"In 2015 the global temperature increase over pre-industrial times hit 1°C.
We are now very close to reaching 1.5°C. It is predicted that by 2030 emissions will exceed the levels needed to keep the global warming increase below 2°C. Scientists warn that the world is on track for a temperature rise of at least 2.9°C to 3.4°C this century.
The increase will more likely be somewhere between 4°C to 6°C for three reasons: these estimates do not include irreversible feedback loops; as scientists delve deeper into the interconnections between all the elements in the biosphere, the estimates are constantly being revised upwards; humanity’s reaction to this crisis is nowhere near what it should be."
The effects of global warming will be catastrophic as the weather will change everywhere and become more extreme, humans will not be spared.
