Three individual years of high global average temperatures will be enough for scientists to conclude the 1.5°C climate goal is lost.
newscientist.com
The aim to limit global warming to 1.5°C is based on long-term average temperatures, but analysis shows that if three years cross the threshold, it is almost certain that the target has been missed

Gems in this pants story: "...straight-leg vintage Levi’s 501s—something like the Greenwich Mean Time of modern pants." "There are some reasons to be bullish about the chances of mainstream big-pants hegemony." "Your capacity for stupidity is how you know you’re still alive."
My new @nytmag cover story is about “the binoculars into the soul” My pitch was one word long PANTS https://t.co/3nrx7X2hgz

For reference, here's a four-storey building in Toronto next to a three-storey house. What do we think, is the one on the left a tower?
To confuse matters even more: Premier Doug Ford says "you have to differentiate between putting 4 units in an existing house, or your neighbour tearing down a house and putting a 4-storey tower." #onpoli
