Misleading stories, but the threshold is still just 22 years away


Just 22 years stands between what we have today and what we will have after crossing a climate threshold.

A story published by Scientific American headed: “Earth will cross the climate danger threshold by 2036” tells us that the rate of global warming may have hit a plateau, but a climate crisis still looms in the near future.

The Scientific American article points to seriously misleading articles in several stories published by various international media, but added: “Global warming continues unabated and it remains an urgent problem.”

It reports: “Most scientists concur that two degrees C of warming above the temperature during pre-industrial time would harm all sectors of civilization – food, water, health, land, national security, energy and economic prosperity.”
