Basically high test copium that this is all some oscillation-driven once-in-a-blue-moon thing that doesn't represent the actual climate sensitivity and that it'll all just go away on its own and Follow the Science back to +1.1C or whatever we're supposed to be at now in the fantasy world where we stay under 1.5 by the end of the century.

this is rank pedantry but i object to The Economist's headline. Those graphs do not help explain 2024's freakish temperatures, they merely document it.

*soothing, slightly sexy voice* How must it have felt, to be a person living at the time, watching all of society crumble around you

"their agricultural production was dependent upon the condition of the deteriorating soil, and the previously steady climate that had become too hot and dry for the seasonal rains, and within a generation, all of their cities would lay abandoned"

It was only slightly more ostrich-like than today. I've read more than once that the past year is El Niño anomaly and isn't actually actually 1.5C and actually we might still be able to keep things below 1.5C.

So, lol

it's el nino, it's supposed to be over 365 straight days of record sea surface temperatures
