1.5°C is a symbolic boundary. It was agreed to not be broken in the Paris agreement in 2016. Not even ten years later, it is broken for the eigth consecutive month and in the yearly average. It will be broken permanently in 5-10 years. It is a symbolic boundary because it is an arbitrary number and every tenth of a degree matters. We still need to support climat action even if it is broken. But it is also a symbol of political incompetency and fossil fuel malice.

Posting and liking memes is great, but real change comes from actions. If you are as concerned as we are about climate change, please consider joining or supporting climate activists near you. Here are some good starting points for anyone interested:

There's no stopping this warming. You have to get ALL governments and corporations on board to spend an ungodly amount. There's going to be cheaters and our slaps on the wrist aren't going to save us. Until we see the devastation in our literal back yard, we'll sleep.

We just need another supervolcano eruption to offset the global temperature increase. Does throwing a nuke into an active volcano work?

If you have nukes you don't need a volcano, just nuking the ground will throw up enough dust.
Volcanos often release CO2, only some ground does.

Volcanic winter might be a bit more preferable than nuclear winter.

Hey is that you Trump?

I asked about this, and the answer is basically that "we're 99% sure 1.5C is dead; we won't be 100% until El Niño is over".

The amount of people not understanding climate timespans, models and pathways is too damn high.
