So far, 27 years of COP meetings have been a complete failure; you can't argue with physics. Anyone saying otherwise has fossil fuels or books to sell. #EmergencyMode

The colors provide an approximate indicator of global mean surface temperature anomaly over the time period. Deepest reds correspond to where we are today (about 1.3°C above pre-industrial). For the actual temp. anomaly plot, here's Berkeley Earth

2020 was nominally the second warmest year on Earth since 1850. It was slightly colder than 2016 but warmer than every other measured year.

@ClimateHuman this information needs pushed to Congress and to the media at every turn. Every avenue we have at our disposal.

Agreed, but I fear they have some naive arrogance that humans and innovation can overcome any hurdle because some humans beat other groups of humans before.

@ClimateHuman And that's just relative to the 1850-1900 average. There was likely up to a further 0.2C rise in the previous century, i.e. from pre-industrial times. So we could already be at 1.5C, just waiting for the 10 year average to catch up.
