James Hansen says limit will be passed ‘for all practical purposes’ by May though other experts predict that will happen in 2030s

What this means in practice is that we enter a minefield where we start to lose major ecosystems as temperatures continue to rise.

This makes it incredibly important to do everything we can to limit the amount of additional warming we see; each 1/10 of a degree adds to the risk.

    We felt it here in the states, too. We (where I live, not far from Canada) were dealing with the smoke down here most of the summer, praying for rain up there to put the fires out. We ended up spending most days looking at the air quality reports and watching which way the wind was blowing to see if we had to stay inside or not.

    It fucking sucks.
