Arctic study urges stronger climate action to prevent catastrophic warming

Remember when 2 degrees Celsius of global warming was the doomsday scenario? Well, we're now staring down the barrel of something much worse. From the fish on your plate to the weather outside your window, everything's about to change. A new study underscores the grave risks posed by insufficient national commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The research underscores that current nationally determined contributions (NDCs) -- the promises made by nations under the Paris Agreement -- will not suffice to achieve the 2°C target, which is the threshold marking a known tipping point beyond which widespread and severe global impacts are expected. Without substantial increases in these commitments, a future characterized by extreme temperatures and profound ecological disruptions appears unavoidable. This also suggests that scientific and policy efforts to understand the future risks of climate change need to now consider what a +3 or +4 degree world means.



People aren't really trying to meet the Paris agreement. So now things are rapidly getting worse. >_<

It feels like a sad time to live in. I feel like we could be making more of a difference but at the same time I'm almost worried it won't make much of a difference because this has been going on too long now
