Using the Greenland Ice Cores, we know with 100% certainty that temperatures for the last 800K years have fluctuated 6C as CO2 levels have fluctuated about 100ppm. How much temperature increase do you think we are going to get from a 140ppm CO2 increase?

Do you really think it's going to only be 2C?

If you do, why?

What if I tell you the paleoclimate data shows that the last time CO2 levels were at 400ppm the Earth was 4C warmer than our 1950-1980 baseline. Not 1.2C, or 1.5C, or even 2.0C, but a full 4C warmer.

At 560ppm the Earth was 6C warmer.

At 1000ppm the Earth was 9C warmer.

At 2000ppm (the most it has been in 600my) the Earth was 14C-16C warmer.

That's what the paleoclimate data indicates. We have been monumentally stupid assuming that 560ppm would probably only warm the planet by 3C. The real physical data indicates we were off by a lot with our models.

The data from the Argo floats also shows we got the amount of heat in the ocean wrong. The oceans are 40% hotter than we thought they would be. Again, our models were flawed and we are now getting reality checks on them showing how much we were off.

The next five years are going to be the hottest in human history. We are going to have a massive heat spike similar to the 1880 episode. I am forecasting global deaths of 800 million to 1.5 billion by 2028.

We are already at 1.8C of warming from the 1850 baseline. We are warming at a rate of 0.36C per decade since 2015 and are going to hit 4C by around 2060.

The Climate Apocalypse has already started. It's just happening slowly right now. By this time next year, everyone will know it.
