This is about the issue the increases of the earth’s temperature in the past (Dimitry’s Post).
In Chapter 2.24 of the Climate Book Tamsin Edwards (Climatologist - City College London) the last time global temperatures were 2,5 Degree warmer that the pre-industrial times in our era was 3 million years ago. That’s the time of early bipeds like the famous Australopithecus. 2 million year before the Homo-Habilis (First tool making man-like creatures).
Edwards does not believe the 1,5 Target of the Paris Agreement can be reached. But he does not believe in the apocalyptic 4 C increase by the end of the century either. He thinks rapid action will probably put us to a climate that is around 2 C hotter than pre-industrial times. With serious challenges awaiting us, but not entirely pessimistic and hopeless like the 3 to 4 C hotter than pre-industrial time scenario.
By the way: Our hearts are with the people of Maui. Best of luck if you happen to be on that island.
