Mulvaney, Kieran. "‘It’s Now or Never’: UN Climate Report’s 4 Urgent Takeaways". National Geographic. April 05, 2022. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/...

According to the recent IPCC report, "Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change", if urgent action is not taken immediately, humanity won't limit warming to 1.5°C – the threshold for more devastating fires, drought, storms, and other anthropogenic environmental disasters.  At their presently rising levels, however, greenhouse gas emissions are likely to create twice as much warming: approximately 3.2°C by 2100.  “It’s now or never if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C”, said the co-chair of the IPCC working group that produced the report.  “Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible” he warns.
