Scientists Warn 1.5°C Climate Threshold Closes in 3 Years Without CO2 Reductions
Time Running Out to Curb Climate Change, Warn Scientists Scientists have issued a dire warning: the world has only 130 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide remaining in its “carbon budget” to avoid catastrophic warming beyond 1.5°C. At current emission rates, this budget will be exhausted in just three years. Even limiting warming to 1.6–1.7°C gives […]
