Even if such cuts were to begin immediately it would only delay, not prevent, 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit of global warming. The IPCC also reported that 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit could be reached in as little as 11 years-and almost certainly within 20 years without major cuts in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. But much of this will get substantially worse with 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit of warming, and far worse at 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius), according to the IPCC’s “Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5☌”, released Sunday and examining more than 6,000 studies. The past decade has seen an astonishing run of record-breaking storms, forest fires, droughts, coral bleaching, heat waves, and floods around the world with just 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1.0 degrees Celsius) of global warming. The impacts and costs of 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) of global warming will be far greater than expected, according to a comprehensive assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released Sunday in Incheon, South Korea.
