Less than 1.5 Degrees Celsius Target: Already Passed That. Fact

Lets overlook the four Category 4/5 cyclones or hurricanes, depending on your verncular, in the Caribbean (Maria, Harvey, Irma and Jose).  In a matter of weeks.  The massive fires in Canada, USA and Europe.  The heatwaves.  All this year.

Lets overlook the Paris Agreement signed when?  Two years ago? With a target to limit the temperature increase from global warming from you and me to less than 1.5 degrees.

Fact:  In Australia, in 2017 it reached 2 degrees higher.  The Guardian has the news:

...........2017 was Australia’s warmest on record for average maximum temperatures, which reached nearly 2C above the winter average and beat the previous record set in 2009 by 0.3C, according to a report released by the Climate Council on Tuesday.





In July alone 72 records were broken for the highest maximum temperature, including in Sydney, which set a record high of 26.5C..............
...........Australia has set new seasonal highs for maximum temperatures 10 times so far this century and the Climate Council report found that more than 260 heat and low rainfall records were broken between June and August this year (2017).....

See the full report here.
By way of background, when Australia's coalition came to power (that is, the Liberals and Rural - better known as the Nationals) they abolished the Climate Commission.  Malcolm Turnbull is the present Prime Minister and his coalition rules by only one seat or member of Parliament. 
At the time the Australian Climate Commission was resourced with some of the leading scientists in the world on Climate Change.
So these leaders, believing the need for independent research must be published in Australia to inform the peoples, they established the Climate Council using cloud sourcing.  Hence their website and research reports.
And the US thinks it has problems with Climate Change responses.  The times they are a changing.  And fast.  Here is the scientific summary of why the extreme weather events are occurring in the US.  No mystery here.

Voters, from anywhere, are not going to keep supporting governments that are willing to let the grandchildren live in a real Hell.

Think this won't happen?  In new and groundbreaking research:  the pace of the change increases the likelihood of a tipping point.  This research studies it over millennia.  Your descendants are toast. and that is within a short space of time.  
Indeed refer to the early posts published of this blog:  stagnation, miflation, etc.  Peak everything has already passed.

This is it.  Its here.  

An Update:  And also in the last few weeks, four significant earthquakes.  Mexico, Vanuatu, Indonesia, and New Zealand south island. 

Are these caused by climate change?  The science is in that they are.
