The thread discusses a UN report suggesting that global temperatures could be reduced back to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, though many researchers consider this scenario unlikely. The discussion centers on the feasibility of reversing global warming after overshooting the 1.5°C threshold. This is significant as it relates to climate policy and the urgency of climate action.

Can we really reverse global warming after overshooting 1.5℃? A UN report says it’s possible to get global temperatures back down to 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, but many researchers regard this scenario as highly unlikely. https://mediafaro.org/article/20260902-can-we-really-reverse-global-warming-after-overshooting-15c?mf_channel=mastodon&action=forward #ClimateChange #Climate #Science #UN
