Uh, so how's that "limit warming to 1.5°C" target coming along?

Global average temperatures from January to September were 1.4 C higher than 1850-1900, almost breaching the 1.5 C warming goal of the 2015 Paris Agreement, C3S reported.
That threshold is seen as essential to avoid the most catastrophic consequences of climate change.

FUCK

Don't worry, humanity is reaping massive profits. Well, actually, a tiny little group is reaping the benefits before dying and leaving all future generations with a burning hellscape, but THINK OF ALL THE MONEY THEY ARE MAKING NOW!
