As global temperatures approach the critical 1.5-degree Celsius threshold, climate experts debate the viability of maintaining this target. Researchers warn that surpassing this limit could trigger catastrophic climate events and accelerate changes in tipping elements like the Greenland ice sheet, leading to significant sea-level rise. Experts suggest that instead of focusing solely on abstract numbers, narratives illustrating the tangible impacts of climate change may better motivate action. While achieving the 1.5-degree goal remains physically possible, urgent and drastic reduction in CO2 emissions is required to avoid crossing dangerous thresholds.
