Honest question, how is 1 degree not in some kind of normal range or within measurement error?
- thehappypm 7y agoRoom temperature is about ~300 Kelvin (and of course 1 degree Celsius is 1 degree Kelvin). Temperatures rising by 1 degree Celsius is about .3% average absolute temperature increase. It's hard to imagine that over 150 years, a change of .3% is particularly significant.
- keanzu 7y agoOdd way to measure it, starting from absolute zero. If we take extremely conservative numbers and say the current average temp is 0C and death is certain at 100C then we moved 1% closer. I suspect some krazy kooks might suggest that the Earth would be uninhabitable long before 100C is attained.
