The preindustrial cadence of rural life, a time before the invention of Dusen Dusen pepper grinders and frozen lasagna, is what the tradwives of Instagram are channeling, though they can muster only a shallow simulacrum of it.

“A single year with temperatures 1.5° C above preindustrial levels does not mean we’ve reached 1.5° C of global warming,” Rogelj said.

The global mean temperature also rose to nearly 1.5 degrees above the preindustrial level, another record.

Earth has already warmed 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit since the preindustrial era and is on track to heat up a total of 4.7 to 5.6 degrees.

Keeping the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide below 450 parts per million is necessary to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels and prevent some of the most dire consequences of climate change, scientists say.
