With dramatic effects such as tornado outbreaks, major floods and extreme drought in different areas all over the world. Now, the key question is if we can hold global temperatures to a 1.5 degree rise. \u201cOn one level, the answer is very simple: if 2\u00baC is possible, then so is 1.\u00baC, albeit less likely, because we do not know precisely how the climate system will respond to future emissions, and still less how future emissions will respond to mitigation policies\u201d, says. Allen. To stabilize at 1.5\u00baC, temperatures need to fall, on average, by 20% per tenth of a degree of future warming. \u201cRight now, the world is warming by a tenth of a degree every 5-10 years, but of course that would slow as emissions fall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But CO2 is not the only pollutant causing warming, although it is the most persistent. \u201cAlmost all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/index.htm\">IPCC\u2019s scenarios project <\/a>that other sources of pollution (methane, soot and the like) will add at least another 0.5\u00baC to this, taking the total to 2\u00baC.\u201d, says Allen. \u201cBut we are only just beginning to work out how to reduce these other emissions, and in any case, it is the warming caused by CO2 that is particularly dangerous because it is so hard to reverse. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo \u00a9 Courtesy of USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This year, global warming turns 120.
