That could be twelve years of utterly apocalyptic weather we might not survive. Just saying. Nobody knows how bad that could get, but do you think we could survive over a decade where the outdoor temperature is, on average, 200°F?
One of those animals could be the human species, or at least our idea of what that represents.
- zaroth 10y agoWhat is this nonsense? The worst case models predict a 10-20 degree increase by 2100.
- flukus 10y agoThe models don't rely on the silly assumption that all the permafrost would melt and release it's methane instantly.
- astrodust 10y agoA) That's 10-20°C, not °F. We're already seeing temperatures of 120°F (49°C) in parts of the world, so another +20°C puts that at 156°F (69°C). I'm not exaggerating all that much. B) The projections keep getting more pessimistic as more data is accumulated. C) We're talking about the theoretical worst-case scenario where everything spirals completely out of control and Venus starts to look like a temperate climate.
