I’m not denying that it’s bad, I know it’s bad and a horrible thing, but I wanna know how changes that are only 1.5° affect it so much and matter so much.

This change can be absolute critical in some cases. -.5C and water is ice, heat that by 1.5° and it’ll become water. That can mean that polar bear has to wake up earlier by a week or two but the other nature is not awake, so he has to starve longer, burn energy and won’t be able to preserve as much as needed for the next winter.

Also, if it’s 1° every year it means in 10 years it’ll be 10° hotter!
