#climatecollapse: "Global heating will reach at least 1.8C under even the most optimistic future. Overshooting the 1.5C goal inscribed in the landmark Paris agreement of 2015 was now 'unavoidable' and... likely in the next few years. UNEP said: 'There are no good outcomes above 1.5C'." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/02/global-heating-warming-1-8c-best-case-scenario-un-united-nations-environment-programme-report
