However bad you think it is, it’s worse.
While the great unwashed seem to think that global warming has slowed, the reality is quite the opposite. In spite of the way these statistics are reported, concentrations of CO2 are increasing in the atmosphere and oceans and the sudden jump in methane is turbocharging climate collapse. And CO2 stays there for thousands of years, as every molecule that spews forth remains. The 1.5° C threshold was a joke all along, but that is well behind us now.
Rapid Warming Drives Massive Flood Increase In Himalayas/Asia
Rising temps have triggered a 25 year increase in flood risk and unpredictability in High Mountain Asia. The study confirms that planetary heating from the burning of oil, coal, and gas is driving the rise in all four of the main types of floods seen in the region.

Sea level rise is increasing 50% faster than 30 years ago.
Since 1880, global sea levels have risen approximately 8–9 inches (21–24 cm), with rates accelerating in recent decades. Between 1993 and 2002, the ocean rose by 24 mm. Over the past decade, that number increased to 36 mm. While 3.6 mm per year seems small, it has already intensified coastal flooding and storm surges. By 2100, over 410 million people could be at risk. climate.gov
