How comes most people aren't terrified by this, especially as we are probably going to hit +2C this year? I suppose that they either don't know about it or don't understand it.
Here is the full video.
Johan Rockström mentions that in the last 3 million years (i.e. since the time of australopithecus) Earth has never reached +2°C compared to the historic pre-industrial average. So the climate that we are going to experience from later this year, when we are going to exceed +2°C for the first time, and for the rest of our lives as there is no going back, is something that no hominid has ever experienced before. Just take a minute and reflect a bit about this.
For future reference keep in mind that during the whole Holocene Earth's temperature was 14°C ±0.5°.
