"The recent news hit me like a heat wave: Climate experts have no doubt that we
are on our way to overshooting the 1.5°C increase in global heating the UN
leaders agreed on in the Paris Agreement of 2015 by at least 1°C before the end
of this century. This would have devastating consequences for the Earth and
everybody who lives on it.
Guardian reporters reached out to the most knowledgeable people on the
planet, all senior authors of climate reports for the Intergovernmental Planet
on Climate Change, and the responses were shocking: Almost 80 percent of the
respondents expect global temperature to rise at least 2.5°C above
pre-industrial levels by 2100, and almost half predict at least 3°C, a
catastrophic level of heating. Just 6 percent think we can still limit global
heating to a 1.5°C increase.
I was worried when I read their predictions but even more worried by the lack
of public response to them. Are we so used to horrifying climate predictions
that we simply ignore them?"
