How average and extreme summer temperatures are changing in Western Europe. Graph: Robert Rohde.
This will continue until we reach net zero emissions, whether you like it or not: it’s physics.
@rahmstorf even if we hit net zero it will continue, won’t it? :-/
@flostern @rahmstorf
For a while, yes. It won't stop the minute we do - but if we do it right, things will start to improve slowly in the rest of the system, which will help.
Think back to the lockdown, even that short period made things better for a while....
But yes, it took time to break it, it will take time to fix it, unless we wait too long, then.... Guess everything is fucked

If we manage to hit zero emissions, warming will stop in a matter of years, not centuries.

Glad I decided to pin this post:
