I think I’m going to need to find another resource to link as an explanation for the BOE, the rest of that site is giving misinformation vibes and fact checking that will take longer than I care to spend. Thanks for pointing this out.
Which bit? I found nothing saying 18c by 2026 on the boe page. 1.6c by 2026 is there. And so is a sentence saying that altogether after the boe there could be as much as 18c rise in temp.
Scientists are on it. Everybody have HOPE! We can fix it! Carry on eating meat, recycling and having children, and just remember- DON’T LOOK UP! (And pay no attention to the rest of this comment.)
A huge amount of polar ice has melted this year and a massive amount of carbon has been released into the atmosphere from the wildfires , on top of the huge amounts from industrial pollution.
More carbon in the atmosphere means more heat in the next few years.
5 more years as hot as 2023, and we’ll have less than 100,000 sq km of polar ice left, the oceans will be absorbing the massive amounts of solar radiation that the ice had previously reflected, and will start releasing massive amounts of methane clathrate from the sea floor. This is called the Blue Ocean Event. And is also known as the Clathrate Gun Hypothesis.
To add to all this terribly offensive fearmongering: There are over 8 billion people on earth and global fresh water reserves will be 40% over capacity by 2030, and 90% of global top soil and arable land is ‘at risk’ of depletion by 2050. (‘At risk’ is in quotes to highlight it’s a conservative estimate from the UN.)
.
If anyone does actually have proper scientific evidence that there is reasonable cause for hope in our ability to ‘fix’ climate change, I’m all ears and would very much appreciate it, because from where I’m sitting it just looks like if magically the blue ocean event and clathrate gun don’t go off and end us first, the drought and famine will shortly after.
It will be a few more than that. The global demand for fresh water will be 40% over capacity by 2030, if we even make it that long.
We’re losing massive amounts of polar ice daily and if the next 5 years are as hot as 2023, the Blue Ocean Event will happen in 2027.
