> We are well-prepared for a few more degrees K, but they are not expected during the next century or so. This is just flat out false, considering we have gone from 0 to 1 degree of warming in ~35 years; 40, if you're generous. We are well on track for at least another 2 degree warming by end the century.

> we have gone from 0 to 1 degree of warming in ~35 years; 40, if you're generous. Because it got colder between 1950 and 1975. See: > The Earth is generally regarded as having warmed about about 1° C (1.8° F) since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, around 1750. In 2017, two professional papers generated much debate in both the popular press and professional literature about whether this figure is correct. Schurer, et al. argued the rise is 1.2° C (2.2° F) and Millar, et al. claimed the rise is 0.9° C (1.6° F). https://www.forbes.com/sites/uhenergy/2018/09/07/exactly-how-much-has-the-earth-warmed-and-does-it-matter/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/uhenergy/2018/09/07/exactly-how...
