UN Warns Of Increase In Global Warming By 2030

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has recently issued its synthesis report on six post2015 findings, warning that the speed and scope of what has been done so far and the current plans are insufficient to combat climate change and that the world will cross the dangerous threshold of 1.5-degree Celsius temperature rise (from the level of 1850-1900 level) by 2030

Even though there is a 50:50 chance that the world will warm by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius in any given year, all scenarios predict that the planet will warm by that amount over pre-industrial (1850-1900) levels in the following two decades. Due to an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events and sea level rise brought on by the melting of the polar ice, this condition might cause widespread harm around the world.
