• We are plus 0.2 °C ahead the forbidden threshold. This is why you are feeling the heat.

These days, it is too hot to be outside. Day time temperatures seem so high, that it hinders normal activities. But do you know why this is happening? Let me break down for you a prediction from one American anthology miniseries, that explains this phenomenon.

The film ‘Extrapolations’, created by Scott Z. Burns for Apple TV+, depicts how the world would come to a breaking point due to the effects of climate change.

Although the film did not feature the aspect of burning of fossil fuels as an accelerator of the climate crisis, it indicated how persistent environmental pollution would eventually cause a catastrophe.

We have experienced floods, droughts and hurricanes before. However, this time, it would be impossible to come out from these disasters, hinting at an extinction of every inhabitant of Earth.

The series, that premiered on March 17, 2023, depicts that the process of earths ‘extinction’ is slow but gradual.

The creators depicted that the extrapolations would unfold roughly 15 years from now. However, recent spike in global temperatures indicate that the prophecy would come true sooner.

According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), January 2025 was 1.75°C warmer than the pre-industrial average. This exceeds the limit that had been set by the Paris Agreement.

Paris Agreement, signed by global leaders in 2015, sought to strengthen the global response to climate change.

They reaffirmed then, to limit global temperature increase to below 2°C, while pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 °C.

However, we are plus 0.2 °C ahead the forbidden threshold. This is why you are feeling the heat.
