REPORTS
Global Warming of 1.5 C
Here is the link to the landmark International Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty. The report (released October 18, 2018) concluded, at the time of release, that we had just 12 years to substantially limit greenhouse gasses if we were to avert climate change catastrophe.
