How manny will keep denying acceleration of global warming is real if this central estimate of global temperature above pre-industrial materializes in 2027?

Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 3d ago

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

And make a list of all the climate scientists claiming we don’t need to immediately cut fossil fuel emissions to zero. Not by 2045, not by 2040, not by 2035. That’s all moronically late - half of us will have died by then. 2029 at the latest.

Capitalism leads to fascism. It is inevitable. And American Liberals don’t understand why. Basic logic is entirely absent in the deluded minds of centrist liberals. Worth watching this short video from @willztalks.bsky.social

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms. That’s just 0.014 percent of his current $702 billion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

The direct impacts of extreme heat will cause thousands of excess deaths every year, and these will increase as the years go by. We can also expect increasingly severe flooding, ruining lives and communities, and making whole regions uninsurable.

Effects of climate change

Climate change is already having visible effects on the world. The Earth is warming, rainfall patterns are changing, and sea levels are rising. These changes can increase the risk of heatwaves, floods...

I have known Le Porge since I was a child. Much of it is now ash. We were warned this would come. We kept burning fossil fuels anyway. Adapting to this is not a plan. Stopping the cause is.

The world is on fire, yet still most of our political leaders doggedly defend business as usual, so emissions continue to rise, and nature to collapse. How can they keep up the pretence that driving us and nature off a cliff is 'acting responsibly'? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Climate chaos in so many places as we reach ~1.5°C of heating and ~427 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere. According to the last UNEP Emissions Gap Report (2025) there is a 75% chance of breaching 2°C with “unconditional NDCs continuing.” Translated: We will cross 2°C Imagine the chaos then.

I've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.
