Remember: 1. Arctic sea ice gone by 2025 2. Antarctic ice collapse starts 2026 3. Coral reefs dead by 2027 4. Rainforests dying by 2028 5. 4 billion people lack water: 2029 6. Megacities uninhabitable by 2039 7. Most species extinct by 2049 This couldn't be true. Could it?

Most tropical corals die at 1.5°C (70-90%).
We hit 1.5C in the 2020s:

In 2017, scientists showed that unstoppable collapse of world tropical rainforests due to fragmentation was maybe just several years away, even with relatively minor deforestation. Scientists now say that fragmentation is *increasing*. Already too late?https://phys.org/news/2018-02-theory-physics-fragmentation-tropical-forests.amp …

Water: Four billion living in regions of high water stress by 2030 says the UN, and that doesn't take into account abrupt warming from feedbacks. 600 million people in India alone will have no access to drinking water by 2030 according to a recent report.https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1141763394690789378?s=19 …

In theory we could hit 3.5C by mid-century. There is peer-reviewed science suggesting this. How many species could survive such rapid warming?https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1212010617663565825?s=19 …
