Earth surpasses critical 2-degree warming threshold, European climate officials say

For the first time since record keeping began, Earth has surpassed a critical temperature threshold that scientists have long warned could unleash the worst effects of climate change.

On Friday the planet soared 2.07 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, or the 1850 to 1900 average, according to Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.

Not all hope is lost, however. The Fifth National Climate Change Assessment, released last week by the White House, underscored that every fraction of a degree of warming added or averted will make a difference.

Everything they are saying about temperature levels could be true. The big question is, why should we believe this:

Earth has surpassed a critical temperature threshold that scientists have long warned could unleash the worst effects of climate change.

The implication is that all scientists say that, which is baloney. Which scientists have warned that and how exactly did they come up with that? It was likely some computer model. Is the model demonstrated to be correct? I guarantee the answer is no. Does anything validate the model?

Related thread: What happened to evidence-based science?
"Like the severe drought and warm period in Europe in 1540 when temperatures were 9–13 degrees above today’s average during the little ice age?"
How can a 2 degree increase from some arbitrarily set average kill us, when 500 years ago higher temperatures did not? It can't.

Shudder! If the temp goes up by THREE DEGREES, the entire planet may break into 70’s disco music.
The stupidity never ends.
