1.5 °C is an important threshold for many climate impacts, as shown by the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C. Every increment to global temperature is expected to increase weather extremes, such as heat waves and extreme precipitation events. There is also the risk of irreversible ice sheet loss.
The Climate Attribution Database contains scientific resources organized by theme. [15] A study of 2020 storms of at least tropical storm-strength published in Nature Communications concluded that human-induced climate change increased extreme 3-hourly storm rainfall rates by 10%, and extreme 3-day accumulated rainfall amounts by 5%. [16]
According to IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, in the last 170 years, humans have caused the global temperature to increase to the highest level in the last 2,000 years.The current multi-century period is the warmest in the past 100,000 years. [3]
Climate risk insurance is a type of insurance designed to mitigate the financial and other risk associated with climate change, especially phenomena like extreme weather. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] [ 24 ] The insurance is often treated as a type of insurance needed for improving the climate resilience of poor and developing communities.
The time at which global mean temperature is predicted to reach +2 °C compared to the pre-industrial period (1850–1900) is termed the "crossing year". [ 3 ] As a global target for limiting emissions, the 2 °C target has frequently been criticized for being higher than desirable, [ 1 ] [ 4 ] because two degrees of warming will have serious ...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has organized many of the risks of climate change into five "reasons for concern." [1] [2] The reasons for concern show that these risks increase with increases in the Earth's global mean temperature (i.e., global warming).
In 2022, the results of a 5-year warming experiment in North America had shown that the juveniles of tree species which currently dominate the southern margins of the boreal forests fare the worst in response to even 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) or 3.1 °C (5.6 °F) of warming and the associated reductions in precipitation.
