The 2015 Paris Agreement had two goals regarding the global average temperature increase above its pre-industrial (1850–1900) level. The first was to set a hard cap to well below 2°C. The second was to try and limit it to 1.5°C". We've now fully blown past the latter, which is something that climate scientists intuited for years and is now substantiated by Copernicus data (https://climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-temperature-october-2024). October was 1.65°C above the pre-industrial level and was the 15th month in a 16-month period for which the atmosphere exceeded the Paris goal of 1.5°C. As to the first goal, it's still work in progress, but it looks like the future got decided in no small part yesterday.

Feels like climate change deniers are a vast majority in the crypto space. Refreshing to see these horrible numbers shared here as well. I know I won't be affected as much as others, so I am hoping the rest of the world doesn't wake up too late.

I think there are less outright deniers in crypto and more hard techno optimists. Though the functional outcome is barely distinguishable; “let’s keep doing what we’re doing”.

I'm on that train as well. Although optimism blends with fatalism. We're not going to change human nature, and exterminating most of the population to save the planet is not an option. It's either radical breakthroughs, or death.
