At the same time, the CO2 increase measured at Mauna Loa for 2024 was over 3.5ppm/yr, way up from the ~2.5ppm/yr seen previously this decade[0]

2025 State of the Climate report[1] said (on top of other horrible things)

> A dangerous hothouse Earth trajectory may now be more likely due to accelerated warming, self-reinforcing feedbacks, and tipping points.

I haven't seen hothouse earth mentioned in mainstream papers for a long time (decade+?), as it was deemed unlikely before.

Also The German Physics Society and the German Meteorological Society issued a joint statement warning about the possibility of 3 °C warming by the 2050s[2]

I am actually angry to people that they're irresponsible enough to vote for this without caring about others, but it feels like it was such a horrible timing for all this stupidity as well.
