SciShow describes what a 2°C warmer world would look like

While I have been writing about the IPCC report that warned 'code red for humanity' and reacting first optimistically in SciShow says 'There’s Hope in the Latest Climate Report' and more pessimistically in Greta Thunberg reflects on three years of climate activism, I haven't gone in depth recently about what we might avoid if we succeed or expect if we fail. SciShow described that future last year when it asked What Will the World Look Like, 2°C Warmer?

A world only 2°C warmer, or 3.6°F, would be one that is much different than the world we live in today, but what does that actually look like?

Like other videos I've embedded this month, this one connects to Commoner's Laws. Because everything must go somewhere, including greenhouse gas emissions, we are finding out that there is no free lunch when it comes to fossil fuel combustion, as illustrated by the economic effects of a warmer climate on British Columbia's ski industry, and that everything connects to everything else, as heating the atmosphere causes all kinds of other effects on the hydrosphere and biosphere. That makes it a good lesson to teach my students. Welcome to blogging as professional development!
