected to experience that. But thanks to tony seba, i have belief that just enough will happen in just enough time that the world can eventually recover and reverse the damage. It'll be a bottle-neck and we are only able to choose how wide that bottleneck will be with today's actions.

Almost of the systems work ok when they don't reach the saturation; but sometimes the saturation can be reach (slow or fast) and then the breakdown is often simultaneous.

[@jockmoron]

The 1.5 deg "limit" is an artificial rubicon, we really don't know what that means, other than worse then it is now. One thing I find a bit troubling is that it is a fact that the land masses of the northern hemisphere, where most of the population of world live, is warming at twice the rate of the total global temperature. So for most people we have long since passed 1.5 deg C, and within a few decades we could have parts of the northern land mass temperatures beyond human survivability - with consequent massive forced migration and civilisational pressures that we're not equipped to handle.

[@psychosis7325]

Once we stop adding CO2 its going to hang around for a hundred years or so doesn't it? If the associated aerosol emissions also stop which settle out much faster won't there be an additional rise in temperature? Or do you think albedo will ballance out? I have not seen much at all where aerosols are taken into account.
