The planet is poised to breach the 1.5 °C warming ceiling, a threshold the United Nations says will be crossed imminently. Al Jazeera reports a proposal for a new global goal that would limit, peak, then decline temperatures, while openDemocracy outlines how societies must prepare for a world beyond 1.5 °C.
Yet newrepublic cautions that carbon‑capture technologies will not deliver a rapid fix. The clash between fresh target ambitions and the short‑term limits of removal options underscores a policy gap.
The UN’s warning adds pressure on governments to act before the overshoot becomes irreversible.
