It has been fascinating watching how all the model predictions have evolved over the last 8 months.

Back at the start of the year, they all figured it would peak at about 2c, now almost every model is over 3c with some well above that.

We aren't as used to this as we used to be due to the higher pace of news nowadays (increasing for decades mind you), but this is something that will unfold over the next year or two and will have a lasting tale that could go may years beyond that.

Thus the predicament of climate change, it moves just slow enough that many can ignore it, but it moves fast enough that the ecosystem is being slammed by it. And the industrial civilization built on top of it? Time will tell how we manage.
