I know this graph as well, but i've always been suscipicious of the "hockey stick with multiple lines" in the end. Seems like it has been heavily critized as well : https://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/09/20/josh-takes-on-xkcds-c... I'm pretty sure climate change is an extremely complex subject, but i must say the "simple" data tells a story that's so different from what seems to say the majority of professionals working in the field that it makes me a bit nervous. |

IME when it comes to climate change, where there's smoke, there's fire. It's tempting to let yourself go and get wrapped by a nice "it'll all work out because they're either wrong or lying" narrative. I certainly wish everyone on earth who says climate change is happening was either wrong or lying.
But the truth is hard and sucks hard. I remember even five years ago seeing an image of a French meteorologist doing the weather forecast for August 2050. high 30s / low 40s everywhere. I remember this vividly, the prospect shocked me.
Here's the image I'm talking about, alongside the real french weather forecast for the last week of July 2019: https://i.redd.it/c37bdoqu4nd31.jpg
Let it sink in that things are progressing off-the-charts rapidly.
