We’ve talked about the Paris Agreement before, the international treaty on climate change adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in December of 2015. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels. But why? Today, let’s talk about what that 1.5 degrees actually means.

I’m sure I can’t be the only one who’s sick to the back teeth of the words ‘unprecedented’ and ‘uncertain’. The fact of the matter, despite my new personal aversion to such words, is that they’re on

One concept which confounds many people in discussions around climate change and global warning, is that a rise of 1.5°C could be significant. I’ve never known a single day in my life where there’s not been greater variation than that, let alone then talking about seasonal variations in temperatures. So it’s no wonder that an average increase of a paltry 1.5°C leading to disaster is a difficult concept to come to grips with. Let’s explore how much it could really mean.
