Oops, Scientists May Have Miscalculated Our Global Warming Timeline

 Oops, Scientists May Have Miscalculated Our Global Warming Timeline
Story by Darren Orf • 2h

The Paris Climate Accords in 2015 set an ambitious (and necessary) goal of keeping global temperatures at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temps. But a study says we might’ve blown past that threshold several years ago.

Scientists at the University Western Australia Oceans Institute studied long-lived Caribbean sclerosponges and created an ocean temperature timeline dating back to the 1700s.

While the study claims that we surpassed 1.5 degrees Celsius in 2020, other scientists question if data from just one part of the world is enough to capture the immense thermal complexity of our oceans.

Whatever your stance is on climate change (it’s real, let’s move on), it’s impossible to have missed the near-ubiquitous call to action to “keep temperatures from exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels.” Over the past few years, the somewhat bureaucratic phrase has become a rallying cry for the climate conscious.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Oops, Scientists May Have Miscalculated Our Global Warming Timeline (the truth is, there never were "calculations."  It was a number pulled out of the air)
 
studied long-lived Caribbean sclerosponges( I've long maintained until sclerosponges were studied, the "science" was questionable.)


capture the immense thermal complexity of our oceans. (Not to mention capturing immense piles of money)

 
the near-ubiquitous call to action(97% of scientists is as big a farce ever perpetrated on the world.  I doubt there are that many who agree on Einstein's Theory of Relativity)


the somewhat bureaucratic phrase has become a rallying cry for the climate conscious.(somewhat bureaucratic?  It's all bureaucratic)
