You Know That Terrifying Global Warning Threshold They've Been Worried About for a Decade? Climate Change Is Speeding Up So Much That Now We're Due to Cross It In Just Over a Year
Fuck the older generations who never were going to accept investing in any way in the future until it was already way too late, you will be remembered for generations to come as traitors.

The problem is the hope.
It's way too late the save the world. But it's still possible to read a few more books before we die of heat stroke in a labor camp!
I can't even be mad because you're right
Oh, Jesus. Go outside. This doomer shit is so lame.
Just because something is lame doesn't mean it isn't true
Just because something is accepted on a niche nerd social media website doesn’t mean it’s true.

Cool comic
The United Nations is a niche nerd social media website?
The United Nations isn’t claiming all humans will die in the next few years.
No, they just said that we are going to break 1.5° very soon and 2° not long after that, and that many people will indeed die when that happens.
I also don't like doomerism, but ignoring reality isn't healthy either.
What did they say that wasn't true though?
That we’re all going to die of heat stroke in labor camps.
Yeah thats absurd. Plenty will die of starvation, mass migration, and over exposure.
How does one die of migration?
Much better!
Doomer shit. Yeah, it’s bad, but admitting defeat is just as bad. Go outside.
That'll fix it.
It might fix their broken brain.
That's mean. I'm not sharing my smuggled book with you in the labor camp. :|
I’ll keester some reader’s digests and trade you cigarettes for books
Too hot outside
Good joke! You put a lot of effort into that one.

Ever heard of "grim humour"?
The Atlantic current is going to collapse soon. It’s going to be really really bad after that
3.0°c by 2050.
If I'm wrong I'll eat my shoe.
You think you are real clever don't you? We ALL know eating your shoe at that point will be easy, it will be liquid so you can just mix it up with some milk and protein powder and down it one go.
I never did say what my shoes are made of.
Hey can I walk for a little while in your shoes? I will give them back.

Not to worry, if humans don't take care of the climate problem, the climate will take care of the human problem.
The billionaires don't want human servants anymore.
Tamino has a blog post on this as well, there are sizeable error bars from the study but as he says
https://tamino.wordpress.com/2026/10/17/how-fast-is-earth-warming-2/
the "solution" to human entitlement appears to be climate change.
wow, ecofascism speed run right here. "Humans," deserve it? Human entitlement? You sure there isn't something more specific than that which doesn't also construct humanity in a way where colonized people who have fought this the entire fucking time aren't naturally deserving of suffering because of some innate, human behaviour that they must also have?
Yes, I'm sure it feels like "strawmaning" or unfair or whatever because you don't mean to say that, but this is the narrative you just accepted. Think about who would benefit the most from that narrative, those colonized people, you, or the fucks who actually have power in this system and intend to commit even further genocide on colonized peoples to keep this all going? Which one of those three would most benefit from the assertion that this is a result of "human entitlement," and not a specific system built to benefit a narrow group of people?
"Human" entitlement? There are a small handful of "humans" who are responsible for this, and they could all fit in a small church.
"You know vaguely ominous orb? Well, you'll be shocked to see it now!"
Dogshit title, fuck clickbait.
El nino is cranking up the dial. This is what we get for not putting the destructive ones in their place.
Let's put it this way: there are negative feedback loops too. One of them is consequences reaching those who contribute most to BAU (and I don't mean only the wealthy.)
We have to insist and point much louder, otherwise conservatives will push more scapegoating to maintain BAU.
The conservative hive mind goes like this.
Every time climate change comes up my parents are like "we need to get smart people working on it so we can figure out what to do!!!" And every time I say "we already know what to do though we're just doing the literal exact opposite." They always say well we can't do that, solar and wind actually cost more to make, and all solar money is defrauded, as well as all the other conspiracies. Guess we'll just keep hurtling towards the cliff because turning would cost us more in the short term! A smart person will figure out how to make us not fall.
Not just older generations. Current gen tech bros, current gen oil barons, everyone who voted Republican or whatever British parties are their oil lords.
Fuck ever denialist with a rusty spoon strapped to a cactus
As I like to tell people, when the world is on fire be the one at the braai. It doesn't mean we are ignoring the problem, but life is too short to stress. Positive thinking. We will get through this. Always do.
I don't mean to rain on your parade, but who is we? A lot of people in the global south are going to die from this.
It was a royal we.
Bold of you to assume anyone will survive to remember them.
oh we will survive, only to fuck it even more
Beat me to it. Cheers!
This is fine. (NASA visualization of annual global average temps over time)
The spiral version (on the same page) is a more dramatic one.
Stupid Americans keep voting Republicans in what do you expect?
The world as a whole isn't taking this issue seriously. Your countrymen in Alberta sound a lot like MAGA to me, especially when it comes to oil and gas production.
Ya we aren’t all that enthralled with them at the moment either.
