The 12 months before July 2024 were more than 1.5 °C warmer than the pre-industrial baseline. Using climate models, the author shows that the first year that exceeds 1.5 °C of warming most probably also occurs within the first 20-year period with an average temperature that exceeds temperature targets.
People won’t listen because they’ve heard something similar for decades now, and for most people in the western world they haven’t really experienced any decline in QoL due to global warming.

I understand the spirit of your point, but I don’t think it is true. If there is one thing that defines the western world at this point I think it might be refusal to acknowledge a clearly plummeting QoL.

I have not experienced any QoL reductions due to global warming. Not any that affects me in a noticeable negative way anyways.
Which reductions in QoL are you thinking of?
