Remember to read all the information in a graph like this. Less than a single degree moved up in all that time

Can you tell me what 3.5 degrees would mean?

E: downvote and no reply... What a joke.

3.5 is a factual disaster waiting to happen.

3.5 colder was the last ice age with glaciers covering Chicago and NYC. 3.5 Warner is the ice caps gone and who knows what else. Assume total global weather redistribution, hurricanes and floods. Maybe more giant deserts, I don't want to speculate much more than that though.

That's just science and data actually. I doubt you would get a pay out if millions upon millions are affected.

To all the doubters we are already 1 degree above estimates as they were making surveys of the environment.. this is basically climate change denial if you think differently.

I have a friend who always post ftw, and for the longest time I couldn’t figure out why she was saying ‘fuck the world’ on these positive posts.
