Global temperature variations over the last 2022 years.

Burning fossil fuels is warming the planet, making extreme heatwaves & heavy rainfall more intense & more frequent with severe consequences for people & ecosystems.

To stop the warming we need to stop burning fossil fuels.

@ed_hawkins The scientific community’s messaging on global climate change has been so intimidated by the fear of overestimating the potential harms and being proved wrong will undermine their credibility, that the warnings tend to the minimum harms expected.. For example, in an Inconvenient Truth we were told of global warming as a danger, but not about the ramifications of this on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). I suspect the possibility was there in the models. What else is, I would like made known. The severe consequences are more than extreme heat and heavy rains, they are loss of food sources worldwide leading to political instability from mass migrations and billions dead. That’s where we’re headed
