#climateovershoot

'If we significantly overshoot the temperature targets of the Paris Agreement, many #ClimateChange impacts will be irreversible. Therefore, every effort should be made to drastically reduce #emissions now. We can then avoid a significant #ClimateOvershoot, reach net-zero emissions by mid-century and keep warming “well below” 2℃.'

"Exceeding our emissions targets [temporarily] is known as a #ClimateOvershoot. It may lead to changes that won’t be reversible in our lifetime.

These changes include #SeaLevelRise, less functional ecosystems, higher risks of #SpeciesExtinction, and #glacier and #permafrost loss.

We are already seeing many of these changes."

“Research even suggests #GlobalWarming will temporarily exceed the 2℃ threshold, if atmospheric carbon dioxide (#CO₂) peaks at levels beyond what was anticipated.

Exceeding our #emissions targets is known as a #ClimateOvershoot. It may lead to changes that won’t be reversible in our lifetime.” https://mastodon.social/@theconversationau/111213922842778630
