The world has already warmed by about 1.1C since the industrial era began
Where does the 1.1C figure come from? It’s about 1.5C for the past years and 1.3-1.4C for the multi-year average.
The only page where I found something starting with 1.1C is here (https://science.nasa.gov/earth/explore/earth-indicators/global-temperature/)
Global temperatures in 2025 were cooler than 2024, with average temperatures of 2.14 degrees Fahrenheit (1.19 degrees Celsius) above the 1951 to 1980 average.
But 1951-1980 is obviously not “since the industrial era began”.
On the one hand, news and information are important. We need them as a basis for action.
On the other hand, I feel that news are often shared with the hope that someone else will act according to the new information. This applies to scientists, journalists and also posters on social media. This is a very logical assumption. Unfortunately, the action part is sadly much smaller than we had hoped. However, I feel many people (especially scientists) get completely stuck in the logic that information leads to action and try to combat that by sharing even more information, researching for even more details etc.
Instead we should embrace action and invite others to join. However, this somewhat conflicts with the pseudonymity of lemmy. But it may be easier on other platforms, where people more easily share their real identity (mastodon, pixelfed, loops and their commercial counterparts).
It’s probably both (if social media refers to the prevalent centralized social media designed for ad revenue).
