I'm curious about the scientific consensus continually undershooting. At a certain point, if you're always updating in one direction, shouldn't you overcorrect a bit?

the scientists made their models taking human behavior into account, but they've mistakenly modeled hunan behavior off of rational, informed individuals
We're gonna reach 6 degrees, aren't we?
Instead of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, it'll be 6 degrees and we're all bakin'
Living in a boring country weather-wise, I am not looking forward to ecological, political etc effects of climate change...but it was our best May on record.
At this rate that is just the start.
As stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.
I'd argue that they wouldn't know what the danger is anyways.
To the people who need reaching about this, any number will be scary and confusing…
The heat index in my city right now as I type this comment is 42C/107F. And summer is just starting. This is gonna suck.

Governments and companies are probably going to spend a lot of money on weather manipulation.
The could also spend a lot of money on transitioning to green energy too. But it's cheaper to spend on people manipulation. Everything is fine, it's always been this way!
