1.5 degree is important to protect the balance of ecosystem in the earth and all living things can consistently survive and adopt in the changing of temperature.

[@jimmyliu4614]

Even with 1.5 degree warming, many vulnerable places and communities will suffer under climate change hazards. It is time to also have a target for climate change adaptation.

We have to help to protect our forest around the world.

The low lying islands must have a right to put tax on items that create a lot of carbon.

At the pace we are moving, we are beyond the 1.5 limit.

And look - no rise in sea level. How weird is that. The truth is that no matter how much hot air the politico's spout, we cannot control the earth's temperature and the simple truth is that no on know what the earths average temperature is. That is down to the sun and the revolutions of the earth.

@@jamesthomas7928 Global average sea level has risen 23cm since 1900. We know this from global tide gauge measurements and since 1993 we've had satellite altimetry. Sea level rise caused by human-based greenhouse gases is accelerating.

1.5 okay😢

There was todo experiment where if you put ice cube in water, and as the ice melts the water level in the cup does not increase. This case no extra water is being added cause Ice is waster in another form. So why does glacier burgs melting increase sea levels ?

I suppose ... It's means urbanisation and industrialisation must be done ... But ... It's our civilization , at all ... For God sake ... It's really ridiculous ... And foolish aim and plan ... Whatsoever ...

[@NickyMitchell85]

What about injecting sulphate aerosols and calcium carbonate to the upper layers of the atmosphere to reflect sunlight back into space. That’s gonna bring the temperature back down to normal.

I think bill Gates considered This. Some are concerned about uninteded consequences. Also if that fails suddenly for any reason, earth will rapidly warm up and it will be even more disastrous.
