TL;DR Summary

World leaders are gathering at the COP28 conference to address the critical issue of limiting global warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) above pre-industrial levels. The difference between this target and a 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) rise could have significant consequences for the planet, including sea level rise, extreme weather events, and heatwaves. The urgency to reduce carbon emissions is highlighted by the fact that humanity has only about six years to prevent a 50% chance of surpassing the threshold. The COP28 negotiations will focus on lowering carbon emissions and taking decisive action to combat climate change.
