Global #warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year for the first time.
source: https://plantbasednews.org/news/environment/worlds-first-year-long-breach-limit/
This year-long breach does not mean that the world has broken the #Paris #Climate #Agreement #limit, but it does bring it closer to doing so in the longer term. The 1.5C limit is a legally binding 2015 treaty with 195 signatories to set out a path for dealing with climate change.

World’s First Year-Long Breach of 1.5C Limit: What Does It Mean?
The world has breached 1.5C for a year for the first time. This doesn't break the Paris Climate Agreement, but it does bring us closer to itLiam Pritchett (Plant Based News)
“Net Zero by 2050" Get the Joke? - Lannie Rose - Medium
We insiders—by which I mean anyone paying attention — know that the plan to mitigate the climate catastrophe with Net Zero by 2050 is complete bullshit. But maybe you’ve absorbed the knowledge…Lannie Rose (Medium)
This is not planet Earth as we found it. The world we’ve known all our lives is vanishing in front of our eyes.
Human civilization was built upon the certainty of a stable, predictable climate allowing consistently reliable agriculture producing decade after decade of steady economic growth and allowing huge, thriving coastal cities.
But now we're seeing what happens when human industry pumps a *trillion* tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in only a few decades, when we warm the oceans to levels never seen before, and when we threaten the survival of everything that makes our lives possible.
The past is gone. Continue to hope and work for the best, but *prepare* for the worst.

…of billionaires to wreck a planet.
They don’t need to have a majority, or anything even close to a plurality. All it takes is a few thousand sociopathic billionaires — the population of a village — to take full control of everything and then completely ruin our livable biosphere while further enriching themselves.
The scale on the image below is NOT exaggerated. In less than two centuries, and especially just within the last 30 years, capitalist oligarchs have burned so much coal, oil, and gas that our climate system simply can’t handle it.
It’s almost out of control now. But the people who are to blame have names and addresses.

Making the case for emergency climate action - Climate Emergency Declaration
By Jane Morton As climate catastrophe looms ever closer, some opinion leaders still hold fast to the view that we must not mention the seriousness of our plight for fear of demoralising people.Mik Aidt (Climate Emergency Declaration)
Global warming surged in past decade, research says
Human-induced warming was rising at an "unprecedented" rate, new research has again shown. Meanwhile, a look at various countries' commitment to their net-zero plans showed most polluters were lagging behind.Deutsche Welle
Fossil fuels are impoverishing us
IPCC released another climate report. How dire a warning must there be for us to do something about global climate change?cayala (The Hill)
"Most people today are living well within the planetary boundaries. It is only a minority of us who have caused this crisis and who keep driving it forward. The widely popular argument that ‘there are too many people’ is a very misleading one. Population does matter, but it is not people who are causing emissions and depleting the Earth, it is what *some* people do. It is some people’s habits and behavior, in combination with our economic structures, that are causing the catastrophe."
