Nations will likely burn through their remaining carbon budget in less than a decade if they do not significantly reduce greenhouse gas pollution, a new study shows, causing the world to blow past a critical warming threshold and triggering catastrophic climate impacts.

Global temperatures will increase between 2.1 and 2.9C by the end of the century even if all climate promises are kept, according to a UN report.
Despite a high-profile promise to boost ambitions at last year’s U.N. climate summit, nations have shaved just 1 percent off their projected greenhouse gas emissions for 2030, a new United Nations report found — leaving Earth on track to blow past a safe temperature threshold by almost a full degree.

More than 1,000 have died since mid-June from flooding that a senior official called a “climate-induced humanitarian disaster.”
Here are the latest stats from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communications. The preconditions for “creating political will for climate change solutions” are there.
Five weeks. Five instances of 1,000-year rain events. If it seems like the weather across the Lower 48 as of late has been bonkers, you’re not imagining things. It’s been a maelstrom of weather extremes, a seesaw fluctuating wildly from significantly dry to record wet conditions.
The analysis of hundreds of scientific studies – the most comprehensive to date – shows beyond doubt how humanity’s carbon emissions are forcing the climate to disastrous new extremes. Most worryingly, all this is happening with a rise of just 1C in the planet’s average temperature.
