The IPCC's latest report pleads for immediate environmental action.
The Earth will surpass the 1.5˚ C (2.7˚ F) benchmark cited by the Paris climate agreement within the next 20 or 30 years — even under the best scenarios designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, says the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). According to the report, the Earth is hotter now than it has been at any point since the last Ice Age.
