in the last interglacial period 125,000 years ago right about the time other scientists think humans etched the first symbol on to bone and started wearing shells as decorations and broke the period record on july 3rd, the day before. for more than four decades we ve been taking this global temperature, an average from all sorts of data points around the world and think of it as a thermometer for the planet telling us we are spiking a serious fever and started to breach the threshold surpassing the target for global warming set by experts and policy makers decades ago. you may have heard this number to be a warning, 1.5 degrees celsius above what s called preindustrial levels, that is before we started burning fossil fuels and pushing tons of carbon into the atmosphere. the thing about that number, it doesn t sound like much. it s about 2.7 degrees fahrenheit which is closer to
