EXCERPT:
MASON: “You say that, Jeff, this is a symbolic marker. Why?”
BERARDELLI: “Yeah, because, I mean, humans chose it. We chose 1.5. We chose 2 degrees. So, again, it’s not a tipping point. It’s not like we’re going to fall off a cliff. It’s just that things will get progressively worse and worse at a faster clip as we head toward that. We’ll see bigger hurricanes, we’ll see worse floods, we’ll see worse wildfires, and we’re probably setting ourselves up for a pretty bad wildfire season in the west this year.”
