That seems… very low?

It might sound low, but consider that this number is a distillation of many changes into one proxy which roughly covers a variety of different effects that aren’t strictly related to just temperature.

For example, consider ocean acidification.

Also consider the number of tipping points and positive feedback loops that exist. How close are we to those?
