Our world is at a crossroads — and our planet is in the crosshairs," he said. "We are nearing the point of no return; of overshooting the internationally agreed limit of 2.7 Fahrenheit of g****l w*****g."
That threshold, agreed in Paris almost eight years ago and measured against average temperatures during pre-industrial times, has become the yardstick for climate scientists who warn of the dangers of an ever hotter planet. Guterres cited recent IPCC reports showing that while some impacts of g****l w*****g are already unavoidable, "it is possible to limit g****l w*****g to 1.5 degrees with rapid and deep emissions reductions across all sectors of the global economy." Some scientists disagree, noting that the rate at which greenhouse gas is being pumped into the atmosphere makes this limit almost impossible to keep to.
The U.N. chief said the final installment in the IPCC's sixth reporting cycle — known as the synthesis report because it brings together insights from six previous papers — should provide governments with "solid, frank, detailed scientific guidance to make the right decisions for people and planet" when they gather for the annual world climate conference in Dubai at the end of the year.
