IPCC Report Analysis: What it'll take to avert an impending global warming fiasco
We are almost, but not completely, out of time to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C, the report warns. Part One discussed why impacts rise disproportionately fast for the 0.5ºC rise detailed in the report. The report makes two important points: Global temperatures are unlikely to rise by 1.5ºC due only to greenhouse gases emitted until today. For instance, frozen soils near the Arctic may rapidly thaw above a certain temperature threshold abruptly releasing a vast amount of CO2 and methane greenhouse gases that would accelerate global warming. Its message is both simple and clear: Even a small additional rise in global temperature leads to disproportionate negative impacts in almost every conceivable dimension measuring human and nature’s health.
