Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C, leading scientists warn
Leading scientists warn that the Earth may breach the 1.5C warming limit in just three years due to current levels of carbon dioxide emissions. The most recent assessment by over 60 top climate scientists reveals that countries are falling short of the 2015 agreement to limit global temperature rises. Record emissions and deforestation are jeopardizing efforts to mitigate climate change, with the Earth already experiencing record heat. Urgent and stringent emissions cuts are crucial to mitigating the severity of climate change impacts and protecting vulnerable populations.
