The term environmentalization has been used to refer the process of production and internalization of the environmental issue in the different spheres of social and moral instructions of individuals…
Are we on track to limit global warming to 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level?
Figure 1. Two main pathways for limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels are discussed in IPCC’s Special Report. The pathways are: stabilizing global temperature at, or just below, 1.5°C (left) and global temperature temporarily exceeding 1.5°C before coming back down later…
How come that an increase of the global average temperature of 1.5°C has such enormous effects on life on earth?
When I think about global warming I sometimes think about the temperature of the human body. When it is healthy the body temperature ranges between 36.5–37.5 °C. A temperature above 37.5°C is referred to as a fewer, signalling that the body isn’t well. An…
Why is 1.5°C so important?
Illustration from FAQ1.2, summary of FAQs in IPCC AR5 At the decade 2006-2015, human activity had caused the global average temperature had increased by 0.87°C (+/-0.12°C) compared to pre-industrial times (1850-1900). In 2015 a majority of the counties in the world gathered in Paris…
