    Many people got the message, however wrong, that it was nothing to worry about for 100 years, and read things like “2.1C” and figured that wasn’t very much.

    Of course, our public education system being dismantled by the billionaires hasn’t helped at all. At least, it hasn’t helped we the poors, they’re getting exactly what they wanted.

      Yeah instead of global average temperatures they should have been telling about the extremes any one particular country might see.

      “X Country will have 60°C summer days before 2050!” Is a lot scarier than 2.1° globally.
