The louder the wake up call that fails to provoke a response, the deeper the sleep.  Could we approaching a state of communal coma?

Hi Robert,

Yes there's amnesia about the acceleration in global warming, as there is about the Arctic tipping points, and the need for SRM.  They need to be quickly awoken to the danger which they are denying before it is too late to avoid catastrophe.  My submission to the EU has this in mind.  Please make one yourself.

In Ron's summary, he put 2C by 2040, 3C by 2050 and 4C by 2100.  The 3C should come about halfway between the other two, 2070, shouldn't it, if the 0.35C per decade is maintained.  If there's acceleration, the three temperatures would come even sooner!

Cheers, John

This paper is also reviewed at https://phys.org/news/2026-03-reveal-significant-global.html

 

The acceleration of warming is an important finding but Rahmstorf’s claim "How quickly Earth continues to warm ultimately depends on how rapidly we reduce global CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels to zero" totally undermines any policy impact by promoting a fantasy policy.

 

I made this graph of the acceleration of warming.  This shows big jumps from 2011 and 2021, not 2015 as suggested by the paper.
