These instrument readings serve as a stark reminder of our current trajectory.
They not only reflect our past and present actions but also foreshadow a future dictated by them - ie a world that has heats to between 2.1-3.5ºC
It is only when these figures begin to reverse that we can confidently say our efforts to change course are effective.
Pay attention to the instruments!
