Florian U. JehnIn the last few days the news focused a lot on the fact that #2024 was the first year where we went above #1.5°C. This made me want to highlight a paper again where I was the main author in 2022. In this paper we looked at what temperatures the #IPCC reports focus at and we showed that over the last few assessment reports the focus went to lower and lower temperatures, with the last assessment report focusing most on 1.5°C of warming. This means we produce the most research for a temperature range that we already passed for the first time this year. As the warming won't suddenly stop tomorrow, this means we are aiming our research in the wrong direction. I hope for future assessment reports we will again focus more on the temperature range we actually are speeding towards.
