1.5C Warming Target Will Not Stop Devastating Sea Level Rise
Scientists warn that even limiting global warming to 1.5C will still cause several meters of sea-level rise over centuries due to continued melting of Greenland and Antarctica, threatening coastal communities and necessitating adaptation strategies. Current trajectories show a far worse outcome.
