    Friendly reminder that the IPCC models have consistently been conservative in their approach, mainly because the reports are influenced by policymakers and a biased committee before they reach daylight.

    You can look this up yourself, there is plenty of criticism from the scientific community.

    IIRC the AR6 said it had high confidence that we would not reach 1.5c before 2030 and medium confidence we would reach it around 2035.

    Because of this I want to say that the 1.5c limit is an arbitrary bullshit number for policymakers to appear as though they’re aiming for a goal.

    There is no safe level of warming, and a large amount of these feedback loops have and may happen because of factors other than ONE fucking number. (E.g Human influence on the Amazon)
