It all depends on how you count, averages. But the two year average has now passed 1.5C closing in to 1.6C

And this is all too conservative, it's not only about temperatures. Take another look at 'glitter'. While you're doing it you also can take a look at the last two years.

You can also test to search the Conversation for "Global warming"

when I did it, it was only this that came up for 2025. the link under it 2018, and the one under that coming from 2014


Didn't bother to search using "climate change" instead. It was all too obvious

Yes, it's true. What exist is 'climate change'. Like you needing an umbrella to shade yourself as 'nature' does its thing.

Then again, it seems that the site is American those days? The 'official site' that is? And thinking of USA's new Emperor and cohort it might be one reason?

So how about the origin? Which if I remember correctly was Australian? Searching on "global warming"

Seems like global warming disappeared somewhere around 2018?

So we have less food available for us, and food productions, leading to more deforestation and declining aquifers. even though we use machines, artificial fertilizers, gene manipulations and pesticides, trying to produce it in as 'industrial' and large scale manner as possible, all of it following the conveyor belt principle and of course, finding 'profits'. Destroying topsoil, and forest by it.

We can always produce more of the same, up to a limit, where deforestation, topsoil etc moves us over the cliff. So looking at statistics over food productions only, won't tell you the truth

You want sustainability?

First you need to learn how this world interacts, with itself and us.

The simplest thing back to a sustainable world are my recommendations. But those recommendations also the last solution you ever are going to consider.

Where they also will be forced upon us, by 'forces' out of our control, and by that time you only have one option left. The one where you're betting on that someone, somewhere, will survive it.
