The chance to keep global warming below 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone. But urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5°C by 2100. Current policies, however, put the 🌎 on course for up to 2.8°C this century. New #EmissionsGap Report: https://ow.ly/SNHX50ZZz8l

What does the modelling say about southern England being 1. Uninhabitable in 275?, 2. Unsuitable for current crops being planted by 2050?, 3. Water being of huge scarcity by 2050 essentially making southern England uninhabitable? We need these types of discussions because voters aren’t aware

☝️ "'Lowest possible' 1.5°C overshoot scenario limits peak warming around mid-century to 1.7-1.8°C" "Several systems (land permafrost, Greenland ice sheet, West Antarctic ice sheet and sub-polar gyre) likely have a tipping point around 1.5°C global warming" 👇 global-tipping-points.org

I heard an apologist on the radio today …. “Yes we know our future is unsustainable but we need more oil and gas.” The corporate world is and will destroy humanity unless we remove them and fast.
