1/This is a thread about metallurgy's secret cheat code, and how it's used by the aerospace industry to accomplish things that no material should.
In particular, how that cheat code is enabled on the humble, but amazing, jet engine turbine blade.
If we had started reducing emissions in 2000 the world would have had a gentle slope downward to limit warming to well-below 2C.
23 years later we face a steep decent to limit warming to 2C, and a near-cliff to achieve 1.5C without substantial net-negative global emissions
Excellent piece from @ClimateComms & @MichaelEMann on the heat wave & need for #ClimateAction:
"In a disturbing twist on 'The Hunger Games' blessing, the odds will not ever be in our favor going forward, unless we rapidly slash heat-trapping emissions."
