The world's top climate scientists are about to announce that—without radical coordinated action—the world has locked in warming of at least 1.5°C.
Heroic efforts are now necessary to save the world from catastrophic climate change.
Be a hero.

On our current path, the world will reach 1.5°C warming in as little as 12 years.
***several hundred million*** people.
The current pledges in *every country in the world* are not enough.
This is the world we need. This is also the world we want.
IPCC: "It's very clear that half a degree matters."
IPCC: We identified 6 different conditions we'd need to meet to hit 1.5C. Is it possible within the laws of physics? Yes.
But the political feasibility? Frankly, that's up to politicians.
IPCC: We don't look at individual countries. We have sent a clear signal to the collectivity of countries. Feasibility isnt something for the scientists to decide, that's up to the countries of the world.
"If we don't act now" it will be essentially impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C.
"The only linking word you can use is 'and' in order to achieve the level of ambition necessary."
"We did feel the weight of working on this report. ... We exist in this shrinking space of possibilities."
"This report comes with wishful thinking that the message is being taken up by public and policy makers."
IPCC: "It is within the scope of what humans can achieve."
IPCC: "The report is quite clear ... all pathways require quite significant changes in the pattern of fossil fuel use. ... Coal will have to be reduced very, very substantially by mid-century."
IPCC: We didn't consider the possible impact of geoengineering in this report. "We have to follow the literature," and there is essentially no reliable information to know what would happen.
IPCC: Aviation and shipping aren't part of the UNFCCC. But, it's very difficult to keep planes in the air without petroleum or biofuels. This report shows drastic reductions in petroleum use by mid-century.
