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.

The atmospheric rivers shifted hurricane season to a timeframe yet to be announced. They already published the new USDA agricultural zones chart this year. It had remained the same for the past 100 years and was not fitting the climate change narratives, so they just tweaked the numbers to avoid being in conflict with the political religion of climate change.

How was the average temperature of the Earth calculated in 1850?

How dare you talk reasonably about this and offer actual facts. How dare you! Greta doesn’t like that.

Not even very accurate measurements are being taken

OK, suppose 'very accurate' measurements (of what) are possible.

Explain to me the meaning of "the temperature of the Earth".

“2-degree warming threshold”

Really? Are they sure it isn’t 2.195 or 1.936? Exactly 2.000?

Nothing in nature comes out to nice round numbers. Round number are a sure sign of BS.

Your suggestion is intuitive but not how thermodynamics work.
I wondered about that too and someone schooled Me on the tradeoffs involved.

The temperature of the earth AT EVERY POINT On the Earth is unpredictable.

I love how they're blaming everything now...from cow farts to gas stoves....

Mother Nature is going to bite them in the butt.

People act like the earth was barren in 1850...and nothing was happening.

I moved from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. That’s probably a 20 degree (F) temperature increase, and I’ve suffered no ill effects.
