Scientists issue dire warning about climate change
Posted by Josh Taylor / October 12, 2018
Scientists are freaked out about global warming. Previously, scientists suggests that if we could keep the planet from warming past 1.5C, we could manage it. Unfortunately, we’re on the way to doubling that. The latest report, a 33-page Summary for Policymakers, is a kind of last-warning for a world on the brink of peril.
The key piece of this article is this two-paragraph chunk:
“The researchers have used these facts and numbers to paint a picture of the world with a dangerous fever, caused by humans. We used to think if we could keep warming below two degrees this century, then the changes we would experience would be manageable.
Not any more. This new study says that going past 1.5C is dicing with the planet’s liveability. And the 1.5C temperature “guard rail” could be exceeded in just 12 years, in 2030.”
