Yay, we reached the 1.5° goal ahead of schedule!
I think they recently mentioned we’re a little above ~1.7°
Hey I remember when we were supposed to pass that until 2100...
And 2050...
1.5 is so 2020. The new limit is 2.0.
So it started as a limit to not surpass. Now it's a state we should be trying to get back to. Yippee . 😠
