It’s a paywalled article. So now I sadly will never know which frontend to choose.

Looking at recent developments, we will have a few more years of pretending all is normal before it becomes so bad that the looming existential catastrophes will be undeniable for most, if not all.
Then it’ll be too late.
Probably already is.
Time is an illusion.
Lunchtime doubly so.
Here is where the article tells us what to expect probably from next year forward:
A surge of global temperatures that began this summer provided an initial picture of how a planet 1.5 degrees hotter will look: Unprecedented heat at the limits of human survival. Antarctic sea ice astonishingly far below its record minimum. Devastating floods, fires and other weather extremes that have been linked to climate change.
This is where we stand:
The team of scientists projected that the temperature of the planet could consistently exceed the 1.5C threshold within seven years if emission levels hold.
A large part of earth’s population is in for a rough ride. To put it mildly.
I mean… this could realistically be made.
