waiting for all the “well we really haven’t breached it till we see multiyear it might be a blip”. Its a full year. that is more than enough. I would say we really breached it before 2023.

Here in Seattle we have trees blooming early February. We’ve hit mid 50’s several weeks in a row. It’s just so weird.

On the other hand, most folks are happy it’s not freezing outside. 🤔

I wish people would stop using words like “symbolic”. This isn’t a symbol. Calling it one threatens to dilute the message.

It was symbolic though, as welll as based on evidence. The world’s commitment to take action to avoid breaching the barrier was a symbol of united, global political action. The fact that we have failed… and failed ahead of predictions is of course deeply worrying.
