We will shoot past the 1.5°C target, averaged over 20 years, by the end of this decade. There’s no way to prevent it.
After that, to avoid 2C, 3C, or even 4C, it will take a massive and — dare we say? — highly unlikely global effort to unite in slashing carbon emissions at an unprecedented rate.
__________________________________
For global average temperatures to stabilize at less than 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, humanity needs to achieve 43% greenhouse gas emissions cuts by 2030. But progress on climate action has stagnated in recent years, global GHG emissions are yet to peak, and our remaining carbon budget is dwindling.
Above 1.5°C of warming, we risk passing critical tipping points in natural Earth systems, triggering self-perpetuating changes that could shift the planet out of the habitable zone for humanity and for life as we know it. Even with rapid, large-scale action on climate change, crossing some tipping points may now be unavoidable.

In an extraordinary example of resilience, Namibia’s desert lions—once thought to be confined to the arid interior—are now roaming the Atlantic coastline, evolving into the world’s only known maritime lions. According to BBC Future, these rare big cats have adapted to extreme conditions by changing their diet and habitat, swapping traditional prey like oryx and springbok for seals, flamingos, and even cormorants
