Global warming is accelerating.

Global warming is accelerating. Nothing is being done to stop or slow the dangerously rising heat.
If anything, Big Oil, AI tech bros, and the politicians they own have doubled down, going all in to extract as much oil and gas as possible and make as much money as they can before everything falls apart.
Which means we're firmly on the way to 2°C, then 3°C, and quite possibly higher.
_________________________________Last month, UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres warned that the worsening climate crisis meant the world was on course for 3.1°C temperate rise.
His analysis is broadly in line with the consensus among climate experts.
Earlier this year the Guardian surveyed 380 climate scientists who have worked with the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) since 2018, with almost 80% of the respondents expecting at least 2.5°C of global heating by 2100. Almost half anticipated at least 3°C.
All of which makes the new book chapter written by Professor Stefan Rahmstorf [@rahmstorf] a welcome addition to the climate literature.
Published in the book 3 Degrees More, Rahmstorf — the co-head of the Research Department on Earth System Analysis at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research — sets out what a 3°C warmer world will look like.
