Climate change indicators are all in uncharted territory, 60 top scientists warn

More than 60 top scientists warned Thursday that climate change indicators are in uncharted territory, saying the planet will “rapidly reach a level of global warming of 1.5°C” – the cap set by the 2015 Paris Agreement to stave off the worst effects of climate change. Earth’s surface temperature surpassed the 1.5°C threshold over pre-industrial levels for the first time last year.
