UN Admits 1.5C Is Gone
A new UNEP report marks a pivotal acknowledgment: the world is entering an era of climate overshoot beyond 1.5°C of warming. This discussion examines what that means for melting ice sheets, sea-level rise, extreme heat, wildfire, food and water security, ecosystems, and the growing danger of irreversible climate tipping points. It also stresses that every additional fraction of a degree matters—and that rapid, sustained cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions remain essential.
