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.

People are getting wise to the crippling cost of embracing “net zero”, and are also beginning to doubt the expertise of the experts.

So the population control propaganda department must dial up the scary hyperbole to try to frighten the sheep into the trap.

I don’t think it’s going to work.

[Deo volente]

I’m still waiting for the new ice age they predicted back in the 1970’s. What happened with that?

"Not all hope is lost, however."

Nope. There are still TRILLIONS of DOLLARS to be had with this scam.

Copernicus is not a government entity. It is a pay for hire NGO who will dish up alarming stories on demand.

Send more money💰💰💰.

The temp will decrease if you send more money, lots more money. 🙄

Awesome! A little more room away from the next ice age. Rhetorically, are all these fidiots actually this Stoopid? Short answer....yes! Long answer.....yes!

Aw, hell. I had “Thursday” in the office pool.

One should always read to the end paragraphs of these doom stories, to uncover truth behind the propaganda...

Researchers have also posited that last year’s eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano in the South Pacific may be contributing to extreme warming this year. The eruption shot record amounts of heat-trapping water vapor into the atmosphere.

That was a really big deal in the late 60’s. We were all going to die. Some of us did.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Hurricane season has been unusually quiet. No global warming to be found. They better recalibrate their slide rules.

[DennisR]

You are trying to talk truth and reality to morons, aren’t you? 🙄

[blackdog]

If you create a bureaucracy, it will build an empire all on propaganda and fear. Once it’s large enough to launder insane amounts of money, there is no getting the Genie back in the bottle.

[Persevero]

Aaaand everything’s fine

[lastchance]

That means I must be dead. Pity.

[caver]

BS!

No one knows the temperature in 1850.

oh well, its too late, so now we can relax and enjoy ourselves :)

Climate change is here have no doubt
Too much rain too much drought

Run in circles scream and shout

It’ll cook your brain and freeze your feet
Too much rain too much heat

Snow coming soon no relief in sight
Tornados and floods you better run for your life

Climate change is here better hide in fear.
They need our money or it gets severe
Too much rain, too much drought
Run in circles, scream and shout

I thought 98.6 was the norm.

Would it help to leave my fridge door open?

Yes, it would. And, I'll help by reversing all my window air conditioners, pointing the inside side to the outside side.

Nancy Pelosi does. I believe she was eight years old at the time.
