Urgent Climate Warning: Carbon Budget Nearly Exhausted, Extreme Weather Expected
TL;DR Summary
Scientists warn that the world's remaining carbon budget to stay below 1.5°C of global warming will be exhausted within two years at current emission rates, making it increasingly likely that the 1.5°C target will be breached, which would lead to severe climate impacts. Urgent and substantial emissions cuts are essential to avoid catastrophic climate consequences, with current efforts still falling short.
