    This is such a contentious paper, academics fighting over whether that’s the accurate way to record or measure changes in temperature as we were in a particularly cold period and we shouldn’t be counting before we were dumping more CO2 into the environment and yet, any data is good data and should give us a more complete look at our scenario.

    That being said I get why people would want to argue that we aren’t past 2° or are past 2° for personal belief reasons and that adds a personal spin to this paper for those reading it. I think the line doesn’t really matter as much as the response and the current situation.

    The response has been fighting and no action and the current situation is if you are rich you can ignore it. So that’s not great.
