STORY: The earth is getting warmer and warmer. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that global warming will exceed the targeted maximum limit of 1.5 degrees in just a few years. Almost all scenarios predicted global warming of 1.5 degrees between 2030 and 2035, according to the current report. According to the scientists, the earth has already warmed by around 1.1 degrees compared to the pre-industrial era. According to the report, global warming can only be slowed down by a far-reaching, rapid and permanent reduction in emissions. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said: “Humanity is walking on thin ice, and that ice is melting fast. According to the report released today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, humans are responsible for virtually all of global warming over the past 200 years years. The rate of temperature rise over the past half century is the highest in 2,000 years. Carbon dioxide levels are at their highest for at least two million years. The climate time bomb is ticking.” According to the report, global warming can only be slowed down by a far-reaching, rapid and permanent reduction in emissions. For the first time, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change also gives a target for 2035: According to this, greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced by 65 percent compared to 2019. In order to avert climate change with catastrophic consequences, the world community agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming to well below two degrees, but if possible to 1.5 degrees.
