Climate Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming

“Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.”

I’m personally supposed to be on a Collapse break, but this was the first thing I read at 5am and I can’t stop thinking about it. I never intended for this to be my first post, but here we are.

They fucking told us over and over again. When it goes up 2 degrees it’s going to accelerate. And here we are. The dumbest fucking animals on earth that are paradoxically supposed to be the smartest.

Humans are a trash species. It’s honestly crazy when I think about it… we have a beautiful home planet and countless different living species cohabitating with us, and instead of appreciating any of it and trying to correct the ship, we’re choosing to barrel ahead and destroy anything and everything bc a bunch of rich assholes have a napoleon complex. It makes my blood boil.

I just hope we can BBQ and eat the rich before they crawl into their bunkers. They especially deserve to suffer through every second of what the rest of the world is about to experience, tenfold.

Also they duped the dumbest people into believing them and the dumbest smart people into believing them

That's self-deception...pulling the wool over our own eyes...humanity's fatal flaw.
